Luka Modric is planning for something bigger now. Yes, I know; the player is almost 38 years old. But it seems that he does not want to retire now only.
For those who don’t know Luka Modric. He is a player from Real Madrid. His contract is now over, but his journey feels like it has just begun. Luka has played various matches with various people.
Some journeys were easy, and some were very tough. In this article, I will take you on a journey where you will see the real Luka Modric. Playing, falling, and then again getting back and giving his best.
You know, these things really fascinated me; I never realized that someone who is almost forty would think that he is not done yet.
You know, it is so weird and great to see some extraordinary players saying things that are so ordinary. It reminds us that there is always a journey behind it. We all start at something ordinary to become extraordinary.
Perhaps this is the reason behind his not giving up attitude. Luka has never considered himself to be extraordinary. So, the journey never ends.
His Toughest Match
The Luka Modric we see is not at all afraid and always rocking his matches, but the real Luka does fear certain players. You tell me, aren’t you afraid of certain people in your career field that you consider to be superior to you?
You do, right? Similarly, Luka is also someone who fears another player, and that is Iniesta. He had a couple of matches with him, and he says that it was a bit challenging every time.
The reason behind this fear or respect, whatever you say, is the different playing styles of these two extraordinary players.
However, he is grateful that he has been able to serve Real Madrid and win the trophy.
His Next Plan
The best thing that has happened is that Luka is trying to get another contract, and he is quite serious about it. So, what happened to Real Madrid? He quit. I mean, his contract with the team is no longer active.
Yes, you have heard it right. Players sign a contract with each team, and they can only play until the contract is active. Unlike other players, who are most likely to retire at this age, Luka has some other plans.
Wrapping Up
I know some people will still criticize him. But the cycle would never stop. Sports come with criticism, and you have to accept it.
It is okay to take breaks, just like Anna Lordqvist. She was heavily criticized for her deal with the Saudi Arabia team. It was harsh.
She ended up breaking off the contract. What do you think? Was it a good approach? I think it was. I mean, people have different ways of handling things, and they can do it however they want to.
Just advice, always support the players and their decisions. They put in a lot of effort.
