He suffered Real Madrid in Vigo and Ancelotti He turned towards the bench. There it was Modricreserved for his double effort with Croatia during the national team break, but someone was needed to hold the game for the whites and in that, right now there is no one like Modric. Last year I was Krooshis regular partner for a long time in midfield, but now the Croatian is more alone in that role that young people still do not fully control.
Modric put on his shin guards before hitting a historical record. As soon as he stepped on the grass he became the oldest footballer who has ever played with the Real Madrid shirt, surpassing a myth like Pancho Puskas. The “little cannon” dressed in white for the last time when he was 39 years and 36 days old, and Modric is already ahead of him, who did it in Balaídos with 39 years and 40 days.
And he is not in the first team filling out calls or supporting from outside, quite the opposite. Play more than last season and his influence is evident, as could be seen when he became one of Real Madrid’s midfielders. The whites, who this Saturday played with their third kitgray in color and with a touch retrothey regained control and the first thing the Croatian did as soon as he entered the story was raise your head, see an uncheck of Vinicius and put a perfect ball for the Brazilian to advance his team and score his fifth goal of the course. Madrid needs Modric right now in the engine room and ID doesn’t matter of the midfielder, who has always said that he wants to be valued for what he offers and not for his age.
«Maximum respect for a man who is an example in every sense, as an athlete, as a player and as a person. It is a privilege that he is with us and I hope he stays for a long time. We admire your professionalism, his commitment and his leadership. It is a mirror in which young people who want to become soccer stars must look,” he said. Emilio Butragueñothe director of institutional relations. His opinion is that of the president, who is very clear that Modric will be in Madrid until he wants. He only had Puskas to become the most eternal, and he had long since left behind Paco Buyo (38 years and 63 days), Di Stéfano (37 and 328 days) and Gent (37 years and 212 days), other legends that appear in the “top 6” of this list of most veterans.
«It is a pleasure to train and work with Modric. He deserves everything he has won, he is a fantastic professional and a high-level man. A pass from him gave us the three points.”said of Luka Ancelotti that he reached 200 games in the League with Madrid with 143 victories.
