Real Madrid midfielder, Luka Modric has come out to break down when he plans to finally retire. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is currently taking it one game at a time, and he intends to call it quits when he no longer feels the fire inside him.
Modric added that he is happy to continue to help his club and country secure more victories.
His words, “With me you never know. We have to take it game by game. I can’t think about the future. When I no longer feel the fire in me, I will retire. Only I can feel that fire and make the decision. I am happy to continue here to help the team achieve new victories. At my age it is difficult to predict. I won’t need anyone to tell me. Until then, I am still here.
I’m happy to have scored from a free kick after such a long time. I’m proud and happy to have reached 180 appearances for the national team. I never dreamed of reaching that level. The first time is a dream and 180 is something really wonderful. I’m happy to be here and help.”
WOW.
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.
Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.
It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.
Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
