Milan: Modric shines with Croatia and celebrates 40th birthday at best

Luka Modric celebrates 40 years (September 9, 1985 date of birth). Age that usually means retirement for a professional footballer. Not for the 2018 Ballon d’Or 2018, just back from an outstanding game with the Croatia jersey in the match, valid for the qualification for the next World Cup, against Montenegro.

The newly acquired Rossoneri enchanted those present, confirming that he is still capable of making a difference in the match. Sumptuous plays and a very high pace for a man who has 40 springs on his shoulders.His vision of the game remained the same as ever, as did his determination on the field.

“He showed, once again, that the older he gets, the better he becomes. His way of playing is fabulous, quite unique. He leads our national team with so much ambition. He never gives up, he wants us to go and play the World Cup. This is our goal and also an’opportunity for something good to happen for all of us” the words of Dalic, Croatia coach about his leading man on the field.

All very good signals for coach Max Allegri who has already shown, with deeds, that he is betting a lot on the’former Real Madrid man. After commitments with his own national team, Luka Modric is expected to play in the Milan-Bologna league match, scheduled for Sunday night at the San Siro. The 40th birthday party will already be forgotten, the 2018 Ballon d’Or is interested in playing.
