Dumfries: ‘Theo Hernandez and I obviously don’t like each other on the pitch

Dumfries: ‘I certainly can’t say Theo Hernandez and I like each other’

“Obviously, we don’t like each other much on the pitch,” Dumfries said in an interview with Lega Serie A.

“I can’t say we’re friends off it because that would be a lie. But we have mutual respect: during the game, we each fight for our own colours.

“We even faced off at the Euros, but that’s part of the game. Off the pitch, there’s no problem between us, but on it, we only think about winning.

“There are many clashes, but that’s natural in football. I certainly can’t say we like each other, that’s for sure.”

Both Dumfries and Theo Hernandez were sent off when their sides met in April 2024, on the night the Nerazzurri were crowned Italian champions for the 20th time.
