However, after the start of the new season, fans found that the Galaxy Battleship, which has always advocated the "Giant Star Ring", seemed to have never "lost its word". This season, Real Madrid's starting lineup is still Modric, Benzema, Kroos and a few other "old guys", but although these "old guys" are older, they are no less sharp than that year, and quietly have led Real Madrid to the la Liga list again. #皇马 #

Time is silent, like a trickle, but the years will always leave an indelible mark on people. Looking back on the past decade, Real Madrid is undoubtedly the most successful club in European football, with successive Champions League trophies, which are enviable, and have also created an unprecedented "triple crown" since the restructuring of the Champions League. During this period, everyone paid more attention to Zidane's "metaphysics" and C Luo's "insoluble solution", but in addition, behind the success of Real Madrid, it seems that there is always a kind of thing that people cannot contain, as if a "magic sound" lingers in the body of the Galactic Battleship, helping it to continue to move forward and succeed again and again.

The person who gives Real Madrid this "magic sound" of divine power is the humble, low-key and pragmatic midfield master Luka Modric. #莫德里奇 #

The soccer character | the man who gave the "magic sound" to Luka Modric

Luka Modric was born in 1985 in a Croatian village called "Modric" to parents who worked in a nearby woolen factory. As the eldest son in the family, Modric's most common thing to do after birth was to herd sheep. At that time, although their family was poor, they also "enjoyed it", and the family was always full of laughter and laughter. But this happy life is always short-lived!

In 1991, at the age of 6, Modric underwent a major turning point in his life, the outbreak of the Yugoslav Civil War. The war quickly turned into racial vendetta and eventually swept through the peaceful town. On the morning of December 18, 1991, Modric's grandfather, Luka Modric Sr., took his cattle up the mountain to graze, just in time to encounter the defeated Serb armed forces, unfortunately shot dead.

To escape the disaster, Modric's parents took him out of the town of Modric and fled to the coastal city of Zadar, 40 kilometres away. Here, the Modric family settled in a refugee home converted from a motel, where he met the light of his life – football! In the refugee camp, Modric often played football with a group of children in the square in front of the hotel. In the time of playing football, not only did Modric temporarily forget the trauma of the war, but also let him get the happiness of a long absence.

In the darkness, perhaps the heavens brought Modric suffering at the same time, but also gave him a magical "magic". At the age of 8, Modric showed extraordinary football talent. The football was very "obedient" under his feet, and when he could play the football with his feet, the other children could not even touch the football under his feet.

Basicci, the head coach of Croatia's Zadar Football Club, once happened to see Modric playing football while passing by the motel square. He admired Modric's football talent and then brought him to a professional football team for formal training.

At that time, many people felt that Modric's body was too thin, a little weak and could not help the feeling of wind, and they thought that this child was not suitable for becoming a professional player. But Basic did not think much, he felt that Modric's thin body contained a different kind of football talent, and children with this talent could not be found and could not miss. Then The Brazilian Chili ruled out the crowd and let the club sign Modric, who was only ten years old, and developed as a key player.

Basic is undoubtedly the most important person in Modric's football career, he not only carefully adjusted the skills of the little Modric, but also became Modric's godfather, mentally soothing the trauma caused by the war to Modric. Under the tutelage of his godfather Basic, Modric grew rapidly, and at the age of 15, he joined the Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb and officially started his career.

At that time, Modric, who was an underage at the time, was difficult to have a place on the field due to poor physical confrontation, and in the first five years of the Dinamo Club zagreb, the club tried to give up Modric several times and constantly loaned him out. But Modric did not give up his football dreams, he took advantage of the opportunity of loan, constantly improving himself and accumulating on-field experience. Perhaps in fate, there is really such a "magic sound" that protects Modric.

When he was twenty years old, Dinamo Zagreb changed his manager, and the new manager saw Modric's huge growth and felt his talent, and then recalled Modric on loan, and gave a position as a main midfielder, and began to reuse Modric.

The turbulent refugee life as a child, coupled with the unstable loan years at the beginning of his career, made Modric cherish the trust of the club. In the following years, Modric gradually grew into the midfield core of Dinamo Club Zagreb, and Modric, who had experienced many years of ups and downs, gradually attracted the attention of some clubs in the five major european leagues under the protection of "Magic Sound".

In April 2008, Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur signed Modric to take him to White Hart Lane, where he will showcase his football talent on a larger Premier League stage.

The Pursuit of fierce confrontation and emphasis on the rapid transformation of attack and defense in the Premier League arena is the biggest test of Modric's life. Young Modric, no tough muscles, no super speed, many people at that time felt that Tottenham's money was wasted, they thought that with Modric's ability, they could not get a foothold in the Premier League.

But over time, Premier League fans have found that Modric, who is small in stature and not dominant in speed, can comb the Tottenham midfield in his own way. On offense, Modric was able to pass the ball to the feet of his most threatening teammates in time, and the thin Modric also had a powerful long-range shot. When defending, Modric can also run physically, accurately find the best defensive position, and use his thin body to defuse the opponent's dangerous attack.

Modric soon conquered Premier League fans. Many fans who have watched Premier League games for a long time cannot even believe that Modric, who has neither body nor speed, will show such a powerful ability in the Premier League, and they feel that Modric is like a "magic flute" that will make a "magic sound" to change the game. Because the pronunciation of the name is similar to the magic flute, and it has super ability, many people gradually like to call Modric "magic flute". #魔笛 #

The magic flute, which shined in the premier league, quickly attracted the attention of La Liga giants Real Madrid. At that time, Real Madrid was in a desperate shortage of a powerful midfielder. So he signed Modric in the summer of 2012, and since then, the magic flute has begun the "golden decade" at the Bernabeu. #皇马 #

The Bernabeu has the brightest light in the world of football and the most discerning fans. Debuting at Real Madrid, in the star-studded "Galaxy Battleship", the simple magic flute looks a little restrained and slightly shy. At that time, the magic flute gave people the impression of a thin body and large eyes that looked somewhat hollow and frightened. Many fans feel that the temperament of the magic flute cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of the core of real Madrid's midfield.

Time is the only test of truth. A flash of magic flute joined Real Madrid for nearly a decade. During this period, he wore the number ten suit and sat in the Real Madrid midfield, like a "senior engineer", providing security for the Galactico and protecting its sails. In the Real Madrid team, the magic flute does not have the temperament of Ramos, nor the domineering spirit of the president of Ronaldo, nor the mischievous mischief of Marcelo. However, magic flute has won the respect of everyone with its firm "engineer" spirit and excellent skills. Whether it is teammates, managers, or picky Real Madrid fans, they have not had a conflict with the magic flute in ten years.

On the stage of the Bernabeu, it is too difficult to be famous for a decade. As strong as Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Ramos, and even Zidane, he has been scolded by Real Madrid fans, but the magic flute is an exception, as if he can really make a "magic sound", and The Bernabeu fans have rarely attacked him for ten years.

In 2018, magic flute ushered in the peak of life. In addition to helping Real Madrid achieve great results, he also led the Croatian national team to a world cup third place. That year he won the World Cup Ballon d'Or, the European Ballon d'Or of the Year, and the World Footballer of the Year honour, the biggest tribute to a professional player.
