Problems at Milan in Italy? 2 players snub coach in the middle of the game

They say that a picture says and is worth more than a thousand words, And this was precisely what happened in a new round of the Italian Serie A when in the duel between Lazio and AC Milan, at the time of the hydration break, two Rossoneri players did not approach the rest of the team on the bench to follow the instructions given by the technical director Paulo Fonseca, which attracted attention and set off alarm bells immediately, especially on the part of the fans of the red and black team.

The fact did not go unnoticed at all and already from Italy There is talk of a “schism” over the actions of players Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao this weekend. These two players did not make up the starting 11 for Milan’s match against Roma, as coach Fonseca opted to leave Theo and Leao on the bench.

In recent days both had received criticism for their low form and the lack of involvement in the matches, being high profile and level players. No measures are expected from the club so far in view of what happened against Lazio.

But despite this, in the match against Lazio, Fonseca was not left The only thing that was needed was to bring on both players, and in the 70th minute of play he did so. It was at that precise moment when Theo and Leao came on that Milan were able to secure the final equaliser in the 72nd minute of play and the Portuguese striker managed to score the 2-2. After that, there was a hydration break, which took place just 2 minutes after both were on the pitch.

Players speak and smooth things over

Although the images of the moment when Theo and Leao They did not attend the meeting between the players and the coaching staff, but the protagonists of the moment spoke up and explained what had happened: “We had been on the pitch for two minutes, we didn’t need the break to cool off. It was nothing against the team and the coach. Now we have to keep working to win together.” And once again he wanted to make it clear: “We had been on the pitch for two minutes. We didn’t need it. Then people talk, they say things that aren’t true. Rafa and I are always with the team to help, and that’s the important thing,” admitted the Frenchman.

“There is no problem and I think Theo has already explained it.”We must not create any problems. This week I spoke with the players who accepted the election. The players’ response was good and we must not create problems when I am not there. I do not come out with excuses and for the moment there is no problem,” said the coach.

The media in Italy think otherwise

Despite the explanations of the players and the coachFor the Italian press, this is simply a breakdown and a lack of connection: “The problem is deep in Milan. Chaos in Milan: Theo and Leao isolate themselves,” were the words of the Gazzetta. “Storm in Milan: Fonseca calls up the team and Theo and Leao do not participate,” can be read in the Corriede dello Sport.
