Modric speaks of the most important game of the season
He didn't want to address the title celebrations of the weekend. The fact that city rival Atletico on Sunday (9 p.m., live! At game) allegedly does not want to ignore trellis. Luka Modric is fully in competition mode for the semi-final second leg in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Despite the 3: 4 at Manchester City last Tuesday, the royal is optimism. Modric reported "good mood" and "great pleasure" within the team. "We know that it is the most important game of the season," said the Croatian vice world champion at the press conference on Tuesday: "We also have to deliver the best game of our season."
spectators "bring into play from the start"
This should succeed with "belief, personality, aggressiveness". In addition, Modric wants to "bring the audience into play from the start". The big champions of the real squad is an "important aspect", but also not a guarantee of success. "We are aware that we have to do better in all areas of the game," said Modric with a view of the first leg.
Real had to make a "complete game" defensive and offensive. That, Modric is certain, is the "key" to get ahead. The mentality monsters from the Spanish capital will never lose the belief in a comeback anyway.
A significantly increasing shape curve has wing racers Rodrygo, which even hit twice in the 4-0 against Espanyol last Saturday. Modric sees the Brazilian as a kind of father figure, which made the Croats smile - Rodrygo's father was at a similar age. The good ratio is also transferred to the lawn - as the crazy outside of Luka Modric on Rodrygo showed 1: 3 against Chelsea.
"Rodrygo is a good boy and just really in a good mood. I am happy for him," said Modric: "He is very humble, with both feet on the floor. He has to continue." In the first leg, the 21-year-old (game note 3.5) was on the pitch for 70 minutes before Carlo Ancelotti replaced it with Eduardo Camavinga.
returnee Casemiro is supposed to "iron out errors"
In contrast, Casemiro, which is now available for Bernabeu, was painfully missing in Manchester. Its return means "without any doubt a lot for us," said Modric. The veteran is an "important piece of the puzzle for us", especially "when ironing out errors" he helps enormously. The role of coach Ancelotti, whom Modric calls one of the "biggest coaches in football history", should not be underestimated.
After the home appearances Reals against PSG or Chelsea, Manchester City will definitely run into Bernabeu with a good dose of respect.
