Luka Modric is getting ever closer to 3,000 minutes this season. This means several things: he is increasingly close to the playing time he reached last year with Real Madrid, he is still a fully fit player who can make the difference, and Allegri completely trusts his quality as well as his leadership in midfield. It is precisely this last point that will need to stand out today in Verona, when the Diavolo face Hellas on matchday 33 of Serie A.
This morning, Corriere dello Sport dedicates an article to the Croatian champion, a true cornerstone of the Diavolo at this difficult stage of the season. The headline reflects this idea: "Milan hanging on Modric." The subheading reads: "Max never gives him up: everything goes through his feet." And the subheadline further reinforces the point: "Champions League spot and World Cup first, then he will decide what to do: the Croatian is Milan’s guarantee."
