Luka Modic speaks plainly to Rafael Leao and also warns Inter's
Luka Modric spoke to Dazn ahead of the friendly against Leeds: “When I came to Casa Milan to sign the contract I immediately felt that this club is special. You can sense the aura of greatness that the club has: it has won 7 Champions Leagues, it is second only to Real Madrid. That speaks volumes. Everything here is at a very high level: the people who work for the club, the fans, the stadium…”.
“I can’t wait to play the derby, these are the most beautiful challenges to experience on the field. I often watched the matches between Milan and Inter Milan, I really enjoy playing this kind of match, and I can’t wait to do it with the Rossoneri jersey. Will I challenge my compatriot Sucic? Yes, we will see each other on the field. He has a great future ahead of him. He has already shown that he is a very good player, very talented, he did very well with both the national team and Dinamo Zagreb. Now I wish him the best. But not against us!”.
“At almost forty’years old I still have football dreams, and that is also why I came here. It’s a childhood dream. The picture of me as a child in AC Milan overalls is a great memory, it shows how popular the club was, especially in Croatia, at that time. I grew up watching your league and the Rossoneri were my favorite team in Italy. Zvonimir Boban used to play here, he was my idol as a child. Now I am here and, as I said, I want to win trophies with Milan”.
Explanation on Rafael Leao: “For me he is a world-class player and Milan is happy to have players of this caliber. I have played against him a few times, both at club and national level, and you can tell right away what kind of footballer he is. For me, I repeat, he is without a doubt a top player at world level”.
