You are not selected for this issue of the Italian national team

I think through my performance in Milan, I have to strive to be in the national team every time because it is very important for an Italian player like me. I have to work hard to do well in Milan and keep making progress.

Now you can train with Modric

It is an honor. You can see that he is indeed different, and what he does looks simple, such as touching the ball with the outside of his foot is like a very common thing for him. He never makes mistakes in his position, although he doesn't run a lot on the field, which also shows that what is important is not running much, but knowing how to run well. By observing his work, you can learn a lot of decisive details, which can make a difference.

What does Coach Allegri require of you?

He asked us midfielders to know how to do all the work. First of all, you need to know how to defend, and then you must also know how to attack. Everyone has their own characteristics. I think I have the ability to do both.
