@@DA-db9bi I've seen them all and i'm probably older than you, so shut your stupid mouth. Laudrup was also god tier. But i think giving the same performance in today's complex, fast and enduring football environment, it is just something else. Zidane had excellent technique, but he only had a few good years. Iniesta and Xavi were also exceptional players, but we only saw them in a system which was tailored exactly for their virtues (and Messi's). It is not that hard to control the game and have good vision when your team has 75-80 percent ball control. Of course, they contributed to this performance, but for example Xavi wouldn't have been that level in another style or environment. These things do not matter for Modric, he performances with every coach, in every style, at all matches. (Also in the Premier League in a weaker team.) That is the difference.
Modric is the midfielder with the most successful dribbles since 2009...Modric have 1222 dribbles/845 successful dribbles (69%) and Iniesta have 1178 dribbles/747 successful dribbles (63%) + Modric also was playing in Premier League for 5 years (much competetive and stronger league than La Liga especially back than) but people would still say that Iniesta is better dribbler cause they prefer Iniesta...If Modric was playing in Spain with Xavi, Busquets, Villa, Torres, Ramos, Fabregas, Xabi Alonso, Alba, Silva, Mata...He would also winning Euros and World Cup trophies but question is would Iniesta achieved in Croatia all thoose what Modric did?!

Modric is like no other You could say he is like a machine however he has no malfunctions. You could say he is one of our god's gifts for us all, yet not all of us award him with the recognition he deserves. In my words, he is more complete than the word 'Perfect'. His football is divine. Luka can not be described in words, although I will still try to compliment him, how he Tackles with one and a half hearts, Passes with 120 percent precision, Shoots with amazingly beautiful strikes, Runs with wise and thoughtful strides, Dribbles with elegant and marvelous movement and always plays his heart into every second that he stand on this earth's surface. His consistency is blindfolding as you never see any amazing 'Modric magic moments', as he is always magical, every zeptosecond, and that is why he is taken for granted. Maybe if he was imperfect he would get more recognition as then he would get bursts of brilliance that everyone stares at. Never a millimeter off perfect. He is a gift like no other, the perfect player, a supernova from another universe Thank you for everything you have ever done and I will miss the day when you will retire and never set foot onto what you make a luscious and beautiful place to spectate. Luka Modric, the Croatian Legend. Just beautiful.
Hes been a baller since his Tottenham days. That headline from Barca media that said he was the biggest flop of the season when he was bought has aged like milk. He has the tenacity and stamina of the modern premier league player but all the technical ability and intelligence of a la Liga player. Imo top 5 midfielders of all time if not the best.
I am from Croatia and believe me, he's been a baller ever since he started playing senior football, probably even before... He was smashing competition at NK Zrinjski and he was the best player of the Bosnian league at the age of 17... No matter what league was it, he was THE BEST PLAYER of the league at that young age... Later at Dinamo Zagreb he was toying with everybody.... The following spells with Tottenham and Real doesn't need an explanation, everybody knows those chapters of his magnificent career .... I'm sorry that people don't know what a class player he has always been. If you don't believe me, just look at those highlights: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9DrT0JQbiuE.html&ab_channel=SoccerMalabari and these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sOsa-9KgIJk.html&ab_channel=MedietaEN This was amongst his first games in national team, he was still with Dinamo, and this was 2 years before he joined Tottenham, and he played superb against England, home and away! And those highlights of course, are against Arsenal and England, just imagine how he played against weaker opponents in Croatian league!!!
He's been baller from the Dinamo days Premier league put him on eye, he was the same class in Dinamo in early 20. Always the best on the pitch,from the first day I remember in 2008., we knew that he is going in the some top league, we went 20 games in a row to watch his last for Dinamo, and where this great man and player went for the years to come And still active, played semis tonight 20 years of top class football Hvala Luka 💙🇭🇷👑👑🏆
Modrić is the only footballer I admire. Above all, I like his humility and humanity, as well as his heart and honesty. He, unlike other great football players, always puts the team before himself. He makes all players better. Redknapp said about him a long time ago that he is the dream of every coach, because he is able to bring every team to the top 4. (While he was playing in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he brought Zrinski from the bottom of the rankings to the first place in a year, and he himself was declared the best player of the championship. In the Croatian league, he brought Inter Zaprešić to second place - Dinamo first. He brought Tottenham to 4th place from 17. He also brought Croatia to 2nd and 3rd place at the WC) Ronaldo left Real, and it seems that Real is playing his best football. Real said goodbye to Ronaldo without tears (at the age of 33 at the time), and they didn't say goodbye to Modrić even at 37. When Real plays with him, and when Real plays without him - you can see the difference. He makes the difference. In addition, when we remember what all the football greats said about him (Sir Alex called him the best player in the Premier League, Zidane told him that he is the most important player of Real and that he sees in him the future owner of the Ballon d'Or. Mourinho said that he controls the game, that he is incredibly intelligent in understanding the game...etc...etc...) He is a football genius, but also a great man: no envy, arrogance , acting, selfishness, egocentrism. It is modest, but big. An authentic Catholic. That's why it's the biggest for me.
@@hectorsanchez5451modric was not better than xavi,Iniesta,laudrup tighten up kid😂. I swear Real Madrid fans are the most idiotic on earth. I bet all of you think Sergio Ramos is the best defender in history to😂
Top 5 midfielders of all time, if not the best, but I also respect other people who put him behind Iniesta or Zidane, they are all in the same ballpark in terms of greatness
I understand there are many Barca fans, which will say that Xavi and Iniesta are better, but after this world cup 2022 we all have to agree that he is the one who is better then them
@@bryanbrunner9211 you dont even know what you are talking about. They are not 50 years older then me. Iniesta is 38 and xavi 43. Ofc i watch them play.
Didn't want to hope on the recency bias train but it isn't even bias at this point, he's the best midfielder of this generation and easily top 10 all time. His resume and longevity back it up. If you disagree then please watch other sports.
The guy plays on the same level the whole 20 year's... As coach Bielsa said: there is nobody like him, I am manager for how long and there was none like him or still is... Nobody has that quality, he has everything, he's even good in air, jumping for ball to header
It's actually really simple - Modrić makes every team, every player on the team, better. It's especially noticeable with the younger players, the calm his mere presence for 20-40 minutes per game brings is irreplaceable.
. I would have to think about where I'd put him taking into account all countries. Probaby 3rd behind Iniesta and Xavi . Pirlo and Scholes would round out my top 5.
@@MathiasGr. really did modric win 2 Euro and the world cup ? did modric win sextuple ? did modric win a trebble ? Individually Xavi and inniesta could not win Ballon do'r just because the played in the era of Prime Messi and Ronaldo ..Xavi was in Ballon do'r podium 4 straight years and IFFHS playmaker of the year Xavi won 4 times and modric won it just ones ..Modric also would not have won Ballon dor it if Ronaldo not left real madrid in 2017 .. Modric won 5 UCL to Xavi and Inniesta's 4 UCL ...other than that Xavi and inniesta were miles ahead ..
If you really want to go with purely trophies Dani Alves has more than double the amount of titles (43) than Modric (21). Does that make him a better player than Luka? No. And I'm sorry I comitted a crime by having the opinion ro put Modric third. What i will say that ihis combination of physical condition and consistent performance level at 37 is unlike anyone I've ever seen Moreover because the level of a midfielder usually drops at 34, 35 at the most. You won't believe what I'll say now but I love seeing Modric play and have massive respect for him.
