After Milan secured a 2-1 home win against Napoli, former Milan player Panucci spoke about the match and praised both Christian Pulišić and Luka Modrić in an interview with camel.live.
When talking about Pulišić, Panucci said: “He is a player who has performed brilliantly for Milan over the past two years, and he possesses excellent abilities in the final 30 meters. Regarding the substitution adjustment after Pervis Estupiñán was sent off with a red card? Massimiliano Allegri sacrificed Pulišić, as he was not in the best physical condition. This substitution is understandable.”
Turning to Modrić, Panucci stated: “His football intelligence is incredible. When playing in Italy, he acts like he has a cigarette in his mouth—so relaxed and effortless. His football IQ is far beyond that of most players, and even at the age of 40, he can still play a decisive role.”
Finally, when discussing the match itself, Panucci commented: "These three points are extremely important, as they have lifted Milan to the top of the league standings and can boost the team’s confidence, making them believe they can compete until the very end. This is a crucial victory, even though the league is still long."
