“The last thing I expected was to spend so many years at this great club”

MADRID, 25 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Croatian midfielder of Real Madrid, Luka Modric, has celebrated that “there is nothing better” than to be part of the white club and, after signing his renewal for one more season, he has acknowledged that, when he arrived from Tottenham in 2012, ” The last thing I expected was to spend so many years at this great club. “

“There is nothing better than being a Real Madrid player and there is no better feeling than playing at the Bernabéu. Everyone wants to get to Real Madrid and I have been lucky to be here, I am going to turn 10 and there is nothing better I have to represent this great club. They have been nine years of dreams and I hope that the tenth season will also be special, “said Modric in a statement to the Real Madrid media.

The Croatian acknowledged that this renewal “means a lot.” “It fills me with pride and it will mean that I will be here for almost 10 years. It is something incredible, that I did not expect. I arrived here almost 27 years old and the last thing I expected was to be so many years in this great club, where the demand is maximum and you always have to be at the highest possible level to deserve to continue. I am very happy and proud to continue one more year at this club, “he said.

At 35, Modric explained that he takes care of himself “to the maximum day by day” because extending his career involves “being focused, training, recovering, eating well and resting well”. “That is why I think I continue to maintain the level that I have shown this year. This club forces you to do your best and while I’m here I’m going to give it my all,” he guaranteed, adding that it is difficult for him “to choose a moment with Real Madrid because there is Many”.

“I would not like to choose one, but to win the Tenth and make a double that season by winning the Cup, the double of the 2016/17 season, in which we won the League and the Champions League … In these years we have played very well and I I felt very confident, enjoying the matches. Also the year 2018, which was spectacular for me both individually and collectively. What we have done these nine years has been spectacular. It is almost unrepeatable and, to be honest, I could not imagine that he was going to win four Champions “, he was honest.
