"Theo Hernandez has given his stamp of approval for Davide Bartesaghi, who has become the unexpected heir to the Frenchman on the left-hand side of AC Milan's formation. When Hernandez left Milan in the summer, joining the Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal, many wondered how the Rossoneri would be able to replace the Frenchman. Indeed, the discussion quickly shifted from finding a player of the same calibre to finding just a decent left-back."
"He also said that he spoke to Bartesaghi, who has been very impressive this season. "Yes, before the Napoli match [in the Supercoppa] I met them. When I left, I couldn't hug them all like I wanted. I'm sorry they lost. I said 'well done' to Bartesaghi, who deserves everything, and hugged Modric, whom I played with in Madrid. A genius: he's on another level," he stated."
Davide Bartesaghi has taken over the left wing-back role at AC Milan following Theo Hernandez's summer departure to Al Hilal. Milan signed Pervis Estupiñán from Brighton for just under €20m, but Estupiñán has not filled the gap as expected. The young Bartesaghi has grown into the position and impressed with his performances this season. Hernandez met the squad in Riyadh before the Napoli Supercoppa match and spoke directly to Bartesaghi, congratulating him and offering praise. Hernandez also embraced Luka Modric and described Modric as a genius on another level. Hernandez's endorsement should boost Bartesaghi's profile and confidence.
