Magic Flute s roar: Modric refuses to leave the team, is Real Madrid s midfield blood exchange plan blocked?

Real Madrid is going to have a blood change again. This time, the protagonist is Modric, who is about to turn 40, a midfielder who has led Croatia to create miracles and made great contributions to Real Madrid, seems to be facing the last dance of his career.

According to the Ass, Alonso plans to reorganize the midfield in the new season, and Modric's name is on the list of possible departures. But Magic Di himself did not want to leave, and he even hoped that Alonso could change the decision.

This makes people sigh: In the world of football, loyalty and merit often cannot match the cold logic of age and blood exchange. But should Modric really leave? Let's think about it from another perspective - perhaps Real Madrid's decision this time may not be a wise move.

Data will not lie: Magic Flute is still the top midfielder

Modric is 39 years old, but his performance is not like a retirement player at all. This season, his pass success rate has not decreased but increased, and his long pass accuracy is even higher than in the previous two seasons, and the number of steals on the defensive end has also been significantly improved. In the match against Mallorca, he participated in 136 actions in the game, almost everywhere.

In contrast, other Real Madrid midfielders suffered frequent injuries this season: Camavenga missed 33 games, Sebassus missed 15 games, Joan Améni missed 5 games, and Bellingham missed 4 games. The only one who attends all is this elderly veteran. Real Madrid is really willing to let go of such performance and stability? Risks of the

Revolving door strategy: Real Madrid may suffer its own consequences

Real Madrid's plan is to introduce a new midfielder and let Modric go, but this strategy has huge risks. First of all, the team's current midfield configuration is already thin, with only 6 pure midfielders (including Guerre, who played a temporary guest appearance). If Magic Flute leaves the team and the new players need time to adapt, Real Madrid is likely to fall into a midfield drought at the beginning of the new season.

Secondly, Alonso's tactics emphasize ball control and creativity, and Modric is precisely one of the players in the team who is best at controlling the rhythm. Letting him go is equivalent to actively giving up a mature tactical choice. You should know that last season, Real Madrid was able to survive until the end by relying on tenacious struggle, and Magic Flute's stable performance was indispensable.

Modric's final match: The test of the Club World Cup

Modric's contract was extended to July 30 so that he could participate in the Club World Cup. This event seems relaxed, but in fact it has a intensive schedule and frequent long-distance flights, which is a great test for physical fitness. The existence of Magic Flute can help the team adapt to Alonso's new tactics faster.

This may be his last dance - if he can prove himself again in this event, will Real Madrid reconsider his future? After all, the success of a team not only requires the motivation of young people, but also the wisdom and leadership of veterans.

Football should not only have cold data, but also the story of warmth and respect

Modric, which reminds people of the last season of Maldini in AC Milan, or Xavi's farewell to Barcelona - the departure of the meritorious veterans is often accompanied by controversy and reluctance. Of course, Real Madrid has the right to plan for the future, but the way of treating legends also reflects the structure of a club.

Perhaps, Alonso and Real Madrid management should think about it again: a blood change is necessary, but can Modric really become a bridge for the passport? Isn’t his experience, locker room influence, and even commercial value worth a contract extension?
