"When Modric signed for Milan on a free transfer in the summer having left Real Madrid, the mania begun as fans and pundits realised the impact that he could have. Sure enough, in his first few months with the Rossoneri, he has become arguably their most important player. Nobody has more league minutes that the Croatian in the entire squad. Allegri placed him literally in the centre of his tactical plans as the deeper-lying midfielder in a three, and Modric repaid this faith with performances of quality and by setting standards for others to follow."
"It's true. I was a Milan fan because of my childhood hero: Zvonimir Boban, the Croatia captain who came close to winning the 1998 World Cup in France. Life always surprises you. Things happen you never thought possible. I was convinced I'd end my career at Real Madrid, but instead... But I've always thought this: if I ever had another team, it would be AC Milan. I'm here to win."
"At Milan, you always have to play to win, only to win. It's possible. But it'll take a long time. In football, you have to think game by game. If you start planning months ahead, you'll get lost. Love. Loving football, thinking about football, living for football. Football, along with family, is the most important thing I have. The secret is passio"
Luka Modric joined AC Milan on a free transfer from Real Madrid and quickly became the team's most important player, leading in league minutes. Massimiliano Allegri positioned Modric centrally as the deeper-lying midfielder in a three, and Modric delivered consistent, high-quality performances that set standards for teammates. Modric expresses a lifelong affinity for Milan inspired by Zvonimir Boban and states a clear objective of winning with the club. He emphasizes a match-by-match approach to title ambitions, warns against long-term planning distraction, and attributes his longevity to a deep love and passion for football and family.
