Atletico vs Real Madrid Spoke about his move to Real Madrid

For Py Laurence, mother of Lucas and Theo Hernandez, Saturday's Madrid derby certainly won't be just another game.

She will see it as the end of a long journey and insists that it isn't one her or her sons would have changed.

It all began as she was a single mother, looking after two children and taking them to training day after day at Rayo Majadahonda.

Both wanted to be footballers and she did all she could to help make sure that they made it to the elite level of the game.

"I couldn't ask for more," she said, clearly excited as her children, now men, watched on.

"[Zinedine] Zidane is very happy with Theo.

"I still can't believe his evolution, as two years ago he was on the bench.

"His dream was to get to where he is.

"He's very happy, he doesn't regret anything.

"I always give him advice, to work and fight.

"He still has room for improvement.

"I tell him that he has to give everything, he has to learn a lot, to fight and to be serious and responsible.

"He is a child and he needs the support of his mother and brother."

Laurence has always had time for her children and, as a very hands-on mother, she gives them advice not just on life, but football too.

"I always tell Lucas to be patient, that his moment will come," she said of her eldest son, who plays for Atletico.

"I talk to them a lot and give them advice when they don't play."

Now, with a much more important role in Simeone's side, Laurence knows that this advice to remain calm helped Lucas when he reached the first team and had few minutes.

On Saturday, he should start at left-back in the Madrid derby and his proud mother will be there to support him, just like she always has been.
