Milan are having a fantastic week. After having brought down Juventus with a great 3-0 away from home, the rossoneri They triumphed this Wednesday in the same city, retaliating against Torino. The 0-7 leaves the Champions one step away: winning three points in the last two days, the club will return to the European Cup after seven years without playing it.
A fundamental result, which with the consecutive defeats against Sassuolo and Lazio was once again in danger. Then, however, there were three successes in a row, and in each of them Theo's contribution was decisive. The ex-Madridista scored a goal against Benevento, was one of the best against Juventus and, the day before yesterday, he signed a double with a whip from outside the area that opened the can, and a delicate Vaseline for 0-4. With these, he already has eight goals and seven assists in this course, impressive numbers for a full-back.
Today he received praise in all the newspapers (“SuperTheo is back,” he wrote the Gazzetta), and yesterday the technician Pioli reiterated that he envisions a stellar future for the Frenchman: “If he plays like in the last two games, he can be the best left-back in the world. He is terrific in both phases, he must keep working and not be content. “The player, for his part, can't wait to win the ticket to the Champions League:” I'm already thinking about the next game, “he told 'Sky Sport', “We still need a little more to conquer it.” Theo is still waiting for Deschamps' call (“I hope I can go to the National Team”) and confirmed his wonderful relationship with Maldini: “He is like my best friend, he supported me at every moment”. After that meeting in Ibiza two years ago, they are already inseparable …
“Achraf or Theo? Difficult …”
Another high-sounding name joining the wave of praise for the ex-Madridista is Demetrio Albertino, a former Milan or Atlético de Madrid midfielder who shares Pioli's story line. “He has all the qualities to become the best winger in the world, but obviously, for this he must win international trophies “, he points out in Sky Sports. In addition, it leaves an interesting question open: “Is (Achraf) Hakimi or him stronger? It's hard to make a decision …”.
“He is the best left back there is … I don't understand why France doesn't call him”
Manu González, discoverer of Theo, in 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'
On The GazzettaIn addition, they have contacted its discoverer, a Manu Gonzalez that he was the first coach of both Theo and his brother Lucas, at Rayo Majadahonda. The now coach of the Gimnástica Segoviana surrenders to the side: “He is the best left back there is. Physical strength, speed and dribbling. He was already like that when he was a child. I don't understand why France doesn't call him”. The numbers support him, but Deschamps has not yet counted on him, will he be the surprise of the list for the Eurocopa? Next Tuesday, at which time the call for applications is announced Les Bleus, we will know the answer.
