The weekly magazine Sportweek dedicated an in-depth feature to Luka Modric, who also made a few comments about the derby, Milan's season and his future. Below are his words.
Modric on the derby
"It was a fantastic victory and I think it was our best performance of the season. We deserved these three points, which we really needed for our morale and confidence in our abilities as well. We are growing as a team and, if we manage to limit the dips in performance that occur during a season, we will have a chance to fight for the title, which remains our objective. We are putting the coach's ideas into practice better and better, we are heading in the right direction and our stadium drives us on: the Milan fans are incredible."
On choosing to stay with AC Milan, Modric said:
"I feel good and I still have the passion, ambition and energy. As long as I feel this way, I want to continue playing. At Milan, moreover, I am loved, at least as much as I still love football. I had no doubts this summer, after speaking with Amorim and the club: they wanted me to stay and I simply needed to feel wanted. Milan is my team and I want to help the younger players grow."
