Luka Modric and the role of substitute in Madrid “I don’t want to be left out, I just want to play”
Luka Modric (38 years old) is not getting used to his new role as a substitute at Real Madrid. The Croatia captain, focused on his national team, insists he wants to play and not be left out of the team on a regular basis.
“I don’t want to be left out. I just want to play, if necessary every three days, because I feel good physically,” Modric said.
The midfielder started Real Madrid’s last La Liga game against Osasuna and showed that he is still capable of carrying the midfield and leading his teammates. But Ancelotti, based on what he has shown so far, prefers more physical players such as Tchoauméni, Valverde, or Camavinga.
