Loftus-Cheek states Milan are ‘lucky’ to have Modric after Lecce: “Have to do even better”

AC Milan were on the right side of luck against Lecce, even though it seemed like they may not be at one point.

A game where Milan had to iron out some worries, it seemed like it was going to be another long, grinding performance. When the Rossoneri went ahead twice before technology intervened, it only made that seem more likely.

However, a Ruben Loftus-Cheek header got them on their way to three points, with the goal actually standing this time. Then, substitute Christian Pulisic finished well to secure the three points, if they were not already.

Three huge points for the Diavolo as the international break awaits, and there can be a bit of relief around the Rossoneri.

Loftus-Cheek’s words

After his goal and strong performance, Loftus-Cheek spoke to DAZN, via MilanNews, about the result, his aims for the season and playing with Luka Modric.

Goal and victory…

“We’re very happy. It was important not to concede any goals, and we did it. We’ll have to do even better because we know our potential and quality.”

About Modric…

“He’s a champion, he has so much quality and we know it, but he’s also a super person, we’re lucky to have him on the team.”

Allegri asked you for many goals…

“I know, we hope to score a lot with Youssouf (Fofana), who has a lot of quality and physique. For me, the most important thing is to win as a team, and if the goals come, even better.”
