Theo Hernandez trolls AC Milan chiefs with Maldini merchandise | OneFootball

Theo Hernandez has sent another pointed message to the current Milan hierarchy by posting an image of himself wearing former director Paolo Maldini’s merchandise.

The left-back made the transfer to Al-Hilal this summer and left with a series of critical comments aimed at those in charge of the Rossoneri, accusing them of losing their way since dismissing Maldini.

It was therefore not a coincidence when he posted an Instagram Stories image of himself wearing a Paolo Maldini ‘Il Capitano’ shirt today.

There was no text with the picture, only the emoji of a smirking face in sunglasses.

He was also looking down at the shirt, tipping his hat to the legend who had been so instrumental in bringing Theo Hernandez to San Siro in the first place.

Maldini has become a rallying figure behind the movement of Milan fans who are against patron Gerry Cardinale and his directorial team, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Giorgio Furlani.
