Luka Modric is A DIFFERENT Breed of Midfielder

Luka Modric without a doubt is one of the best midfielders of our generation and even amongst all the greatest to have ever played the game. But at nearly 37 years old, Modric is doing something we’ve never really seen before from other all time greats like him. He is no doubt a special kind of talent, and I personally would place him among the top 5 greatest midfielders of all time - and some of you might not agree, but regardless, a vast majority of people would have Modric at the very least, within the top 10 of all time. He’s in elite company alongside names like Zinedine Zidane, Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Cruyff, and many more. But let’s look at the main aspects that really sets Luka Modric apart from all those household names and show why he is truly different and is in a class of his own.

Modric is the most complete midfielder of all time, the only midfielder who's 10/10 in attack 10/10 in defense 10/10 in dictation of the game who has thrived in every single system in the world and has all the arguments to even be called the best ever.

Modric story is the most inspiring out of any footballer he went from spending his childhood in a war torn country to playing at spurs and than getting his dream move to Real Madrid only to be voted flop of the year and after all of that he became a 5 time ucl winner, took his nation to their first ever wc final, and probably the biggest achievement of his career is winning a ballon d’or in the Messi/Ronaldo era.

[@brandonmiotke]

Honestly, Victor Moses has a more inspirational story. His parents were killed in a religious clash when he was only 11. His relatives scrounged up the money to send him to London, and he was an orphan in London till he got a foster family and made it in the prem. Yes, modric has had more success in football, but Victor Moses has overcome one of the hardest things to go through and still lived his dream.

[@abkyahia4142]

Something people should understand is that Modric plays for the team. He never goes for a dribble or a pass that is not needed, he makes a choice of the best option to take and without any hesitation takes action. Look at his workrate and chances on the ball, he can well catch attention with that unbelievable ball retention and skills but he's all about results before gameplay.. Few may understand but he is unarguably the best midfielder alongside Zidane, different breeds within these two

[@jotarokujo9587]

I can see Modric as an all time great and all because I’ve watched him play. But what makes Zidane so special? You seem like a guy that can explain. Statistics can’t put his play into words at all (G/A), and when i hear he carried France I can’t see how. He made contributions in dying moments, yes. Great dribbles and getting past two players at once. All I can find about him are highlights of plays that result in average (but certainly creative!) passes which lead to no goal. Very creative, but with seemingly no product. As a CAM he barely defended too. His positioning is nowhere close to Modric’s level, who can defend immediately after a turnover and create a dangerous chance in two touches when passed to. Zidane just seems like he forces the ball forward by receiving passes with insane ball control and skills to beat his markers.

[@jout738]

Yes football players point is to play for the team and make sure the team wins the game, when that is most important thing and coach likes it, when flexing goals, but lose next game and then be knocked-out of Champions League is not so good thing. So rather create easy chance for easy goals, than be selfish, that I want to try from here and that causes us lose the game, when we could have gpt easy goal by passing the ball, so thats why coach hopes the players want to win the game, instead flex off what they can do with the ball.

[@octaviocampos5294]

The difference between Modric and Xavi, Iniesta is that both are great at dribbling and passing, but only Modric is an excellent box to box midfielder. He always comes back to defend for his team, and this is unrelated but even on fifa he had the Engine trait

They know how to suffer and they’re humble enough to do so. Lord of big teams let their ego take over when the game becomes unbalanced and try to just play their game.

[@mrfinaltouch7731]

It's not just that he himself is such an incredible player, it's that he is inspiring others especially at real Madrid. Showing players like camavinga, tchouameni, ceballos, ... how to play for the badge at te front of the shirt, the passion, the energy, the quality, they will learn from him and become great midfielders themselves.

Being a barca fan I have my utmost respect for modric especially during his performance during the world cup he carried the team to the final there is no one will be able to replace him and real Madrid will feel the impact once he retires I'm just more than happy to ever witness this legend his passes and playing would just leave your mouth opened like how did he do it at the end of the day everything has to come to an end and just said that in few years i won't see him play

No Tattoos only scars ! Luka Modric

[@samiko2002]

oh god how much energy this player has. He never stops moving and annoying opponents on the field. This player plows the field length and breadth without getting tired. He plays for the team with exceptional silence and dedication. His passing, his sprints and his dribbling are excellent, it is sad that he is not given enough appreciation in the media or even among Real Madrid fans. All love to Modric ❤❤❤❤

[@siirmouad]

I will definitely put him in top three of all time. He is genius, not a lazy midfielder he fights for every ball. He can teach how to get the ball out of your zone with the other team is pressing. Watch the winning goal of the 2022 champions league. He is responsible of 50% of that goal. Getting rid of Robinson and that pass with his left foot to carvajal between Thiago and Fabiano. It is just wow

[@GuijaA47]

Agree with you 100% Modric is from another breed. He is not only very skillful with his feet, but also his vision of where his team mates are located. He is in my opinion, one of the best mid fielders of all time. Thanks for your video.

[@oralemu2318]

We need more videos like this. W video I think Modric is at top 5 as you said, he really is a different and superior in terms of longevity from all other midfielders.

[@jw5471]

I think it doesn't matter who's best or who won most prizes. We can all agree that all players talked about brought us many joy of watching the game. And to have such a great back story really makes you appreciate Luka as a person. Nice vid.

[@the_great_wose]

Luka Modric one of, if not footballs G.O.A.T MIDFIELDER in 10mins 40secs . Personally i'd place Zidane ahead of any midfielder any day but as you said MODRiC is built differently. I must add that your supporting points are all well rooted and undeniably spot on. True CRISTIANO should have won it ahead of him in 2018, still what a player. Without doubt the most complete midfielder to have played the game.

[@jibosnjak9840]

Luka deserved it because of his season and that fact that he did it all. Ronaldo is fantastic but he could not drag Portugal to a 2nd place finish, and Luka most certainly did. You only need to watch how hopeless we are when he’s not playing to know the truth.

The biggest robbery of all time would have been seeing Modric retire without a Ballon d'Or. Thankfully he won it. The most complete midfielder of all time. A wizard on the the ball and an engine off the ball. The day he retires will be a sad day for football, and not just Real Madrid.

What makes Modric different from the others is that he comes from a small insignificant country like Croatia, if he was from spain, england etc he would have been the GOAT no doubt, but when you dont have the royal blood you have to be 5times better to be recognised as the best, like Đoković in Tennis and similar….
