Panucci, surprised by how Madrid let Achraf and Theo go

Next Sunday Inter and Milan will meet. A derby that can be worth a Scudetto. Inter passed Milan in the standings after Pioli's defeat against Spezia and Conte's victory against Lazio. A point separates them and it was a long time since a derby was going to live with so much excitement in qualifying, with the two Lombard clubs fighting for the title at the top. One of the attractions of the duel will once again be the duel that Achraf and Theo resolve again. Two of the best sides of Calcio, or directly the best. And with a common denominator, his departure from Real Madrid. The situation contrasts with what the white team is currently experiencing, with the loss of Carvajal, Marcelo and the problems in defense.

In Italy they can't quite believe how Real Madrid could get rid of the two players who are now in fashion in Italy. One of them is precisely Panucci. The former Real Madrid and Milan defender is hugely surprised. “I would want them both on my team,” he says on GazzaTalk. The former Italian international is particularly seduced by how the two stand out with two different profiles and with different characteristics, but all to shine in a football with character and an offensive vocation. “Hakimi is much more offensive than defensive. Theo Hernández has a great leg and is decisive for Milan. What Real Madrid did is strange, they probably opted for something else, but Achraf and Theo could have helped them a lot, because, by boat soon, I don't remember many players in their position with that quality, “argues Panucci.

The two sides sharpen the scheme of their respective teams. Achraf has adapted well to Conte's always demanding idea after his stint at Dortmund. Theo is on the rise and is already one of the most important players in the Milan dressing room. Maldini insisted on him coming to the club and the player couldn't be happier with his decision.
