The Merengues\u2019 victory at Bala\u00eddos is a key moment for those at Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, and the president is open to all possibilities. The recent 1-2 win against Celta may have impacted the White\u2019s future plans, particularly as they prepare for next season amidst turmoil, especially following Dani Carvajal\u2019s serious injury.<\/p>\n
David Alaba\u2019s situation is also concerning; his left knee injury, affecting the cartilage, has resulted in significant swelling and painful friction. The team is struggling in midfield early this season, especially after Toni Kroos\u2019s retirement, which has proven more disruptive than anticipated. Many believed Kroos would remain while Luka Modric would depart, but unexpectedly, Modric signed on for another year.<\/p>\n
According to Defensa Central, Modric, who played a limited role last year, is becoming increasingly important for Ancelotti. He has started five La Liga matches and come off the bench in the others. Against Celta, he played over twenty minutes and provided a crucial assist for Vinicius\u2019s winning goal. Additionally, he has recently played two matches for Croatia, where he continues to be a key leader for future generations.<\/p>\n
The decision for Madrid to keep Modric for another year seems reasonable, despite his age. Having just turned 39, he has surpassed Puskas as the oldest player to represent Madrid. Puskas set the record at 39 years and 38 days in May 1966, while Modric played in Saturday\u2019s match at 39 years and 40 days.<\/p>\n
His impressive and impactful performance in Vigo reinforces his value to the team, leading Florentino P\u00e9rez to consider all possibilities regarding Modric\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
