Modric names preparation as key ingredient to his longevity: “Analyse my opponents”

By: Isak Möller Luka Modric has explained that his longevity comes down to preparation and attention to detail, still putting in the hard work at 41 years old.

Last season, Modric blew everyone away with his performances on the pitch, as well as his ability to perform week in and week out. There were initially concerns about his physical condition, but with 32 starts and 37 appearances, he certainly squashed those concerns.

This campaign has perhaps started with more ups and downs, but his importance to the team remains undeniable. Furthermore, he has shown that his physical condition still isn’t a problem, especially since he was even called up for international duty (and played).
