Fabio Pecchia, who was Rafa Benitez’s assistant manager at Real Madrid, was interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport in which he discussed Italian football, Real Madrid, and the Modric situation.

Are Juve the favorites to win the title again this year?

“The Bianconeri are stronger than before, but their rivals have also improved a lot, it will a great season for Italian football.”

Who was the leader of that Real Madrid team?

“They were all number one, but there are some leaders: Sergio Ramos is the Spanish icon and Cristiano is Cristiano. Modric is also precious, he always has the trust of his teammates.”

Speaking of Modric, he wanted to come to Inter in the Summer.

“Yes it’s a very good sign for Italian football. He is a reserved and shy person, but he always sets an example, that year when Kovacic had just arrived from Inter, Modric took him by the hand.”
