If the former Tottenham stands out for something, it is for his technical quality. Since his beginnings at Dinamo Zagreb, Modric has shown a great coordinating ability which has allowed him to function successfully on many difficult occasions throughout his career.
For example, in high pressure situations by one or more players from the rival team, Luka usually get out of them without problem pulling countless technical resources, such as turns with the ball or dribbles, of a qualitative level that is difficult to overcome.
Along with his technical talent, the Croatian player stands out for his excellent cognitive ability.

If we analyze any action of the offensive phase of the white team, and even of the Croatian team, we can see how Luka is always close to the intervention zone where is the ball Furthermore, we can observe how the Croatian player is always located in the intervals, either in intralinears or interlinears. This aspect It makes it easier for you to receive with enough time/space to successfully perform the post-control action.
Likewise, an aspect that stands out within his brilliant tactical maturity and cognitive capacity is the ability to manage game times based on the needs of your team at a particular moment in the game, both individually and collectively when interacting with their peers.
Focusing on Real Madrid, Modric He has created a perfect synergy with his teammates in midfield, Kroos and Casemiro. Thanks to the constellation formed between the three players, they have been able to reach the top in recent years.
Finally, we must also highlight his defensive work on the pitch, as the Croatian is also a very intelligent player when he takes on that role. This is reflected in his mastery of different defensive fundamentals, but especially in the application of the construction zone universal fundamental which refers to “not be overwhelmed in the harassment of the ball holder”.
Thanks to his low center of gravity, Modric is able to run backwards in 1vs1 situations preventing being overtaken by the rival, and waiting for the right moment to enter that allows him to steal the ball cleanly.
Conclusion
