    How come people forgot how good Carlo Ancelotti was at Milan Midfield? It's really amazing how people don't mention him... He was almost as good as Kroos. Some players are indeed underrated because they been playing in a full of legends era.

    Everyone is talking about how he chose Modric despite only working two years with him, but did anyone else notice he almost chose Thiago? He only worked a year and a few months with him. He also must see Thiago as a really good player too then.
