"Modric might have come Serie A at the age of 39 and recently turned 40, but he continues to defy the logic of age. He has been nothing short of a revelation since he arrived at Milan, and he leads a lot of the stat categories for midfielders in the league. Massimiliano Allegri put him quite literally in the middle of his tactical set-up, as the deepest-lying midfielder in a 3-5-2 system."
"Would you have liked to play in a midfield with Modric and Rabiot? "Immediately. Even with one leg." Did you expect Modric to still be so effective? "First of all, I didn't expect him to go to Milan. I thought he'd retire after Madrid or return to Croatia, but instead... I was surprised by his arrival at Milan, and I'm very happy. You never lose quality... and he has great quality, so I'm not very surprised.""
Juraj Kucka is surprised that Luka Modric joined AC Milan and would love to play alongside him. Modric joined Serie A at 39 and recently turned 40 yet continues to defy age-related expectations. Modric has been a revelation at Milan and leads many statistical categories for midfielders in the league. Massimiliano Allegri positioned Modric as the deepest-lying midfielder in a 3-5-2, placing him centrally to control match tempo and affect both attacking and defensive phases. Modric's defensive reading of the game enhances his influence across phases and contributes to his effectiveness despite his age.
