A 4-1 away victory over Alaves, Real Madrid swept away the haze of the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey. On the face of it, Benzema, who scored twice, Hazard who made a good pass, and Cross who sent out 2 assists, are even more important. However, everyone who has watched the game knows that Modric in this game is really too "handsome".
only sent out 1 assist and was replaced in the 77th minute. How amazing is Modric?
86 touches, 70 successful passes 66 times (94% success rate), 1 assist, 2 threatening passes, 3 steals, 3 interceptions, 10 successful confrontations, 6 successful passes, and 2 successful passes All succeeded. These are good enough! But what better reflects Modric's performance is his terrifying 7 long passes, all of which are successful.
Real Madrid was able to score the first goal with an away corner kick. "Thank you" Modric's pass. It was his wonderful outside instep passing that gave Benzema a single chance in the penalty area. Then , The French star made two consecutive shots and finally created a corner kick that broke the deadlock.
In addition, Modric fully demonstrated his vision and footwork in this game. The foreign teacher and the inner instep curve ball frequently sent out, constantly finding the opponent's defense line, Real Madrid constantly Create opportunities.
More importantly, Alaves strengthened the hardness in the second half of the game. To a certain extent, the kick was a bit dirty. It is in this case that Modric can still clearly "wash" the ball in the midfield, constantly breaking through the opponent's partial encirclement.
The 36-year-old Modric scored 8.2 points after the game, tied for second place with Benzema and Hazard (behind Kroos).
I believe that Zidane’s assistant David Betoni (Zinedine Zidane infected with the new crown, Betoni led the team) replaced Modric in advance. The goal is to secure the victory in advance.Let him rest. After all, it seems that Modric is still indispensable.
