On September 1st, in the third round of Serie A, AC Milan drew 2-2 away with Lazio, still failing to secure a victory this season.
In this match, an unharmonious scene occurred. When the game entered the hydration break in the second half, the players of Lazio and Milan all appeared beside their respective head coaches, drinking water to replenish their energy while listening to tactical instructions. However, Leao and Theo stood far at the other end of the field, watching the team from a distance.
Theo commented on the situation at the time: “I had just come on for two minutes and didn’t need to drink water to replenish myself. Some people might use this as an excuse to say things that aren’t true. Leao and I have always been working hard to help the team, and that’s what matters.”
Milan’s head coach Fonseca also addressed the incident: “There is no problem. Theo has already given a reasonable explanation for his behavior at the time. We don’t need to create any issues. This week, I’ve spoken with the players, and they are all very positive. I won’t look for excuses for not winning. There is no problem with the team right now.”
