Neverending story of Luka & Real Madrid
Modric’s career is The Neverending Story. On the way to 38, when the vast majority of footballers begin to plan their last steps in football, he aspires -almost- more than ever: in the coming months he wants to raise the Nations and renew with Madrid . There is nothing. Because he feels strong enough to do so, with plenty of gasoline and a hunger to show that age is just a number. Ancelotti already said: “ If a player complies, he doesn’t care how old he is . Being 17 doesn’t make you a starter if you don’t deserve it… well, the same thing with 35 or 37. A coach’s job is to evaluate the day to day. […]Maldini won the Champions League at 39 and trained once a week. But he played; because if you are better than others, you must play”. He missed a thump on the table and a sip of water.
Renewal is upcoming
He feels strong and wants to renew. It was in the bowels of Anfield where he made public what was an open secret: “I feel good and I want to continue , but I have to talk to the club, find out what they think. I want to continue because I deserve it, not because they give it to me. They have never given me anything in my life and it will not be now”. This season he has 2,185 ‘ and is going from less to more. Because the player himself recognized that he made a mistake playing so suddenly after the World Cup: “I had to do a specific program and gradually come back. Qatar affected me a bit, but I’m feeling good now.” He is returning to chain titlesand to show the leg of its best version under the door.
