How GOOD Was PRIME Luka Modric?!

Hello mate i really want to edit your videos at high quality.

Who do you think is the greatest midfielder of all time?

Luka Modric is one of the greatest midfielders of his generation and at the age of 38, he has shown no signs of his age. He is definitely in the same tier as the likes of Xavi Iniesta and Zidane. Getting to where he is today, he’s had to overcome a lot of challenges because he had a difficult childhood, during his time at Tottenham, there were doubts as to whether or not he could handle the physicality and demanding nature of the premier league and many football fans have known this for a while now, in his debut season at Real Madrid he was voted as the worst La Liga signing. That’s right he was seen as a massive flop and at the age of 27, he hadn’t won a major trophy in the top 5 leagues in Europe, and 11 years later at Real Madrid he has accumulated 26 trophies he has won everything there is to win at club level, he’s a 6time champions league winner and he’s also won a Ballon Dor even if it was very contending. Hey, he went from worst signing of the season to being a Ballon Dor winner and what he’s done with the Croatia national team has been nothing short of exceptional as given the population of the country, he took them to a World Cup final in 2018 where he was the best player in the tournament and has taken them very far in a lot of major tournaments while also having good teammates around him.

He’s very impressive when it comes to his technical ability vision composure passing and has an incredible work rate without the ball. Modric is so well rounded in a sense that from an attacking perspective he’s able to pick out passes out of nowhere and can do a trivela pass from his own half while also tracking back to cover ground and this was a notable aspect of his game when he was in his prime. He is absolutely in the conversation when we wanna talk about “who’s the greatest midfielder of all time”, but for me, I think that Xavi and Iniesta are slightly better than Modric. In this debate there’s been a bit of recency bias and people consistently use the longevity argument, I get it Modric has gotten better in his 30s and has played some of the best football of his career in recent years, since Xavi and Iniesta retired at the age of 34, many people have forgotten that they both had an edge over him for a long period of time and when they were all playing, he wasn’t on the same level as them, that’s for a different conversation. Anyways he’s one of a kind and he could potentially spend another season at Real Madrid and with him unlikely to ever play in a major tournament for Croatia ever again, I advise people to enjoy every moment of Modric’s last piece of magic.

He's up there with Xavi and Iniesta 🎉

That is a shit take, he has been elite since 2013-14
