Today is a critical day in the season for AC Milan, as they lock horns with Tottenham for a coveted spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian newspaper, delves into the Rossoneri's most influential figures, including a piece on Theo Hernandez. The article highlighted how AC Milan's performance is heavily influenced by the Frenchman's form and temperament.
When the Frenchman is in top gear, his decisive contributions in Europe are simply devastating, as Salzburg can attest to after being ruthlessly dismantled by his movements. However, when Hernandez isn't firing on all cylinders, he tends to stifle the team's creative flow.
Tonight, he will be called upon to lead the charge against Tottenham, capitalizing on their weaker right flank while pushing Milan forward. Head coach Stefano Pioli, for his part, has urged Hernandez to maintain his composure, as his tendency to get flustered in high-pressure situations could be detrimental to the team's chances of success.
Nevertheless, there is no denying the pivotal role the mercurial Frenchman plays in determining the fortunes of the Rossoneri.
