Missing the Champions League, joining at the age of 40? Romano reveals that someone has dissuaded Modric to join Milan

Fabrizio Romano said on his YouTube channel about Modric's decision to join Milan: "Although people who know Modric advised him to consider carefully - to join a team without the Champions League and in the period of reconstruction at the age of 40, he still chose the Ross and Blacks with a rare loyalty in today's football. He not only contributed his performance with all his might, but also took the initiative to help his teammates understand the historical weight of the club and the goals that can be pursued under the leadership of Allegri this season."

Milan's mission was achieved last night! He defeated Bologna 1-0 at home, continuing the good form of defeating Lecce before the national team match day. The most critical figure in the game is still the 40-year-old Croatian legend Modric - he led the Ross and Blacks to score a key three-pointer. The only worrying thing is that Menion and Pavlovic have successively left the field due to muscle injuries, and the specific results will be evaluated in the next few hours.

The Evening Post wrote on the front page this morning: "This is Modric's Milan, and it is also Allegri's Milan!" The article highly praised the Croatian king for not only scoring the first goal of Milan's career, but also showing outstanding midfield control. Everyone who thought he was here to "super retirement" was conquered by his performance - at the age of forty, he still longed to decide on the game. That goal came entirely from his personal ability: starting the midfield, entering the penalty area with a forward penetration, and accurately pushing and shooting with his right foot. After the last round of the final score in Lecce, Milan has remained innocent again. Allegri's tactical philosophy is emerging: the team becomes stable, compact and balanced. The team that was loose in defense a year ago and left huge space for the opponent has become a thing of the past.

The classic "Alegri Jacket Show" also appeared at the end of the game: because VAR canceled a clear penalty for Milan, the coach was sent off with a red card for protesting the penalty. Although he left the scene angrily, he smiled when facing the camera - his Milan really started to start.
