Modrić is exceptional by every measure

The scene in front of you took place yesterday in the match between Milan and Napoli, and you know how exceptional Luka Modrić is!

Modrić is defending in the penalty area, standing behind his teammate to protect the space between him and the defender.

But the most important thing here is Modrić’s positioning

. Look at how he’s standing.

Modrić has bent his knees and is leaning his head forward slightly.

This allows him to monitor the movement of the player with the ball

while also being able to move quickly in any direction. In the end,

Modrić anticipated the pass, moved, and intercepted the ball!

The surprise was that Modrić did this throughout the match and intercepted many balls in this way.

We are talking about a 40-year-old player, so how is this terrifying physical and mental form possible?

Barcelona Imagine with me that Modrić, at this age, is the best player in Serie A.

He made 300 accurate passes.

He was the player who passed the most in the opponent’s half with 169 passes.

He was the player who made the most passes to break the pressure lines with 46 passes.

He is the player who has recovered the ball for his team the most, with 31 recoveries.

He is the player who has intercepted passes the most, with 10 interceptions.

Sir, forget all that. What is this joy and passion, Modrić?

Don’t you realize that you have won the Ballon d’Or and six Champions Leagues?

There’s no boredom, no tedium, no saturation, by any logic!

Not even close to 40 years old.

We’re the ones who are 40 years old, son.

The word “exceptional” was coined for people like Modrić in the literal sense.
