The Croatian midfielder has changed his training sessions in an attempt to maintain his level of form at 35. The new lifestyle has been key to rediscovering his best form at Real Madrid.
Luka Modric is one of those footballers who is always frank and honest, and a few days ago he showed it again. “I want to publicly thank coach Zlatko Dalic for allowing me to stay in Madrid to do the preseason here with the club. For a player my age it is extremely important to have a good preseason, because if not, you spend the whole year out of tune“Modric said.
The former Tottenham Hotspur player speaks transparently, commenting on his conversation with his national coach in a meeting with journalists. But it is only the tip of the iceberg, because behind his brilliant displays in the famous white jersey, there is a secret in his rigid preparation.
Modric enjoying his twilight years at the top
In Madrid’s recent 2-0 win over Levante he stood out, with a passing accuracy close to 89% (48 in total) and 16 dribbles completed. This continued high level in its twilight years comes down to two fundamental factors. The first, his head. He feels young and confesses: “I know my age, but I feel good and while I am I want to continue at Madrid.”
The second factor is physical. He has changed his way of life and his training routine. So much so that in September, as he recognized, he asked not to go with the Croatian national team to stay in Madrid and do preseason with Zinedine Zidane’s squad.
A careful diet, a good rest and recovery and the mentality of a child in each training are some of the essential factors that have taken Modric to the highest heights. Only one of the last 13 games has been lost, the last game of last season against Leganés.
The most experienced in Madrid’s engine room department, he has started three of the four league games so far this season. and in the other, he entered the break to boost the whites in the comeback against Real Betis. Exceptional forward of the ball, however he has not been able to find the net since January 8, 2020, in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup against Valencia. The zadar will be looking to add a pair of goals to his game as Madrid look ahead to their Champions League campaign and aim to retain the LaLiga title.
