This Monday, Luka Modric (39) was presented as a new AC Milan player. The Croatian took the opportunity to explain his choice: “I spent 13 years in the biggest club in the world, and today I joined a club which, in the past, was what Real Madrid is today. They lost it along the way. Milan must endeavor to find this level. It's up to me to do my best this year and take full advantage of it (…) We all remember Milan as one of the best world teams. You cannot be satisfied with a mediocre season or a simple qualification for the Champions League. As for my vision for Milan, you also have to stay humble: you have to work hard to bring the team back to its highest level. I am very competitive; I want to transmit this to the team. The minimum objective is to qualify for the Champions League, but Milan must fight to win titles. This is my goal, and it should be the same for all those who work in Milan. But you have to stay humble and have a solid team. ”
The 2018 Ballon d'Or plans to bring everything it can to Rossoneri. “My experience. I will work hard, I will give everything to try to reissue what I have done in other clubs. I have to do exactly what I did in other clubs, trying to help the best I can. I know that expectations are high, but I feel ready. I am a lot the series A because there are many Croatian players who evolve here, and we see that it is a competitive championship and who finds its level. Tactically, the teams are very organized. This is the difference with the Spanish championship. I have to adapt to this game mode here in Italy as soon as possible. ” Finally, a journalist asked him if it would be his last club before hanging up the crampons. “I don't know, it's too early to say. My goal is clearly to participate in the World Cup next year, but you must first qualify. But I don't project myself too far. The important thing is to live the present and do things well. I want to start this new adventure, prepare myself as best as possible to be at the level that this club requires. There will be time for the future. I have to focus on the present to give everything for Milan. ” The message has passed.
