The hype of Serie A remains weak. Modric arrival and participation of Serie-A clubs in the Club World Cup won't make the Italian league as attractive as in the past. While playing in Serie A used to be a goal for players, that's now gone. Serie-A is not their dream destination, but they are prefer in La Liga and Premier League.
As for Milan, I'm optimistic they can compete for the title next season. While preseason isn't a guarantee of continued good form, I think Milan has a chance with their current form if they can maintain their consistency.
exactly, it's not the old Milan where all the players aspired to play but we are still talking about Milan and the players know this, Modric is gone at the end of his career but they have to be satisfied with taking his experience and using it when they need it most
