Small promotion at Clairefontaine valid only on Tuesday. For the press conference of a brother Hernandez, the second was offered to us. So as not to offend anyone, we won’t say who Lucas is
or Theo is number one, even if the eldest status of the first city and his seniority in the France team have more or less tacitly granted him the right to speak first to each question asked by a rather enthusiastic college of journalists by the event.
In any case more than Raphaël “Brice Hortefeu” Varane, who will say a few minutes later, laughing, that “already one Hernandez was not easy, so two” (before adding: “there is a very good atmosphere, it’s exceptional to have two brothers like that at the highest level ”).
Lucas was fishing during the DD list
It’s true that we have a good time with the brothers. Take Lucas, for example. Do you think the Bayern Munich defender saw the big picture for the most important DD list in his family history? You put your finger in your eye. The guy followed this pepouze on his phone, because he had much, much better to do. “That day I was fishing. When I saw that he was in the circles I said to myself ‘here he is’. Then I called him and told him to be careful not to get hurt until Monday [jour du rassemblement des Bleus]. In the family, everyone was very proud and moved to see us together. This is not the first time in the history of the Blues that this has happened, but it is still an exceptional moment. “
What does Theo say about all of this? “It’s an honor to be in the France team with my brother”. Still a little shy, the youngest is content to stay in the wake of the elder, from whom he takes most of the answers, but which he does not refrain from gently sleeping in, especially when asked if he is. as bad loser as Lucas. “When I lose, I’m not good and I think that’s how it is for all players. My brother is a bit too much, though (laughs). “
🇨🇵 Lucas #Hernandez : “It is a source of pride, a pleasure to be able to be here with my brother. It is an exceptional, incredible moment. I hope to enjoy it with him. For all my family, it is a unique moment, of happiness, of pleasure ”.

Mutual assistance in all circumstances
Joy of life and ambient joy that the rivalry of a position – that of left side, unless Deschamps brings down Lucas in central defense to use Theo as an offensive side – will not alter, as the two brothers promise. “When the games start, and it doesn’t matter if it’s me, my brother or both on the field, we will be united and we will give each other advice, promises Lucas. We’re going to row in the same direction. “” We will help each other, confirms Theo. I know Lucas will be there to help me at all times. “
Already that Lucas has missed the hazing of the Milanese at the last rally (“I saw his song, it was not terrible”), he should not fail in addition to his duty as a big brother within the Blues. Even if basically, there is not much to worry about: Theo would be as sociable as Lucas. Varane is not at the end of his troubles.
