Real Madrid News latest real madrid news
Modric showed against Chelsea that age does not pass for him. He was named man of the match, but left the Bernabeu with a standing ovation.
It is difficult to explain. He is 36 years old, and at his age, the vast majority of footballers are close to retiring. In fact, some like Iniesta and Pirlo were already in the minor leagues like Japan and the United States.
However, he not only continues to perform at the highest level at Real Madrid, but also gives lessons in the game in every game he steps onto the pitch. Unbelievable what his physical performance against Chelsea was.
He played 120 minutes, gave Rodrygo a vital assist, but in addition to this, in the last moments he continued to run tirelessly, much more than the young Chelsea players.
At this level, even body coach Antonio Pintus is amazed at Modric’s physique despite his almost 37-year-olds. Without a doubt, the Italian physical coach finds it difficult to understand how this is possible.
He plays almost everything with Real Madrid, but also with his country’s national team, and does not “get tired”. Pintus is quite surprised because, according to what we have been able to discover on the Defensa Central Network, he admits “I’ve never seen anything in my life like the physique that this veteran player has, it’s amazing”
This recognition was given not only to Ancelotti, but also to Florentino himself. Which is that he only speaks good words about a player who is an example of commitment, effort and work.
Some awesome stats
If you think of a veteran player, you think of a locker room guy, who is responsible for educating the juniors, giving advice and forming a group. But in Modric’s case we are talking about a captain on the field, and if not, you just have to look at his stats.
He’s not just another player, but he’s crucial. During this season, he has already scored 3 goals and distributed 9 assists, equaling in goal assists with his best number with Real Madrid, since the 2013-14 season.
