Good thing he is 40, because if he were five years younger he could have influenced and decided even more than he already does. When you talk about Luka Modric, you think of an absolute, timeless champion, because that is what he is. The proof is not in the fans’ words or those who benefit from having a player like him on the team, but in the numbers, which show that age, for the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner, is just a number and nothing more, as relayed via Milan News.
At 40, Modric will play his ninth Serie A match as a starter for Milan tonight. Massimiliano Allegri has found in him a fundamental player, tireless and irreplaceable. There was little doubt, but living in a country full of prejudices, many wondered if the Croatian could handle such intensity at his age.
So far, the former Real Madrid player has proven them right, along with Igli Tare, who decided to bet on him during the summer despite the skepticism surrounding a move that has so far been widely successful for both Milan and the player.
