Milan and Calhanoglu, tense stories in the derby: from Pioli’s sentence to Theo’s missed greeting

A pat behind the head after a “five” … missed. Protagonists: Theo Hernandez and Calhanoglu, from teammates to rivals. These are the facts. The Turkish playmaker gives all his team-mates a high five, but as soon as he sees the Frenchman he goes straight. Theo, at this point, gives him a small slap on the back of the head, on his neck, causing the reaction of Hakan, who pulls his shirt and says something. A sort of “well, what are you doing?” Theo spreads his arms and replies.

The success of Milan in the derby helped to make the curtain between the two very popular. On social media, they have been talking about it for a while. The target is always Calhanoglu. Also of Pioli. All the fault of an interview given by the Turk before the match: “We have fire inside”. Pioli, as said in the post match, has hung this sentence in the locker room to load him. “Sometimes I use something of my own, other times I don’t: the important thing is to have a group that thinks, reflects, worries, and is then ready to give their best”. This time Pioli used the words of his former player, fundamental for qualifying for the Champions League in 2021 and then flew to Inter.

With Ibra

–

The one between him and Theo was not the first disagreement between Calhanoglu and the Milan world. Obviously we are talking about Ibra. After winning the Scudetto, on the open bus, with the megaphone in hand, Zlatan urged the fans to send a message to the Turk, guilty of having left the Rossoneri for his rivals at the end of the contract. The Swede also talked about it in his book, Adrenalina: “Before I arrived, Calhanoglu had never played so well. I always joked with him, among other things, during the European Championship we wrote to each other …”. Hakan recently ‘replied’ to Ibra in his own way. In making the dream quintet based on nationality, he chose Vidal for Chile, Pogba for France, Lautaro for Argentina, Ronaldinho for Brazil and Isak for Sweden, ignoring Ibra.
