Both Denzel Dumfries and Theo Hernandez could have a major impact on the Milan derby on Saturday evening, according to a report in the Italian print media today.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport today, they are both key components of Inter and AC Milan’s build up play and they will have a major influence over the outcome of the Derby della Madonnina.
They do have different skill sets though. Theo Hernandez is much more adept at shooting from the angle of the penalty area whereas Denzel Dumfries is a master of arriving at the back post for a header.
They both carry the ball up the pitch with immense pace but Theo Hernandez is certainly the better overall dribbler out of the two.
Simone Inzaghi and Stefano Pioli will be directing much of their attacking play down the same side of the pitch where the two wingbacks operate.
