The Middle East World Cup continues and with it the participation of the Real Madrid players, who are closely watched by the Merengue coaching staff
Carlo Ancelotti currently has 8 players in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, after losing the last minute to Karim Benzema and the early farewell to Thibaut Courtois, Eden Hazard, Antonio Rudiger and Fede Valverde
One of the most followed players of the Madrid entity is Luka Modric, captain of Croatia, who is living his last major international tournament with the national teams, and who will face Japan in the round of 16
In the Madrid entity, there is a kind of anger at the position of the white midfielder in the World Cup, as he is subjected to great physical exhaustion
The Croatian saw himself with great physical exhaustion in the current tournament, and had to cover a lot of the field with exaggerated effort, something reminiscent of what happened four years ago, in Russia 2018
At Real Madrid, they feel Luka Modric is the best. That returning to the merengue system he can suffer more physically than others, because he takes real blows with his team
He plays it all, covers a lot of pitch and his wear and tear is the limit, it’s all in a 37-year-old, which is why Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Bentos think the white footballer will need “a bit longer”. “Rest so that you can recover better from all the beatings that are happening in Qatar
However, Luka Modric is very clear that he will spare no effort, knowing that he faces his last great competition with Croatia, the chosen one with whom he will seek to repeat the success of the last World Cup
