‘To win trophies’ – Modric’s mindset further confirmed when asked by Milan for wish

There are very few players in world football that have the trophy cabinet of Luka Modric. However, he is not done, especially not with AC Milan.

Yesterday, Modric celebrated his 40th birthday inside the walls of Milanello, surrounded by players that probably grew up watching him, partnered with those who have played against, and now with him.

A player like the Croatian is rare, in many ways. From a historical point, the midfielder will go down in history, given his extensive trophy cabinet, including the Ballon d’Or, naturally. Then, there is the fact of his elite mentality.

Modric Mentality

When the 40-year-old was asked how he came to Milan, he stated that he was given assurances about the team’s aims. After the first game, you may have worried whether they can be fulfilled. However, the season is long.

Modric remains hopeful that he can add to his cabinet with the Rossoneri, the club of his childhood, and he said as much yesterday when receiving his birthday cake, as MilanNews relayed.

“Thank you for the good wishes. It’s great to be here and celebrate my birthday with you. I only want one gift this year: to win trophies with the team. That’s all.”
