"Luka Modric is perhaps the first name on the team sheet for AC Milan at the moment, with the midfielder working overtime. As MilanNews write, the numbers that Modric is putting up at 40 show that age really is just a number. It really does appear that the Croatian is 'timeless' and it is no surprise that Massimiliano Allegri has placed a lot of faith in him."
"Allegri addressed this in his press conference on the eve of the Atalanta game, suggesting Modric is being smart with the distance he covers. Luka is very good at managing himself, and he's so good at playing in front of the defence that he runs well and makes it look like he's running a lot. He also plays wonderful football, so the more he plays, the better it is for everyone."
Luka Modrić is starting regularly for AC Milan at 40 and has made nine Serie A starts. Massimiliano Allegri views him as tireless and irreplaceable and relies heavily on his experience. Igli Tare signed him despite skepticism, and the move has proved successful for both club and player. Fixture congestion raises concerns over his workload, but Allegri observes that Modric manages his physical output intelligently. Modric excels at playing in front of the defense, covers distance efficiently while appearing to run a lot, and contributes high-quality passing and influence that benefits the whole team.
