Throughout the history of AC Milan, you can find some of the best talents in the world, and it was hoped that Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao would cement themselves, but this has not happened.
At one point in time, if you were told that sentence would be written, you would probably laugh. After all, this is Theao we are writing about. However, the current reality is that it is the regular involving the duo.
Talk of their phenomena has dwindled rapidly, and now we are left with moments of their excellence, rather than the prolonged spells of the past.
Gazzetta dello Sport starts with an anecdote about how quality footballers are only the best with application, consistency and character. This, really, is where Leao and Theo suffer the most. Their talent together or separately is easily identifiable. However, their issues with showing it regularly cause bumps.
The reality is quite simple, on paper, they have the mark of potential ‘champions, leaders, class’. Yet, both struggle with showing that, making the dream of Theao like an ‘illusion’.
Currently, the ‘stars are without light’ and this is causing doubt to creep in. Leao has already been blessed with a hefty contract – the Rossoneri ‘did everything’ to gamble on the star of the future. However, with Theo, it is not as simple.
Reports are suggesting that the road for Theo leads away from Milano, but what is the price to pay for this idea? Both financially and in terms of the squad…
