Milan "littles his elders" 39-year-old Magic Flute, 1 assists and 4 key passes to the whole game and interprets the legend of immortality!

When Modric, 39, ignited San Siro with a scalpel-like free kick assist, all the voices questioning the "retirement transfer" disappeared. This Golden Globe, who is about to turn 40 next month, proves with a textbook performance that the true legend never bows to his age. The dominance behind the data

Modric's report card handed over this game is perfect:

Passage coverage: 59 passes in the game have a success rate of 91.5%, 5 long passes are accurate, and the hot zone map covers 90% of the stadium;

Key passes: 4 times tore through the defense, creating the most offensive opportunities in the game;

Record moment: Free kick assisted Chik in the 65th minute to score, becoming the oldest assist player in Serie A since the 2004-05 season.

This set of data is amazing in the 25-year-old midfielder, not to mention a veteran who is about to enter his forties.

The secret to immortality: scientific training + tactical wisdom

Milan coach Allegri revealed that the physical strength of the Magic Flute lies in "precise load management":

Customized plan: 3 hours of special training every day, focusing on strengthening the stability of core muscle groups and joints;

Tactical positioning: As a midfield metronome, reduce sprints, and control the rhythm more through experience and vision;

Psychological adjustment: form a team with young players to "pass and dock" to maintain the concentration of the game.

This scientific management allowed him to contribute 1 goal and 1 assist in the three official games (2 starts and 1 substitute) after joining Milan, and his efficiency was far exceeding that of players of the same age.

Controversy and Value: Veteran's Football Philosophy

Although some people questioned that "old players squeeze out youth training resources", Magic Flute responded with actions:

Downtown room role: Actively guide young midfielders Tomori and Bennaser to improve the team's tactical execution;

Business Value: After joining Milan, the number of social media interactions increased by 200%, driving brand sponsorship revenue;

Competitive Value: Resolve the opponent's 7 quick counterattacks against Lecce to reduce defensive pressure.

As Milan Sports Daily commented: "He is not only a player, but also a bridge connecting the flow of technology and defensive counterattacks."

Modric has made it clear: "My goal is to participate in the 2026 World Cup and help Milan regain the Champions League." For this legend, age is not the end, but the starting point of a new challenge.

When he is still setting records at the age of 40, the age bias in the football world may be time to revisit.
