Im suprised he didnt expect this when he renewed his contract
Why is he acting like he's the one who's been playing when it's LaLiga, UEFA President and the refs who've been doing all the hard work and dirty work for them.
I like him and he's my idol but he should stop and get back in line to pretending they won everything without UEFA, Spanish Royals and Government
At his age and with all these young boys; Camavinga, Tchouameni, valverde, Bellingham, and there is Kroos.
He should have known he wasn’t going to play a lot of games. It is very obvious
Madrid needs to buy a new set of refs if they wish to get into semi-finals..Their clash with their refs is the reason why they got knocked out. .if they buy new ones, they can win and become the force the refs have made them to be again..Hala Madrid 🤓🤍💪
He‘s past his best since 4-5 years, just accept there are more deserving players starting.
Kroos>>>>Modric
Highly recommended for Kroos, Modric to be in a coaching staff of real madrid. If they both still play, players like the young ones like Guler, Paz would have limited playing time. Hope next summer of July 2024 they would not receive a contract renewal, or even loan. Then sign rodrigo cascante from Manchester city!!
he doesn't have the legs but when it comes to counter attacking modric is and probably will be one of the best next to ozil when it comes to counter attack ive seen modric break through the lines and make the impossible possible so if we can have 60 minutes of this lukita during the champions league run than it would all make sense why he is not being strained right now because when it comes down I know lukita will start
"Ohthat guy.."🤣🤣🤣🤣😎😎
Poor Acelotti. He has to sub one of his midfielders so that Modric can play 😢😢😢😢
After Real Madrid signed Jude Bellingham in the summer, I expected Luka Modric to have his playing time reduced and the reason for that has nothing to do with performance. I can understand why he would be frustrated with him not playing enough this season, he's been at Real Madrid for 12 years and has enjoyed a lot of success there and has been one of the go to guys at the club one of the first names on the team sheet and he started a lot of games last season, all of a sudden Carlo Ancelotti has benched him as he prefers Jude Bellingham Aurelien Tchouameni Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde over him and Toni Kroos plays more than him and he's been in and out of the side all season. He is 38 years old and this could possibly be his last ever season at the football club and he still believes he's good enough to contribute and be a starter, he just has to accept that he's a squad player and it's difficult, he could possibly go to MLS with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami since I don't see how his situation will change there if Carlo Ancelotti is now relying on the younger generation of players now.
He's trolling
At the start of the year in January, Carlo Ancelotti said that Luka Modric and Toni Kroos have to accept that they're gonna play less and when he signed that 1 year contract in June and they signed Jude Bellingham, I'm pretty sure Modric knew that he wasn't gonna be a starter this season the player is shocked and frustrated, at least he's remained professional about his situation unlike a certain egotistical stat pad merchant in Saudi Arabia who thinks he's still him and is all that, you know who I'm talking about. Real Madrid are in a period of transition in their midfield, Kroos and Modric 33 and 38 respectively, Jude Bellingham has come in and hit the ground running and the likes of Valverde Camavinga and Tchouameni have had bigger roles in the team now and are the future of the club as well, I don't blame Modric for not liking his bench role since he's been a starter for a long time and has had a decade of greatness at this football club and I think it's his last season as a Real Madrid player and both of them have to accept the transition.
Not much more to proof…I honestly see his exit this summer, leave it for the younger ones now. Great legend and player though
Luka is THE PLAYER OF MY LIFE, but he is making a mistake here. He knows better than making a big issue with the press and wronging the team and dressing room. He is at home enough to get breakfast with Florentino and talk if he needs to, this comments and filtrations he is making recently are out of character and making madridistas suffer and get mad at him and his choices.
Two excellent points by Craig and Stevie.
Modric at 39 still has more quality than any midfielder not only real Madrid but in the world
I'm a big modric fan but he doesn't have to legs to do what he used to do, sad to say but real has a number of midfielder better than him
Jude has nothing to do with it, look at it this way Jude is taking up benzema spot in the line up
To a certain degree I kinda get what Modric is saying but Modric isn't going to get game time with the other midfielders available. I'm sure different clubs would have been open to signing him so I'm kinda surprised he didn't look for a new club if he just wanted more gametime.
Modric man, u have been there like 12years, been on top of the world, gain anything a player can possible imaging now that you are old just relax and enjoy the near of your career.
Luka is simple one the best Attacking midfielder of all times…
Luka thought he will play every day and stagnate the growth of our young players? Nah he's the boss but it's a new era Don Luka
