Chapter 12 The friends were shocked
Luca. Luka Modric!
When Degan said the name, Prandley was stunned for a moment, and then, after thinking carefully, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Degan: "Rod! Are you sure you're talking about Modric! That talented player in Croatia! ”
Deegan nodded: "Of course! I think he's a great fit for our team, coach, what about your opinion? ”
What can Prandelli say, if Fiorentina do bring in Modric, of course he will be in favor with his hands and feet held high.
Luka Modric may be young, but he is not one of the things that the team brought in under the guidance of Degan last summer, and the Croatian is in fact already attracting the attention of all over Europe.
Modric's first club was his hometown side NK Zadar. At the age of 16, Modric was selected by Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia's strongest club, and Modric began his glorious journey.
For young players who play for heavyweight clubs, it is not a bad thing to gain experience on loan at a small club, and Modric has illustrated this very well.
A year after joining Dinamo Zagreb, the 18-year-old went on loan to a club in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he was voted the best player of the season in the league with eight goals in 22 games.
Immediately after returning home, Modric was loaned to neighbouring NK club of Dinamo Zagreb, and in the 04/05 season Modric played a total of 18 games, scoring three goals to help the team finish runners-up in the Croatian league, and he himself was named Croatia's Star of the Year.
With such a good performance from Luka Modric, Dinamo Zagreb certainly has no reason to sit idly by. After returning to the team from loan in 2005, such as Dinamo Zagreb, ?
In order to avoid brain drain, he immediately signed a long-term contract with Modric for a period of 10 years.
While they themselves understand that Modric's future belongs to Europe's top five leagues, a long-term contract will ensure that the club will get the most out of the future sale of players.
After Dinamo Zagreb gained a foothold, Modric also caught the attention of the national team. First Croatia's Under-21 team and then the senior national team.
In March 2006, Luka Modric made his international debut in Croatia's 3-2 win over Argentina, where he performed brilliantly, providing a brilliant assist off the bench.
In the '06 German Shijie Cup, Luka Modric, who was the country's hopeful, was selected in the final squad and was given the opportunity to come off the bench for 30 minutes in the group stage against Japan and Australia.
While the Shijie Cup experience wasn't perfect, for Modric it has made him more mature. After rising to the heart of the team, Modric relied on his well-rounded left and right feet, as well as his ability to coordinate and command in midfield, helping Dinamo Zagreb win two league titles, a League Cup and a domestic Super Cup, and at the age of 22 he wore the captain's armband and became a veritable standard-bearer.
With Modric's outstanding performance, the invitation letter inviting Modric to join flew like snowflakes to the desk of the chairman of Dinamo Zagreb, including Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich and other football giants who shocked the Europa League.
Former Croatian star Lapacz said: "Modric is a combination of Cruyff and Zola, running tirelessly on the pitch. Never before have Croatia had a midfielder so well-rounded. ”
Not only did Croatian fans appreciate it, but he also attracted attention abroad.
The Italian says Modric is more of a cross between Andrea Pirlo and Gattuso, with the former's artistry, vision and precise footwork, as well as the latter's fighting spirit.
After watching his game, the reporter of "Milan Sport" asked: "Why didn't AC Milan contact the possibility of buying Modric through Boban?" ”
However, there are Italians who have tried this, Palermo has tried the possibility of his transfer, bidding 8 million, and the other club replied, "This number, which shoe do you want to buy Modric?" ”
Modric's feet are very balanced, and his biggest feature is his movement when switching between attack and defense; Among the offensive playmakers, his defense is also considered superior. What doesn't match his thin frame is his huge shot, and his powerful long-range shot is his scoring weapon. At the same time, Modric's physical strength is also breathtaking. His timing of his passes was perfect, his passes were precise and he could do just that.
Luka Modric has a fluid style and is full of energy, good at dribbling and passing, and can also act as a team commander, arranging the team's midfield and midfield.
The former legendary superstar Cruyff is the idol of Modric, so he wants to have the same "No. 14" jersey as the superstar, and is determined to become a superstar on the field as well; Although he is not yet 23 years old, he has already swallowed the bitter fruit of his opponents who despise him time and time again.
"Looking at Shijie, in the midfield position, only Brazil's Kaka is better than him." Croatia coach Bilic praised him, "He is smart and creative, he can remind people of the superstar of yesteryear Cruyff. ”
Luka Modric is now a well-known young talent in Shijie football, and if he can get such a player, Prandley will certainly be happy, but ~~~~~~
"But, Rod! We now have Ricardo and Marek! ”
Luka Modric is currently playing in a midfield position for club and country, and if he were to Fiorentina, he would have to face competition from Montolivo and Hamsik, and it would be a waste to stock up on three high-quality players in one position.
Of course, Digan has thought about Prandelli's concerns, but he is not advocating the introduction of Modric in order to play in the midfield position, but as a central midfielder like Ledesma.
In Digan's previous life, Modric really became popular because of his performance in Tottenham, and later after transferring to Real Madrid, he also played in the forward position, but because the attacking core of Real Madrid at that time was Golden Mauro, Modric's ability was not played at all.
