Speaking with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Albertini has compared Luka Modric to Andrea Pirlo.

“Modric has brought calm and serenity to the group. Only a great champion who plays in that role can get his teammates to perform better than expected. With Luka, everything is easier. Both for young players and newcomers.

“Is he like (Andrea) Pirlo? The comparison between the two holds true, and it’s no coincidence that they are two attacking midfielders who, over the course of their careers, have moved back to put their quality at the service of the team. Pirlo has changed football in that role, and now Milan has another champion in front of the defense.”
