No one doubts Modric's quality; he's one of the best midfielders in the world. However, his advancing age will significantly impact his performance and physical quality, so I believe his contribution is somewhat less than optimal.
There's no definitive proof for AC Milan, but I've seen the arrivals and departures of several players in their squad not make them stronger, so I'm a little pessimistic about AC Milan.
Do you think age weighs on him? In the Croatian national team they make him play the 90 minutes + injury time, and I mean, I don’t know what the vision of the Italian coaches is, specifically Milan’s now, quality is without a doubt one of the things that always stands out, sometimes it’s not the player who runs the most, but the most effective, for example Ronaldo the Brazilian, when he was with Ancelotti he told him that he had to run and he told him what did he want? For him to run or for him to score goals? That day he scored 2 goals, so it’s the quality with which they play and how they make the team play that matters.
Lecce will be hosting Ac Milan who lost their first game with a disappointing performance and they just secured the signature of Chelsea forward to boost their attacking options, still we can't be too certain that they'll be able to secure the 3pt. What are we going to expect from one of the over hyped club in the Serie A? Well, Ac Milan seem to be the favorite again in this encounter with the booking favoring them with a 1.79 odd against the host Lecce with 5.15 odd, it still doesn't mean Milan will dominate this game judging from how they struggled in their last game, for me I expect a better performance and a more comfortable win since they are the bigger team in this encounter and this 3pt they are fighting for is important at least they have a win in the first 2 games.
Many of us have faith in AC Milan, maybe it's because the influence of Luka Modric is there , but the team seems to have a lot of impetus to do things. I think Inter has already shown up until now that their level hasn't dropped , and now it's Milan's turn, I know the team has much better reinforcements , they have time, they must Prove it.