After a failed season, Modric changed positions in his second season at Real Madrid, and his performance also allowed him to go from the "most disappointing signing" in his first season to the most indispensable midfield passer for Real Madrid in the new season, and the Croatian international conquered the Bernabeu fans with his outstanding performances, all because Ancelotti gave him trust and freedom, which Mourinho promised before signing but never gave him a season.
Modric's best thing is not to impact the opponent's backline, but to hide behind the attacking players, deliver ammunition, he has a big heart and a cool head that is completely inconsistent with his age, either he doesn't pass, and if he wants to pass, he will pass in place and accurately, in this regard, even the Golden Mauro can't compare.
Whether it's a pass up front, a pass at the back, or a successful long pass, Modric is in the top three for Real Madrid after changing positions, and Modric plays an important role in the team's tandem process, and not only in attack, but also in defence, the Croatian also contributes a lot, interception and tackle are also very good.
At that time in Real Madrid, Modric also once thought about leaving, returning to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League as Bale's head, or going to Manchester United to start over, but he eventually stayed, and as a result, in the new position, he won the main position, Ancelotti got his own Pirlo or Verratti in Real Madrid, in the Italian's tactical system, such a can pass, can break, and can grab the back has always been a necessity.
Luka Modric has also gone from Alonso's replacement to Carlo Ancelotti's irreplaceable player. Aside from the need for suspension or rotation, Modric rarely misses a game.
Modric's importance at Real Madrid has increased significantly, and he has become the perfect partner for Alonso, even more so than Alonso. Modric steals, create chances, and assist teammates on the field, and can be called an all-round fighter. He knows how to accurately open up the wings and lead the team's attack.
Modric can succeed at Real Madrid, Degan believes he can also succeed at Fiorentina, and with Prandelli's tutelage, Degan is very confident in his choice.
Fiorentina picked up Modric's idea, and many of the continent's giants are also looking to get the Croatian talent.
Modric himself is now in a sweet state of distress, and although the lure of the giants is hard to refuse, Modric also knows that his fame and qualifications are not enough to make him a foothold in a team like Chelsea and Manchester United, and the main problem at the moment is to accumulate game experience.
Therefore, at the suggestion of national team coach Bilic, Modric decided to choose a mid-table team as his new club, just like his national team team-mate Kranica.
And this news also made Newcastle manager Kevin . Keegan was thrilled as Luka Modric had just visited the club's training ground last week and had been impressed.
What was even more reassuring for Newcastle was the words of the president of Dinamo Zagreb Club Mamic before saying goodbye, "By far, Newcastle is the closest club to Modric!" ”
While Newcastle were still preparing to host Modric, Digan also persuaded De La Valle to make an offer to Dinamo Zagreb.
Twenty-three million euros!
Mamic couldn't help but be stunned by Fiorentina's offer, knowing that Newcastle's offer was only 15.5 million euros, which is really a big difference.
Who doesn't earn money!
Mamic immediately agreed to the offer made by Fiorentina, while Prandelli also flew to Croatia to lobby Modric himself.
Fiorentina was able to enter the Champions League despite not scoring a single goal last season, but was fined 19 points, who would dare to say that Fiorentina was unsuccessful.
At the same time, Florence's fame is really not small, especially Digan on the front line, almost everyone knows it, no one knows it.
But the two sides had never been in contact before, and now they suddenly wanted to bring him in, which couldn't help but make Modric wonder.
Prandelli also knew that Modric would have some concerns, so he explained to him in detail Fiorentina's current tactics and the repositioning of his position.
If Modric had been asked to change positions, he would have been disgusted, but when Prandelli analysed his jishu characteristics, Modric found that he didn't even know as well as the suave Italian coach in front of him.
"Sir! What I want to know is what kind of role I play in the new season in Fiorentina, whether it is a rotation player or a main team! ”
Prandelli guessed that Modric would ask the question, and did not want to hide or deceive: "Luca! In Florence, no one is the absolute workhorse except Digan, everything depends on the state! ”
Although Prandelli did not give a positive answer, which disappointed Modric, the sincere attitude of the other party also made him feel good.
In Modric's mind, a comparison also began, Fiorentina and Newcastle United, these two teams have similar status in their respective leagues, but there is no doubt that Fiorentina is more vibrant, the team is full of young players, and the future is limitless.
Moreover, Modric, who is in the midfield position, relies on Jishu to eat, but in the Premier League, which emphasizes the pace of high-speed play and emphasizes physical confrontation, it will usher in a difficult period of adaptation.
Modric is not afraid of challenges, but he also doesn't want to waste time adapting to a new environment.
Another important point is that Fiorentina, who have Digan, is obviously more to look forward to in the new season.
Thinking of this, Modric also made a decision in his heart.
Just when the whole of Newcastle Football Club was excited about the core of the new season being in place, a statement left Newcastle's hierarchy dumbfounded.
'Fiorentina FC has reached an agreement with Dinamo Zagreb on the transfer of Modric and the player will be part of Fiorentina this summer.'
What kind of situation is this, not only Newcastle is dumbfounded, but also those giants who are also playing Modric's idea, these high-ranking friends are also shocked, people are just waiting, and before the official action begins, Fiorentina actually made the first move and took Modric down.
