Theo Hernandez has posted for the first time since last night’s red card, and his message is to AC Milan, his teammates and the fans.
Last night went exactly the way that Milan hoped it would not. Not only did the Rossoneri not progress in Europe, but the Rossoneri saw Theo Hernandez sent off, which many feel cost the side the game.
This incident could have never come at a ‘good time’ but there were certainly better times. Surrounded by rumours about his future, the Frenchman was given his marching orders which has only further fuelled speculation about the next few months.
Today, he has posted a message on his Instagram in an attempt to diffuse the situation, but whether it has worked remains to be seen.
“Football is unpredictable: it offers us great joys, but also painful moments. Today I feel immense frustration.
“I apologise to my teammates for leaving them down 10 and I apologise to the fans who always support us. But this club is a family and together we will recover. Let’s all get back up together. Forza Milan.
Words, ultimately, mean little and Theo must now prove himself on the pitch, for his own sake as well as the Diavolo’s. If he fails to do so, both will not receive what they want this summer.
