Theo Hernandez has struggled this season, and reports suggest it is for a multitude of reasons. Therefore, it is in the best interest of everyone for AC Milan to find a cure.
Last season, Theo was considered one of the best full-backs in the world, a title which he had held consistently in recent years. However, this season, he is a million miles away from that player, and there are some key reasons why that could be.
Didier Deschamps claimed his drop was due to a psychological issue – Calciomercato.com, therefore, suggests that the player must work on his mental aspect if a return to his previous levels is possible. A reset as it were, to bring him back to the devastating player who once shone.
In addition to this, there was another issue picked up on – his time on the pitch. Across all competitions, the Frenchman plays effectively every three days, and the mental drop could be linked to his lack of time ‘off’.
Fonseca is seemingly already looking at alternatives for the weekend, and the report suggests that he will not be present from the first minute against Genoa, so perhaps his chance for a mental and physical break could be now.
Looking too far into the future is difficult, especially when a potential departure is hanging over the situation. However, the report suggests that the answer could come from the recruitment team.
The lack of a ‘proper’ deputy has shown heavily this season, and the latest suggestions are that Fabiano Parisi could be an option in the January mercato to offer a more valid rotation option, and this could return Theo to his best.
He is more of a winger than a defender, play 3-5-2
Exactly. The man can’t defend so put him higher on the pitch.
They can’t. Not unless we fix his off field issues and get him therapy and a new coach. And replace those clowns in the management.
And honestly I’m a bit tired of his lackluster attitude in defensive phase.
When we played cb he showed he can defend if he wants 2.
Nowadays he’s like, ‘I’m there, that’s enough, right?’ Nah dude, you gotta ga for that ball with confidence and menace. So the opposition is afraid to go down your flank.. bully them like ramos and pepe did
I agree with you. I don’t know what his issue is, but Theo was arguably the best LB in the world for three seasons in a row. Saying he can’t defend is crazy to me.
Can’t defend or won’t defend. The end result is the same.
Klub u koji će uskoro preći inzistira da igra slabije kako bi mu cjena PALA !! To se i događa jer je totalno indolentan i razdražljiv a nemoguće je da zaboraviš igrati !!!
Theo want his last big salary increase, because he almost 30 years old. When player is more than 30, it is low chance have big salary increase.
That’s why he play like crap and make a lot drama. He is protesting “I WANT MY LAST BIG SALARY INCREASE BEFORE 30 YEARS OLD”.
Well… Is that kind of behavior OK? You think we fans should accept that he’s not performing well because he wants more money? He’s entitled to walk around the pitch not caring until he gets more money?
It look like it is ok. Look what he did, but he get captain armband, and the armband still in his hand.
He has been given the armband even though he is among 5 player with worse performance this season according gazetta.
Look at reality. You can play crap, you can make a lot drama, you get captain armband, you can keep the armband.
