AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah expressed his excitement on Tuesday about facing Real Madrid's Croatian maestro, Luka Modric, in a friendly match set to take place in Chicago on Wednesday.
"It was great to play against him in LaLiga and it will be great to face him tomorrow. He's a fantastic player, definitely someone you have to learn from," said Musah during a press conference at Soldier Field.
The 21-year-old American midfielder, who has been making waves in European football, has been particularly impressive this season. His recent goal against the Panama national team further solidified his reputation as a rising star.
Growing up in New Jersey, Musah's admiration for European football, particularly the Spanish league, was evident. Having the opportunity to compete against players like Modric has been a dream come true for the young midfielder.
"I've always looked up to players like Modric. His vision, his technique, and his ability to control the tempo of a game are truly inspiring," Musah added.
The upcoming match against Real Madrid will be a significant test for Musah and his Milan teammates. Facing a team of such caliber will undoubtedly provide him with an opportunity to showcase his skills on a global stage.
As Musah continues to develop his game, his admiration for Modric serves as a constant source of motivation. The young American midfielder is eager to learn from the experienced Croatian and hopes to one day achieve the same level of success.
