“The winning army knows its valiant soldiers.”.. How nice it is that your main soldier is Luka Modric.. He is the player who, if owned by any technical director, would shout out loud, “Welcome to the battles.”
The above is a situation experienced by Italian Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach, hours before the decisive battle in France against Liverpool in the Champions League final.
Leader Attributes
Modric is undoubtedly a “leader without a badge” in the royal team, you can rely on him in the most difficult situations, and who forgets Real Madrid’s loss of his identity against Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the “Santiago Bernabeu”.
The team lost 3-0, 10 minutes before the final whistle, and the majority was stunned by the shock of the Blues and its achievement of a wonderful Rimontada, but with the calmness of the leader and the touch of the artist, the Croatian star made the goal of returning from nothing to his colleague Rodrigo Joyce.
“The ship of its captain, Luca, will not sink.” This was the situation in the majority of Real Madrid’s matches this season, as Modric, along with Toni Kroos and Casemiro, was the first power ring in the Real Madrid ranks, through which the royal controlled his confrontations against stronger and faster competitors.
It is enough just to point out that Real Madrid crossed the obstacles of Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City in order to reach the face of Liverpool.
Although Real Madrid’s defense was not at its best this season, Modric and his colleagues in the middle were always present at the big dates to curb any opponent.
Age is just a number
You might imagine a player close to completing his factor of 37 plays an influential role with a big club like Real Madrid, but only in a handful of games over the course of the season.
Here comes the surprise that the Croatian star has participated in 43 matches so far, and contributed to 15 goals in various tournaments.
You might think that Luca plays in his name in a large part of his matches with Real Madrid, because a player of this age will not be able to combine the defensive and offensive roles required in his position over the course of 90 minutes and sometimes 120 minutes.
At this point in particular, the astonishment comes from the state that Modric is experiencing this season.. He is roaming the field as a young man in his early twenties.. You may get tired of watching him run inside the green rectangle.
While the Croatian star refuses to rely on his name and value will forgive him anything if he decides not to return to the defense with the same strength as his offensive contributions.
Luca’s intelligence
Modric’s brilliance cannot be seen on the field and ignored on the outside, when his former teammate Sergio Ramos refused to renew for just one season, Luca was cheered on receiving the same offer a year ago.
Luca was smart .. aware that the bet is always on the field, and that his performance will allow him to renew for years, not one year, and here we are a few days away from Modric signing his new contract so that the elegant warrior continues in his favorite arena.
