Capello: Modric has extraordinary football intelligence and can always predict the trend of the game in advance

In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Italian coach Capello expressed his views on the upcoming Milan Derby and particularly praised Inter Milan's new defender Akanji.

Capello: "Akanji has shown a very high level, with rich experience and outstanding ability. In some respects, he can be said to be the 'Modric' of Inter Milan, although he has not yet fully realized his full potential. Will I re-sign him? For a 30-year-old player like him, I absolutely will . He can still play for another three years in a league like Italy. In this case, Inter should ask themselves: 'Can I find someone better than him on the market? '" His wisdom lies in the players who talk about "modern football" and "different styles". Adjust the team's playing style. Those who blindly copy the strategic system will eventually fail. Now, Milan lacks a barrier in the midfield, but he is not Rabiot, and Fofana also has a lot of progress in the goal. ..."

"Magic Flute has an extraordinary football IQ and can always predict the trend of the game in advance, so he can always take the lead. The pace of Italian football is relatively slow. When he receives the ball, he has already read the "entire book" and even closed it. The only hidden danger may be Inter Milan's large-scale transfer of the ball. "
