Theo Hernandez, AC Milan's star and one of the best fullbacks in Europe, has entrusted L'Officiel Arabia with these words:
On the music he listens to before the game:
" I really like an artist called Demarco Flamenco."
On what kind of job he would have done if he wasn't playing football:
"I hadn't been a footballer, I think I would have worked in an industry that has relationships with people, like the PE teacher. Even though it sounds cliché, I like to say that in life it is important to do the things you love and believe in."
On who influenced him the most:
""I can think of many. During my career, I have met and worked with fantastic people who they have given me so much both personally and professionally. If I have to mention someone I would say Karim Benzema for his professionalism and Mike Tyson for his determination. But to name just one, I would say Zinedine Zidane who is an amazing person who taught me many things."
On his situation at Milan:
"I feel very well at Milan. The atmosphere, the games, the crowd, everything is incredible. I am very happy with my life in Milan.”
On the ankle injury:
"When I first came to Milan, I injured my ankle in a friendly match against Bayern Munich. Due to the injury, I was forced to sit still for some time. It was a hard hit for me, but thanks to my family, friends and our fans I was able to face the situation."
On the absence of fans in the stadiums:
"The fact that it was something unknown and new was really scary. For the world of sport, the most obviously big was the relationship with the fans. I really miss not being able to meet them or see them at the stadium during the matches. This pandemic is serious. However, I'm convinced that we can find a way to make it disappear and return to how things were before covid. This is the most important wish right now."
On his beginnings:
"I have been interested in football since I was a child. It was my family and friends who made football more than just a simple sport. It has been my passion since I was a child and I am very happy to be able to live it today. Later, I went to live in Spain and you know how important football is in this country. You could say that my whole childhood has me made the footballer that I am today. My family quickly realized that my brother and I had skills and that we were in love with the game. Later, I joined in Atletico Madrid at the age of 10. I was very young and I am very grateful to the club that formed me, gave me a lot and allowed me to keep my passion for football."
