Ancelotti thanks the sky for this “gift of football”

The Real Madrid coach has woven praise at one of the last dinosaurs of the Blancos Vestiaire.

Luka Modric does not seem to suffer from the throes of time. At the age of 39, the Croatian midfielder continues to play a preponderant role in the successes of Real Madrid. As proof of this last achievement: a superb half-volley against Girona (2-0) this Sunday in Liga.

The opportunity for Carlo Ancelotti to once again greet the invaluable contribution of his captain at a press conference. For the Italian technician, who has already seen several executives leave the ship last summer, like Toni Kroos, the number 10 of the Merengue remains a centerpiece of his workforce.

“Real is lucky to have a legend like him”

“Luka must continue as long as he wishes. Modric is a gift for football. Everything he does, he does it very well. Real Madrid is lucky to have a legend like him ”said the Mister on Monday against the media on Monday, two days from the semi-final go to the king's cup against Real Sociedad.

Moreover,

an extension of the modric contract would be in the pipes. He would extend his lease for an additional season, as has been the case in recent years.
