Luka Modric, a midfielder for Real Madrid, said that having to substitute in most of his team’s games this season “is a new situation” that he accepts but finds unpleasant.

“For me, this is a novel circumstance. It’s true that I don’t play as much or as often as I would like to. I don’t want holidays; I want to play all the time. I feel better and can prepare for the games better this way,” Modric remarked during the press conference. announcement from Croatia, before the conflict with Turkey.

“I want to play every three days if necessary, but there might be some benefits to this arrangement in the long run. The Croatian skipper believes, “This is a normal, natural process, and I accept it. I have to mentally prepare myself and move forward.” “I feel good physically and motivated, I feel good, full of energy; otherwise I would hardly be able to lead Croatia as captain .”

The Turkish player Arda Guler, a colleague of Real Madrid’s who has yet to make his official debut for the white squad due to injury, was lauded by the player.

Guler is a wonderful youngster with remarkable ability. When questioned by the Turkish media, Modric responded, “It is unfortunate that he has not yet had the chance to show it in front of the Real Madrid supporters due to an injury.”

He praised the Turkish player, drawing comparisons to Modric, saying, “He has a brilliant career ahead of him and will bring a lot of happiness to Real Madrid fans.” He shouldn’t be put under pressure or made to feel inferior to anyone; instead, he should be free to be Arda Guller. Not me either.”
