Ardon Jashari showed his true level against Manchester United, delivering an impressive performance in Milan’s final friendly before the start of the season.
The Swiss midfielder played with confidence, led the team with a high-intensity performance and also followed the pressing demands of the new tactical setup. After the match, Jashari spoke about his form, Milan’s progress and the possibility of playing alongside Luka Modrić.
Asked about his performance, Jashari said:
“I’m happy with my performance, but also with the win and the team’s performance. I think we’re on the right path and playing well as a group. We still have some details to improve because it’s going to be a long season.”
On the team’s new style:
“Every day we spend together, in training and in matches, we can improve. We know how the coach wants us to play, and although you obviously can’t implement everything overnight, we’re working hard to make it happen.”
Jashari also admitted he felt particularly good on the pitch against United:
“If the team plays well, then I can show my qualities on the pitch. I’m happy with my performance, but I know I can improve in some areas to reach my best form.”
And when asked about playing alongside Luka Modrić, Jashari was full of praise:
“Playing with Luka is fantastic. He is one of the best players in the world and sharing the pitch with him is incredible. We played 30 minutes together against Inter and I think we showed there that we can play alongside each other.”
Could Jashari and Modrić become Milan’s new midfield partnership? 👀🔴⚫️
