Just two weeks after facing each other for the first time in their careers, Lucas and Theo Hernandez will face each other again, this Tuesday evening, during the return match between AC Milan and PSG. While this unprecedented opposition had largely turned in favor of the older of the two Hernandez brothers with a large 3-0 victory at the Parc des Princes, this second act will be fought against a backdrop of revenge.
During the long interview he gave us before the Parisian club’s trip to San Siro, Lucas Hernandez made it known that his little brother, uncertain for a while but well and truly able to play, was determined to win this second duel between brothers. . And admitted that their phones had heated up a little between the two meetings. “Of course he is vengeful,” confided the PSG left-back. But it’s up to us to do the work there. Was there any chambering? A little bit but it’s still good-natured. »
“For Theo, it wasn’t easy”
Asked about the uniqueness of this confrontation, the 2018 world champion insisted on the unique character of the opposition and its emotional side which touched the members of the Hernandez family, present in the stands of the Parc des Princes on October 25. On the other hand, once the match started, PSG number 21 wanted to ignore things and not disperse. “They were strong emotions. Especially for my family who were at the stadium. It was a unique moment for us, agrees Lucas Hernandez. It was the first time we were against each other. Afterwards on the field, you don’t realize it. I don’t tell myself that I’m playing against my brother. It’s especially before the match that we talk, that we exchange a little. »
Once this meeting was over, the two brothers fell into each other’s arms, the older one comforting his younger brother on the lawn. The discussion between brothers continued behind the scenes at the Parc de Princes with the rest of the relatives for a unique family debrief.
“We were able to debrief together. We talked about everything, the match, the chances, the way we played and the way they played, explains Lucas Hernandez. Afterwards I can’t tell everything (he smiles). For him, it wasn’t easy because a defeat is not easy. We had little time because he had to go back to Milan but enough to see our family who were there. We went to see my grandparents, my mother and my uncle. We took the time to see each other together. » A scene which should certainly recur this Tuesday in the bowels of San Siro at the end of another truly unusual evening.
