Modric feels well at this age
I feel good and I’m enjoying what I’m doing. I’m working well and dedicating myself to football 100%. With the work and sacrifice that I do every day, the reward comes and that’s why I feel so good and I’m doing well. I hope to continue like this until the end of the season”, affirms the Croatian in statements.
Modric also analyzed the next league match for Ancelotti’s men. “The game against Villarreal will be very complicated, as was shown in the first round. We had a lot of problems and they were very good. An equally complicated game awaits us. It is a team that likes to have the ball, the possession, and we are going to have to be good in defense, try to take the ball from them and hurt them with it to win the game, which is the most important thing. The Croatian played six of the seven games that Madrid played in January, five of them as a starter. Ancelotti gave him rest in the first two Cup games, he did not travel to Alcoy and in Elche he came out to play 48 minutes of the final moments of regulation time and extra time
