Afonso, a former coach of Theo Hernandez was interviewed by Tuttosport for today's edition. Here are his words of the French full-back:
"He is an open and playful person, perhaps a bit crazy in a good way. On the pitch he applied himself to the maximum."
"Physically? He was brutal. He flies when he finds space and He's a power ball and chain. Why didn't he win in Madrid? Maybe he didn't defend as Simeone would have liked"
"At Real they preferred others. In Milan he is a starter and he makes the difference. The key is confidence. He has ample room for improvement and can still improve. He is still young, the Champions League will make him stronger."
"He is already one of the best. With his experience at Milan he can become the best. As offensive characteristics he is at Roberto Carlos as physical prowess Maldini: he is powerful and strong."
