One AC Milan star has revealed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic told him off after picking up weight in the off-season.
Theo Hernandez has been one of Milan's standout players this season as the club aim to get back among Europe's elite.
Milan's revival has also coincided with the return of Ibraimovic last season, while the Swede has bagged 14 goals in 14 Serie A appearances this season.
Hernanzez reveals the 38-year-old questioned him about his weight after returning from pre-season.
"When I came back from vacation, he (Ibrahimovic) told me: ''Where are you going with 90 kilos here?'' I was a bit fatter...
"But he also told me that I am strong and that I have to become the best, but that I have to work hard.
"He gives us courage, gives us lots of advice and sometimes even scolds us - but always to motivate us.
"We follow him, and in training we give everything, always. All together. It has been an incredible year, we are having an incredible year. And the credit belongs to everyone."
