Modrić’s debut became a record, Milan accepted an unexpected defeat

Yesterday Milan midfielder Luka Modrić made his debut in Serie A. At the time of the debut, the Croatian star was 39 years, 11 months, 14 days old — thus, Luka set a record as the oldest footballer to debut in Serie A. It is emphasized that behind these numbers lie great experience and on-field instinct and discipline.

However, Modrić’s debut turned out unsuccessful. The reason is that Milan at home lost to Cremonese — in the scoreline the visitors prevailed, while carelessness and shortcomings in the finishing phase cost the hosts dearly.

We remind that in the summer Modrić moved from Real to Milan as a free agent. It is explained that his arrival is aimed at adding experience in central ball control, setting the rhythm of play and decisive passes — now it is the turn to turn this potential into a result in the next rounds.
