We are so fucked when Modric retires the guy is literally irreplaceable. We keep stockpiling this young talent that's absolutely phenomenal but we still need his old ass to get off the bench and make it all work.
He is the greatest player to ever lace it up for Madrid. I know what I said. He's truly been the only one that's actually irreplaceable.
His work rate on both sides of the ball, creativity, the way he conducts the midfield, we've had some extremely talented players and a top 2 forward in the history of the game yet we not winning fucking anything in recent memory without Modric.
I'm gonna legitimately cry when he is gone.
Love him so much. Kroos too.
Isn't Arda Guler supposed to replace him? Even Modric told him to come to madrid.
kinda sucks he got injuries was very excited to see him playing.
Aparently he is supposed to come back in 10-15 days.
I think the creativity part is what sets Modric way apart from the young talent Real has. I see a lot of convos around the transition and the young core possibly being better in the future than Modric and Kroos, but forget that Kroos and Modric were offensive players with great vision, which doesn't come like that most of the time when you are 20+ years old already, at that stage you are a creative or you ain't and imo none of the young guys have that factor besides maybe Arda Guler. They might be world class b2b in the future, but what makes someone one top 10 usually is the creativity aspect.
I'd say. Cama also did go onto the field this time and change things. He brought the creativity and movement that was lacking.
