"This summer, Luka Modric was brought to AC Milan to win. However, he was also, naturally, going to inspire; an added bonus. There are very few players in football right now who can inspire others, even some of the best players in the world. At least to the degree that Modric can. After all, the Croatian is a multiple-time Champions League winner, as well as winning everything there is to win in Spain."
"He also has a Ballon d'Or trophy sitting on his mantlepiece. Modric and Leao So, whilst the thoughts were that he could provide inspiration for the midfielders in the team, his role spreads further than that. In fact, Corriere della Sera write, via MilanPress, that he has taken the team under his wing, paying extra attention to Rafael Leao. In many ways, the Croatian is similar to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and the No.10 often watches Modric in action at Milanello in awe, almost."
"It was the same with Ibrahimovic, whom he admired massively. It is not a one-way street, though. Modric's words after the Fiorentina win said it all, he already believes that the Portuguese is one of the best in the world, but it is a case of maintaining that level. So, personally, he has set himself the challenge of turning him into a champion. It is not a relentless approach, though. Instead, Luka watches and advises where he can, not just with words, but with actions."
Luka Modric joined AC Milan to win while providing leadership and inspiration across the squad. He arrives with multiple Champions League titles, La Liga successes, and a Ballon d'Or. Modric has taken responsibility beyond midfield influence, focusing on mentoring Rafael Leao and offering close attention to his development. He is compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in terms of impact and presence, and he already regards Leao as one of the best, urging consistency. Modric uses a measured approach, combining observation, advice, and demonstrated behavior to push teammates toward higher standards and championship potential.
