In my previous two segments of this article, I've discussed about the youngsters and Goalkeepers.Now moving on to our next segment.
Under Rafa the case is not the same, he uses experienced and youth players correctly. Rafa has some of the best midfielders in the world at his disposal.
Luka Modric, Undoubtedly the best Center Attacking Midfielder in the world at present. He can play anywhere in the Midfield, he does a decent job even as a Defensive Midfielder if the team requires despite of not having very good physique. His Deep lying Playmaking skills are just too good. He can intercept, he can Tackle, he can provide through balls, he can Assist the Assister, he can assist the Goal Scorer, he can take corners, and he can just not only score goals but can score absolute blinders. His long rangers are very memorable, especially the one against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the second leg of Round of 16 of UEFA Champions League.
When he came on as substitute in second half, Real Madrid were a goal down then Modric scores a goal from outside of the box and changes the complexion of the game, from there on Real Madrid goes on to win the match.
Watch his performance against Manchester United in the above video.
Remember, that season he was transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid and was voted as the worst transfer of the La Liga season by Madrid based media house 'Marca' readers. He went on to prove everyone wrong and cemented his place in Real Madrid's starting lineup. He played an even important role under Carlo Ancelotti, he was the catalyst and was the engine of Real Madrid. He is irreplaceable.
Here are some of Luka's Magical skills.
Stay tuned for the next segment of this article.
Midfield:
Real Madrid have plenty of options to choose from in this department. Last season Carlo Ancelotti was at helm, he preferred a midfield trio of James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos And Luka Modric in a 4-3-3 formation. But due to lack of trust of Carlo Ancelotti on the players like Isco, Asier Illiaramendi and Lucas Silva, the trio started all the matches which caused fatigue and tiredness. Ultimately it resulted as injuries to Luka Modric and James Rodriguez, Luka Modric especially, he was out for the major part of the season. Isco was the first substitute in the midfield, as a result they had problem in the creativity department of the midfield due to Luka Modric's absence. Isco couldn't do Modric's job properly, which was probably the reason for Real Madrid's failure in the second half of the season.Under Rafa the case is not the same, he uses experienced and youth players correctly. Rafa has some of the best midfielders in the world at his disposal.
