Max Allegri urges Milan players to learn from incredible Modric

AC Milan manager Max Allegri lauded Luka Modric’s “humility” and character after the 40-year-old scored a late winner in a 2-1 victory over Pisa.

​Max Allegri hailed Luka Modric for his “character and incredible humility” following Milan’s narrow 2-1 win at Pisa.

The Croatian veteran became the third-oldest scorer in Serie A history, securing the points after Felipe Loyola had cancelled out Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s opener.

Allegri emphasized that his squad “should all learn” from the midfielder, whose late surge into the box maintained Milan’s 23-game unbeaten run.

​Despite the victory, Allegri warned his team against becoming “sluggish mentally” after nearly letting points slip against the relegation-threatened hosts.

The manager had to navigate a chaotic finish following Adrien Rabiot’s red card for dissent. Allegri noted that while technical quality is abundant, the team must improve, stating, “We take three points, but we really need to improve after this performance.”
