Carlo Ancelotti praised Luka Modric after he scored a remarkable goal in Real Madrid's 2-0 win against Girona. At 39, Modric may not be a regular starter, but he retains immense value in the squad. Ancelotti describes him as "a gift for football," highlighting his exceptional quality and professionalism. He noted the influence of longevity in sports, likening Modric to Paolo Maldini, who showcased the importance of attitude and genetics in career longevity. Modric, contracted until this summer, speaks of the team's good form and potential for growth.
"Modric is a gift for football. He should keep going for as long as he wants to. Whatever he does, he does well. Football, and we at Real Madrid, have been lucky to have him as a legend."
"I have an example of another player, Maldini, you can compare both of them. They're fantastic role models. It isn't a coincidence that they reached 40. Genes are a factor, but above all professionalism, seriousness, attitude."
