This year's Real Madrid, after a brief twist and turn at the start of the season, soon began to grow against the trend, and while Barca were still struggling outside the Champions League zone, Real Madrid had once again returned to the top of the La Liga table, which perhaps belonged to Real Madrid in the first place. Perhaps influenced by Zidane's previous tactical system, Real Madrid did not rely on the offensive end to win the opportunity, and when Carlo Ancelotti took over, Real Madrid adopted a more aggressive offensive style of play. Sure enough, the Real Madrid players who originally focused on defense were obviously unable to adapt to this change, which also caused some chaos in the early part of the season, but soon the Real Madrid players found their own rhythm again, because the first to help Real Madrid stabilize the situation was still the players in the midfield position that the outside world often overlooked. The Real Madrid midfielder has a veteran named Luka Modric.
Can zidane's humerus vassals win the favor of An Shuai?
In the past zidane's reign, Modric is the most trusted player in the Real Madrid midfield, as long as there are Ramos, Benzema and Modric, Zidane always seems to be in control, of which Benzema is responsible for attacking Ramos and is responsible for defense, and Modric is the invisible soul of the whole team. Modric was not only an offensive and defensive converter in the Real Madrid tactical system during the Zidane era, but also a leader and organizer of the midfield. At the peak of his youth, Modric's footwork was extremely delicate, and he always made the fans who watched the game shine: football could still be played like this!
However, with the parachuting of Ancelotti to Real Madrid, Real Madrid purged a lot of veterans of the Zidane period, but Modric became the first person to renew his contract with Real Madrid, although due to his age restrictions, Real Madrid only renewed a short-term contract with him, but in the eyes of many industry insiders, Modric did a good enough job, otherwise according to the Bernabeu executives, for the veteran's almost harsh standards and requirements, others simply can not get Modric's treatment.
After completing the renewal of his contract with Real Madrid last season, Modric's contract with Real Madrid is about to expire again next summer, and Modric, who is already 36 years old, will face two choices, one is to continue to serve Real Madrid for one to two years after obtaining the "approval" of Real Madrid's senior management, or after the contract expires next summer, he can hang up his boots at the Bernabeu in a very decent way. Either way, it will prove that Modric has conquered Real Madrid's current spokesman Florentino and a number of other senior executives, including the current manager Carlo Ancelotti, with his own strength.
Modric has the Nerazzurri invitation in hand and is still willing to die for Real Madrid
According to the latest news, the Spanish authoritative media "Marca" exposed that Real Madrid has basically decided to renew his contract with Modric again, after the completion of this extension, Modric will be able to play for Real Madrid until 2023, when as long as Modric is willing, he will be eligible to retire at the Bernabeu. To know that Florentino's Real Madrid is a well-known cold-blooded giant, even C Ronaldo was abandoned miserably, and could not get the treatment of hanging boots at the Bernabeu, because in the eyes of the Real Madrid executives, it is in the best interests of the club to cash out the players at a high level, and for Modric, Inter did propose that as long as Modric or Real Madrid agreed, Inter was always willing to accept Modric at a high price, and after Inter said so, Real Madrid never seemed to be moved. He has been trying to continue Modric's professional life at Real Madrid, and has even planned to make Modric retire at Real Madrid to become a permanent Real Madrid player.
The reason why the author repeatedly emphasizes the matter of hanging up his boots at Real Madrid is mainly because it is too difficult for a professional player to hang up his boots and retire at Real Madrid. In the past, there are only a few players who can win this "award" in the history of the Real Madrid team, and Modric is about to achieve such a "great achievement" that is difficult for ordinary people to complete. What needs to be explained here is that there are two reasons for such a situation within Real Madrid, one of which is that Real Madrid believes that money is more important to the club than this player, and C Ronaldo's departure is a typical case. Therefore, in the eyes of the Real Madrid executives, they will reject the players from the bottom of their hearts to retire in the team, and it is their routine operation to cash out at a high level. On the other hand, Real Madrid often choose to dump players in the stage of rapid decline in the status of players in the late stage of their careers, even if they can't sell it, they are not willing to waste their salaries, and Ramos, who joined Paris as a free agent before the start of the season, actually belongs to this category of situations.
Other players were used or abandoned by Real Madrid, and Modric conquered Real Madrid
On the other hand, Modric, in the last season, Real Madrid only agreed to sign a short-term contract with him, which was a two-handed preparation, if Modric's state can continue, he will renew his contract again, otherwise it will stop the loss in time, and Modric faced Real Madrid so operated, at that time, under the pursuit of Inter and other teams, he still chose a short-term extension. Many people felt unworthy for Modric at that time. However, we now know that Modric had no intention of letting Real Madrid sweep himself out of the country at the end of his career, and he wanted to use his strength to completely conquer florentino and other businessmen. Not only to make these so-called Real Madrid executives accept the fact that they hang up their boots at Real Madrid in the future, but also to be willing and even grateful to him. It's not easy to get there, and this season Modric has to come up with something.
Just recently in the Group Stage of the Champions League, Real Madrid suffered from Inter sniping in the final stage of the group stage, on the one hand, he was determined to stay in the team that retired, on the other hand, he had the nerazzurri who knew himself, and as a result, Modric helped Real Madrid win the game with zero goals and zero assists, and he himself won the best of the game. After the match, UEFA's technical department almost unabashedly praised Modric, who said: The game was completely controlled by the midfielders! In this game, the Magic Flute did not score goals and assists, but received 7 successful long passes, 4 successful dribbling, 13 ground confrontations, and helped his teammates install a stabilizer and inject propellant in real Madrid's midfield. Especially when the clash between the two teams of players is about to erupt, it is Modric who stands up, not only to maintain the dignity of both teams, but also to protect his teammates, with which both Inter fans and Bernabeu fans at home should give him the warmest applause.
Although the years are constantly changing, that magic flute is always worth looking forward to!
After this crucial Champions League group stage, the outside world had to admit once and for all that no matter how old Modric was, he always seemed to be the most reliable and trusted player on the field, not only the fans trusted him, but even the current manager had great trust in him. It is said that the proposal for a further renewal of The contract between Modric and Real Madrid was initially proposed by Carlo Ancelotti himself. An Shuai also admitted in his heart that he really did not want to lose such a midfield master, a warrior who could always create miracles in the next second.
Many people may not remember that when Merró's two world-class gods formed a monopoly on the Ballon d'Or and Mr. World in turn, it was Modric who broke their monopoly, and in 2018, he took the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or International Individual Awards into his arms, realizing his personal honor in that year's Grand Slam, compared to this desperate battle between Messi and Levan, neither of them could come up with an overwhelming comparison, that year's Modric let the opponent lose convincingly. As a midfielder, to be able to win the Ballon d'Or and the world footballer's honor that only the striker seems to be eligible for, how strong and powerful Modric should have been at that time can be imagined. Will there be more exciting stories between Modric and the Bernabeu in the future? Next summer everything will be revealed.
