Lucas Hernandez speaks about his father: We've not heard from him for 12 years

Atletico Madrid's French international, Lucas Hernandez, has revealed that he and his brother Theo, at Real Sociedad on loan from Real Madrid, haven't seen their father, the ex-Rayo and Atleti player Jean Francois Hernandez, for over a decade.


Despite the difficult family situation, the support of his mother has ensured that both Lucas and Theo were able to pursue their dreams of professional football.

"I owe everything to her, she's the one who brought us up, who took my brother and I to football, who worked I don't know how many hours to feed us," he said to Le Parisien.

"What I am is thanks to her.

"We've not heard from our father for 12 or 13 years, not even after winning the World Cup.

"Now that I'm a father, I'm even more aware of what he's done, that he has failed in his father's role.

"What I can't imagine is giving up my son, I would never do it, and even if I have to sleep under a bridge for my son's happiness, I will."

Though their professional careers have headed in different directions, the bond between Lucas and Theo is as strong as ever.

"I am his older brother and protector," Lucas continued.

"We've had difficult moments, but we've always been together and when he needed me, I was there.

"There has always been a great connection between us, he is my little brother and my best friend, and even today our links are very strong."

It's been a hugely successful year for Lucas, but the player has admitted that it's changed him as a person.

"My son Martin has changed my life, my way of thinking, of seeing the world, before I only thought of myself and now everything I do is for him," he added.

"I am not the same man anymore.

"Six months ago I didn't even know that I would go to the World Cup, but today I am a world champion and father.

"In a few years, when he is older, I will tell him about this incredible summer."

I hope their pops is in a gutter somewhere knowing his sons made it in life without him. You have to be a real POS to abandon your kids.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea says he is focused on "winning games, rather than contracts", despite being yet to agree a new deal.

The 27-year-old's contract runs out next summer, with the club having an option to extend to 2020.

United manager Jose Mourinho has said he is "not confident" the Spaniard will sign a new contract, but De Gea insists he is "very happy" at Old Trafford.

"You have to be focused on what's important," he told Sky Sports.

"What matters is the team and all of us being focused on what we need to focus on, which is winning games, rather than contracts or any topics that can be a distraction. What matters is focusing on football.

"You don't have time to think about things that aren't as important as football and the points that are at stake in the games that we have to win and do well in."

In August, United were positive over the chance of De Gea renewing his deal, but Juventus have reportedly targeted the Spain international as another low-cost high-quality addition after picking up Liverpool midfielder Emre Can, Barcelona full-back Dani Alves, Bayern Munich midfielder Sami Khedira and Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente on free transfers in recent years.

"If the club want to be better than it is and not worse, obviously it would be very important to keep David," Mourinho said in an interview on Friday.

De Gea, who joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 in an £18.9m deal, is one of several players nearing the end of their deals.

"I've been at the club for eight seasons now. I'm very happy here," said the keeper, who has been the Premier League club's player of the year for the past four years.

"I always feel that warmth from the fans and everyone who works at the club."

But is it PES 6 Adriano, tho? If not :camby:



On a side note, Kluivert never really fulfilled his full potential. Never scored 20 league goals in season nor did he ever hit 30 in all comps either. Quite disappointing tbh :ld:

Femi Martins, Recoba and Adriano :wow:

GOAT console strikeforce. If Adriano didn't do you from 35 yards, Recoba would. If Adriano couldn't outrun your defence, Martins would. When I used them, use to taunt my mates with, the Communists are coming. (As they were all lefties)
