Luka Modric, a midfielder for Real Madrid, has acknowledged that he is not satisfied warming the bench for Los Blancos and that it was not what he had anticipated.
The 38-year-old Modric extended his contract this summer for an additional season, turning down a significant offer from Saudi Arabia. He continued to be a key midfielder for Carlo Ancelotti as the season came to a close.
Through four games, this season, it has been a different story. He has only been able to make one start in the first four games, though he has played in each tie for a total of 133 minutes. When he signed his new contract, Modric stated to Sportske Novosti (via Marca) that it wasn’t what he had anticipated.
Nobody is content when they aren’t playing. That feeling is particularly unusual to me given the beginning of my entire career. The coach, though, made his decision for his own reasons. That won’t cause me to sag or slow down. the reverse.
“I had the same urge to stay that they did. I only agreed to stay if they treated me like a competitive player and didn’t retain me on the team based only on my prior accomplishments. I signed because they assured me that nothing about my status would change.
Due to his acrid demeanor in the face of failure and his fervent work ethic, Modric has earned the moniker “vinegar.” He is undoubtedly trying to make life difficult for Carlo Ancelotti.
We’ll see how things go. If it turns out that I’m no longer essential in the future, I’ll consider about my options. Although I had attention from other clubs, Real Madrid has always been my top priority.
Modric is attempting to hold onto his spot in what is undoubtedly the world’s most talented group of midfielders. Dani Ceballos and Arda Guler are two examples of those who are on the outside looking in. Toni Kroos, another veteran, is vying for a spot in the starting lineup alongside Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurelien Tchouameni. Jude Bellingham is firmly established as the de facto top 10 in the world.
