Modric, the “old-fashioned” engine that “never stops”, is still burning in La Liga.
September 15, the fifth round of the La Liga, Real Madrid away to challenge Real Sociedad. Staged a heated showdown. In this dramatic match, there is an old acquaintance has become the biggest focus.
He is Real Madrid’s midfield maestro Modric. The 39-year-old veteran made his debut in the match and played the whole game. This data not only created his personal record in the La Liga, but also broke the history of Real Madrid team history in the La Liga the oldest player.
“Modric proved his immortality once again.” Real Madrid fans have taken to social media to praise the veteran.” At 39 years old, he still maintains an amazing work ethic and professionalism, it’s amazing!”
In the history of La Liga, only 31 players have played at the age of 39 or older. Among them, there are football legends such as Puskás, Buyo and other superstars. Now, Modric becomes the 32nd player to join the senior club. His record is a testament to the harsh reality that time is unforgiving, but it is also a testament to the undying glory of great players.
Since joining Real Madrid in 2014, Modric has written countless wonderful chapters at the Bernabeu Stadium. He has helped the team to win four Champions League titles, three La Liga titles and many other honors. Even in his twilight years, the midfield master has not slowed down at all. On the contrary, he has maintained his extraordinary form and become an indispensable core force of Real Madrid.
This persistence and dedication has allowed the 39-year-old to maintain an enviable work ethic. His career has spanned 15 years, but he still maintains his outstanding form to this day. One has to wonder what it is that has sustained him through time and time again.
Modric’s tenacity and perseverance is undoubtedly an important support for him to be able to maintain the peak state for a long time. It is reported that he will strictly implement the personal training program every day, maintain a very professional diet and work habits. This kind of “hard training out of victory” professional ethics, is undoubtedly his ability to remain in such an advanced age is still the key to maintain excellent condition.
Perhaps Modric’s life is a reflection and validation of professional soccer. From the small player who was questioned when he entered Real Madrid to the indispensable core of the team today, his soccer life is undoubtedly an inspirational legend.
The 39-year-old midfield master, with his professional attitude and outstanding performance to tell us: as long as you have the tough will and professional execution, even at an advanced age can continue the brilliant soccer life. So what reason do we ordinary people have to give up pursuing our dreams?
Although his personal honors and achievements are already rich enough, Modric doesn’t seem to be satisfied with his current achievements. On the verge of his 40th birthday, he is still hungry and eager to lead Real Madrid to new glory.
It is understood that this season, Modric’s playing time and performance has been far more than the team’s other midfielders. His stable play and excellent ability to control the tempo, so that Real Madrid in the midfield end has always maintained a well-organized operation. The veteran’s ethics and professionalism have become a role model for the rest of the team.
“Modric is the flame that never goes out in the team.” Real Madrid fans commented, “We are touched by his professionalism and high sense of responsibility. Even at his age, he is still proving his worth.”
However, at this critical moment when his career is nearing its end, does Modric have other dreams? Are there other achievements waiting for him to accomplish?
We know that the midfield master once had a regret, that is not in the national team to lead Croatia to win a major tournament. In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, he led the Croatian team into the final, but ultimately lost to France.
Now that Modric is over thirty-nine years old, will he still have the chance to fulfill this unfinished dream in the remainder of his career? The Croatian national team is about to make its debut in next year’s UEFA Europa League, will he still have the opportunity to make a mark in this event?
This is certainly a prospect to look forward to. If Modric can lead Croatia to win the Euro next year, it will be the highest point of his career. By then, the life of this soccer legend will finally come to a successful conclusion.
For Real Madrid, Modric’s continued effectiveness is also extremely important. The midfielder not only plays a key role on the field, but his professionalism and sense of responsibility also influence other players in the team.
It can be said that as long as Modric is around, Real Madrid will have a fighting force that will never give up. His ethics and professionalism will surely be a role model for the younger players in the team.
When the veteran finally waved goodbye to the field, Real Madrid and the Croatian national team will undoubtedly lose a valuable asset. But we believe that as long as he is still fighting, he will continue to write legends in their respective fields.
