Luka Modric is a model of professionalism that never gets tire of success, as Casemiro reveal.
Former Real Madrid midfielder Carlos Casemiro has hail Croatian midfielder Luka Modric as an example of a professional player who never gets tire of success, a key part of the club’s identity.
Real Madrid’s European success has been unparalleled, with a record 15 Champions League titles to their name, largely due to the club’s signature comebacks and the attitude of the Los Blancos.
‘It’s important for everything, not just the stadium (Santiago Bernabéu), but the city. When you go into Madrid. You already know you’re going to the best team in the world and when you put on this shirt for the first time, you already know you belong there. You believe สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน because you see your dreams come true. The Bernabéu fans are the most demanding in the world. You’re leading and you’re winning games and they ask you to go forward and look for better things, not to look back. ‘
‘The key to everything is that Madrid is built to win. I don’t care if it’s 1-0 or 5-0, Madrid wants to win, win the next game, win and win again. Don’t talk about the previous victories, they make you used to winning. Madrid is built for that.
The main values and the highest demands of this club can be summ up in one word: victory,’ Casemiro said.
The Brazilian midfielder cited Modric as the best example to explain it, saying: ‘I will tell you something that until today I have not explained in any interview. We were in the dressing room after the Champions League game in Milan against Atlético, which we won on penalties. We were celebrating our 11th title and Luka Modric came up to us and told us, without changing his tone and in his strange Spanish. ‘
‘He said, ‘Guys, we have to win two more titles now’. We told him, ‘Come on Luca, we almost won two in a row since Lisbon’. He said, ‘No, no, with this great team we have, we have to take advantage and make history by winning two more titles in a row at least’.
‘We won the 12th in Cardiff and the 13th in Kiev. Luca knows that. In Madrid you win the Champions League and the next day they tell you: ‘Let’s see next year’. You win the league and nothing special, and they tell you the European Cup is gone. You’ve won only one cup and they tell you the season has been a disaster. That’s Madrid, the demand is highest.’
