Hernandez discusses four years at Milan and his growth: “I’m very proud”

Theo Hernandez has been a key player for AC Milan in the last three seasons, now the vice-captain of the club. His growth has been commendable and in a recent interview, the left-back discusses his time with the Rossoneri. 

Hernandez arrived at the club back in 2019 and Milan paid just €20m for his services. Four years later, he’s considered one of the best left-backs in the world. Naturally, that deal has been labelled as a bargain for the Rossoneri.

The 26-year-old is currently on international duty with the French national team and he was interviewed by Telefoot today (via MilanNews). When asked about his time at Milan, he stated that he is ‘very proud’ and that he wants to continue to grow.

His time at Milan…

“It’s true that I’ve been there for a long time, now I’m the vice-captain. I’m very proud to be at Milan. Now I have to continue like this, I have to work every day.”

His growth and change since he left Spain…

“I have changed, 3-4 years have passed. Since I had my son I have changed in every aspect. In life, in football, in everything. I’m very happy, as is normal.”

France will take on Gibraltar as well as Greece in the Euro Qualifiers and Hernandez will certainly feature in at least one of these games. Milan are hoping that he won’t sustain any injuries, as with any of their players out on international duty.
