Theo Hernandez

When a Chinese journalist told him his nickname among Chinese fans is “Supercar” for speed, he joked: "I prefer Ferrari."

France had a nightmare start to the World Cup with star players Kante and Pogba amongst a range of others dropping off due to injury. His brother Theo replaced him at left back in a straight swap, even though they are different styles of players Theo Hernandez wants to win the World Cup for France.

Didier Deschamps has had to call upon a number of would-be reserves to play a leading role for Les Bleus.

Impressive in the Champions League final in summer, he was similarly good in a World Cup semi-final. It was not how many they scored, however, but when, and Theo Hernandez and Kolo Muani, who might have been watching on from the technical area and the sofa respectively, instead showed France’s second-string players could make them officially first in the world. Were N’Golo Kante available, Aurelien Tchouameni would probably be a reserve: instead he is a commanding presence at the base of the midfield and, besides knocking Kante out of Deschamps’ first XI, should be a candidate for a place in the team of the tournament. Theo Hernandez might not be the best left-back in his family but he has scored in a World Cup semi-final. This has been their World Cup of the stand-in, of the understudies who have become invaluable. Theo could have conceded a penalty for a collision with Sofiane Boufal; instead, the winger was unfortunate to be booked.

After a French star went down injured in their first game, it was a chance for his brother to step up and play in his honour.

Theo, who plays for Italian champions AC Milan, has an outstanding World Cup and has played every game for France on their run to the final and continued his fine form when he scored the opening goal in France’s 2-0 semi final win against Morocco. “I want to play in every match here because I want to bring the trophy back for him.” Theo said he contact Lucas every day and the French squad wish he was still with the team in Qatar. Theo has since started every game for France, except for the dead rubber against Tunisia in the group stages, and scored the opening goal in the semi-final victory over Morocco. Lucas was replaced by younger brother Theo who came on in the left back position, despite being a more attack-minded player than his brother and often seems more like a winger than a defender. Lucas was the starting left back for France in their opening game against Australia and went off early after suffering an ACL tear, while Theo began the game on the bench.
