After the outcry, time for apologies. Pinned for having displayed a degrading flag towards Théo Hernandez to celebrate Inter Milan’s 20th title on Sunday, the Dutchman Denzel Dumfries calmed things down with a message published on his Instagram account on Monday. “During the parade, I held a flag that displayed an inappropriate image,” he wrote. (…) I am a player who loves rivalry in football. I understand it was an error in judgment, and not smart at all. »
During the parade to celebrate Inter’s title, Dumfries unfurled a large flag showing the head of the French international left-back (25 caps) in the body of a dog on a leash, held by Dumfries himself in the background , equipped with a baseball bat. “Yesterday (Sunday) was the happiest day for me, the players and all the members of the club (…). Let’s continue to focus on this incredible season for Inter Milan. Thank you again for all your support this season, and for the celebrations I will never forget. “, he continued in his apology message.
A new episode in the dispute between the two men, direct opponents on the field (Dumfries plays on the left side, Hernandez on the right) and in one of the biggest derbies in the world. During the last duel, which sealed Inter’s coronation, the two men were also sent off after a scuffle.
Suffice to say that their reunion next season risks being tense. Unless they take place in June, since France and the Netherlands are in the same group at the Euro in Germany (June 14-July 14)…
