Luka Modric’s Arrival Boosts AC Milan’s Midfield Ambitions
The seasoned 39-year-old playmaker made a high-profile switch to the Italian giants on a free deal, capping off an illustrious 13 seasons at ريال مدريد filled with triumphs. As a Croatian legend, Modric is set to infuse the team with vital guidance, tactical acumen, and on-pitch mastery, especially crucial after AC Milan’s disappointing 2024-25 season that saw them miss out on European spots.
With new tactical minds like ex-manager Massimiliano Allegri joining the summer overhaul in the engine room, Christian Pulisic sees Modric’s integration as a game-changer for the squad. The American star, eager for a Champions League comeback, emphasizes how this six-time European Cup champion can elevate the entire group, drawing from recent examples like انتر Milan’s resurgence with veteran signings that propelled them to a top-four finish in 2024.
Pulisic on Modric: A Leader Who Delivers Consistency and Edge
In a recent chat with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pulisic lauded Modric’s impact, saying: “His wealth of knowledge and match-winning abilities are irreplaceable. I’ve admired his game from afar as a supporter and battled him on the field-stripping the ball from him is a real challenge. Beyond that, he’s a natural commander who’ll instill reliability and focus in AC Milan, making a difference both during games and in the locker room.”
This perspective underscores Modric’s role not just as a player but as a mentor, potentially mirroring the influence of icons like Zlatan Ibrahimović in past Milan revivals, where leadership translated to on-field success.
Rafael Leao’s Potential: Pulisic Calls for Recognition and Growth
Shifting focus to his fellow attacker, Pulisic defended Rafael Leao against skeptics, highlighting the Portuguese forward’s untapped prowess. He believes Leao, often overlooked, possesses the tools to evolve into a dominant force if given the right support.
Pulisic remarked: “It’s baffling why doubts linger about his abilities. We’re fully aware of what he brings, and moments like his explosive goal against ليفربول last weekend are no shock to us. In my view, he’s an elite-level star. The key for him, and the squad overall, is building steady form-that’s when he’ll truly shine and tip matches in our favor.”
To update with current context, Leao’s 2024-25 stats, including 12 goals and 10 assists in Serie A, already position him as a rising force, but Pulisic’s endorsement suggests that with Modric’s playmaking, Leao could hit new heights, akin to how wingers like Vinícius Júnior thrived alongside experienced midfielders at Real Madrid.
AC Milan’s Pre-Season Momentum and Pulisic’s Rising Form
As the team ramps up preparations, they’re slated to face Perth Glory from أستراليا in an upcoming exhibition match. Pulisic, who’s shown marked improvement and assurance since the prior campaign, is poised to play a key role, fueling optimism for a stronger push in domestic and continental competitions. This blend of fresh talent and proven winners could be the formula to restore AC Milan’s glory days.
