For the Croatian first day of work in the Rossoneri sports center. Large smiles but also a face to face with the coach after the telephone exchanges of the past few days

“The Maestro Reporting for Duty”. The master – strictly with a capital – presents himself in service: Milan welcomed Milan to socially on social media to Luka Modric. First day in the Rossoneri Sports Center for the Croatian, after the three weeks ago jumping at the last moment. In the dense program of the day of 14 July – the day of his arrival in Milan for the medical examinations – in fact there was also a fast greeting to the team and coach in Carnago, but then there had been no time physically: Luka had a private flight to Zara and after signing at Casa Milan he went to the airport immediately. Now the holidays are over, the ideas that Luka has been clarified in the head yesterday at the press conference and the time has come to change in the locker room.

Smiles, many. And it could not be otherwise when Modric crossed the green gate. Of course, perhaps not an excessive amazement for someone who comes from the luxuries and organization of Valdebebas, but still the confirmation of a first -sized club. Milan certainly needs some restyling, but it remains a structure of absolute level. The most important moment was obviously the first face to face with Allegri, who showed off a 36 -teeth smile – and how to blame him – putting himself next to Luka in the legendary fireplace room. The two then entertained to speak a little, before the training started in the late afternoon. They had already dealt with telephone, but from now on you will need to look in the face to work at best. Above all question of tactics and position. Yesterday, during the presentation, Modric explained that the position in which he feels more comfortable is at the center of the median. As filtered up to this moment, Allegri would intend to place it more as a right midfielder – a check mezzal, it is clear -, but they are not ideas carved in the stone. The Croatian will alternate between the center -right and the central area in front of the defense, according to the needs and opponents. For the rest, the physical fitness is entirely. Luka worked first in the gym, supporting the usual athletic tests scheduled for all the new arrivals, and then went to the field together with the companions. Between Dublin against Leeds Saturday and London with Chelsea Sunday, his first minutes will arrive in the Rossoneri, pending the official debut with Bari in the Italian Cup of 17 August.
