Ahead of tomorrow night’s Milan - Napoli clash at San Siro and the midfield duel between the two playmakers, Luka Modric and Stanislav Lobotka, Corriere dello Sport headlines this morning:
"The battle of brains."
The Croatian arrived this summer on a free transfer and immediately became the leader of Milan’s midfield. A constant starter in Serie A, the former Real Madrid player will surely be one of the key figures in tomorrow night’s match.
Facing him will be Lobotka, who has started another season as a central figure in Antonio Conte’s midfield. Passing accuracy, ball recoveries, and distance covered are his main strengths. The Slovak midfielder has never hidden that one of his idols is Luka Modric.
