[Sport] Modric's umpteenth lesson

[#Steeven.™]

The Croatian played the 90 minutes in Granada and grew during the match until he ended up leaving another manual on how a midfielder works.In four months he will be 36 years old, but Modric is signing a season of one of the many twenty-somethings who accompanied him on the field yesterday. In fact, with one of them, Miguel Gutiérrez, he had a wonderful understanding to score the first goal of the game and put Real Madrid ahead on the scoreboard in the decisive match against Granada.

Modric's performance is being spectacular from start to finish. The Croatian's numbers leave no room for doubt. He has played 46 of Madrid's 50 games this season, 92 percent of the games. He is the outfield player who has played the most games for the Whites, only surpassed by Courtois. In addition, with yesterday's goal against Granada he has four goals in the league, his best record since he arrived at Real Madrid, for a total of five among all competitions. A goal with history because he is only 27 days away from equaling Santillana's record, who scored his last goal for Madrid in the league at 35 years and 273 days. Since then he has been the oldest white player to score. Luka has been close and he will have the next season to get over it.

Because Modric's season has allowed him to agree to renew him for another year. In a season in which everything pointed to the white '10' starting to take a step back and occupy a more secondary role, the reality is that he has been more of a protagonist than ever.

Keeps your stripes
Odegaard was returning to Real Madrid to take over from the Croatian, but Modric did not give the Norwegian a chance at the first change. Zidane did not hesitate to maintain the status of holder of the '10' and seat an Odegaard who would end up surrendering and requesting his departure from the team in January. Modric was Madrid's fittest centrompista and his level has barely dropped.

In addition, they have respected his injuries and he has only missed two games for this reason, as a result of a couple of minor injuries, a small muscle discomfort in December and a strained back last April. Modric has not encountered obstacles in this regard to maintain a level in such a way that at 35 years of age he remains indisputable in the white team.
