"Modric's assists should go into the museum to show, it's not football, it's art." ——Romano, a famous Italian journalist.
What kind of assist is it that makes the well-informed Romano so impressed? If you have seen Modric's instep biography this morning, you will know that no amount of praise can be exaggerated. At this moment, the protagonists are finally no longer Messi C Ronaldo, Benzer Malewan, Mbappe Halland, let us praise the magic flute together!
The midfield master of the Champions League three consecutive times, the well-deserved Mr. Ballon d'Or
Who in the world knows best about Modric's goodness? Real Madrid fans, the admiration of Romano, is a common occurrence for them.
The inspirational story of the magic flute is familiar to every Meringer: from childhood to the mountain to herd sheep to subsidize the family, after his father was killed, he was displaced, and football became his only way to escape the suffering of reality.
They knew even more that the man who had come out of the war, although he was not tall, thin, fast, and not handsome, but he had blond hair like Cruyff, but he was a classical artist on the green field.
Modric is not a striker, the club has only scored 70 goals so far, nor is it a purely offensive midfielder, with direct assists not as many as people think. But his skill, imagination, possession, passing, getting rid of, advancing; his stability, calmness, composure, strength, makes the magic flute so indispensable, as Zidane praised: "The heart is like water, this is his greatest contribution to Real Madrid, he drives the whole team with invisible strength." ”
In 2018, Modric finally reached the peak of his career: the club completed the three consecutive Champions League titles, and the national team reached the second place in the World Cup final, so it won the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or.
Some people may be upset that C Ronaldo did not win the award, but in C Ronaldo's peak years, the most delicate Modric in the ceremony three midfielders is the man behind him.
More rare than the outer foot assist is to kill back the bottom line back defense
Now Modric is 36 years old. At this age, unless you are Messi and C Ronaldo, it is difficult to make headlines in the media. But the magic flute did it, with a shocking assist.
Romano's rhetoric has perfectly described the beauty of the outer instep, and the president of the Croatian Football Association praised him for having the best outer instep technology in history, but this is not enough to fully explain the greatness of Modric.
The Magic Flute has provided assists in three consecutive Champions League knockout matches. In the second leg against Paris, he scored a straight kick and assisted Benzema's goal. In the first leg with Chelsea, his full moon curved knife cross was met by the galloping horse.'
3 assists, 3 different ways, but always works wonders. In this regard, C Ronaldo is far inferior to him, and the only people who can shine with him are Messi and De Bruyne, and the magic flute is further behind them and undertakes more tasks than them.
That's great enough, isn't it? Modric has done even better. At the age of 36, he played a full 120 minutes of racing and ran 13.72 kilometers, second only to Valverde in the team!
Until the 111th minute of extra time, he was able to reach the bottom line on the left, defend Pulisic, break the ball and release the ball, and there was no cramp, what kind of fighting spirit and spirit is this? As the post-match magic flute said: "Giving up is not an option!" ”
So, it wasn't Rodrigo or Benzema who was voted the best player of the game, but Luka Modric, let's praise the magic flute!
