Di Stefano comments on Modric’s ‘desire’ and personality at Milan: “A simple player”

Values are some of the most important things in football that often go under the radar. At AC Milan, though, Luka Modric is making an impression with his.

Someone like Modric does not get to this point in his career without people having a massive admiration for him. Of course, football does the talking, but when your ego or off-the-pitch acts also do some talking, it has a negative effect.

For Modric, as has been displayed regularly, there are a few things that stand out. Those, of course, being football and family. The midfielder has routinely spoken about a love for both sides of things and how they drive him forward.

Di Stefano’s view

There are other things to admire, though, and Peppe Di Stefano, a Sky journalist who knows the ins and outs of Milanello, has confirmed to Radio Rossonera that there is a lot to be impressed by at the training ground, as MilanNews relays.

“It’s not the pitch that surprises me, but his desire to celebrate a victory like he did against Napoli. We know what Luka is like, a tidy man with a tidy family and calm values. Modric isn’t a ‘father-master’ at Milanello; he’s humble, a simple player, available for every autograph and every greeting.”
