Real Madrid won again. This time, 0-2 against Sevilla at the Sánchez-Pizjuán. But beyond the result, what has sparked conversation is the strong opinion of Tomás Roncero, one of the most influential journalists in the Madridist environment.
a match with many interpretations
The match not only left a solid victory for Madrid but also two expulsions that set the pace: Badé and Isaac Romero left early. However, the most notable aspect was not the cards, but the performance in the midfield.
In a Real Madrid that seems to seek balance and creativity, Roncero sent a clear message after following the match live on Cadena SER. It is not about new young signings like Angelo Stiller or Zubimendi. For the journalist, the key is to ensure the continuity of a veteran who keeps proving he has much to contribute.
Luka Modric: the indispensable midfielder
The name Roncero put forward is Luka Modric. The Croatian played the entire match again and made it clear why he remains vital. "We are making some decent plays thanks to Modric's professional pride and infinite quality," the journalist noted.
For Roncero, Luka is not just another player; he is the genius of the midfield who must keep wearing white. The renewal, according to him, should not be an option but an obligation for the club. The creativity and organizational capacity that the Croatian provides are not easily seen in other players on the squad.
the lack of creativity and the search for solutions
Real Madrid has suffered the absence of Toni Kroos, and it shows in the midfield. Without a natural creative, the team has lost spark in several phases of the championship. That's why Modric's renewal appears as an urgent need to keep that balance so difficult to find.
Meanwhile, in the Valdebebas offices, they are moving to strengthen the midfield. Juni Calafat and his team of scouts are analyzing alternatives in the market. But Roncero has no doubt: Modric's experience and quality is the immediate solution.
beyond the club world cup
With the Club World Cup around the corner, the coaching staff led by Xabi Alonso also knows that a reliable midfielder is essential. Modric's continuity could make the difference in that tournament and the rest of the season.
Moreover, renewing the Croatian is not just a nod for the short term. It is a bet for Real Madrid to keep that winning DNA and technical quality that has defined this team in recent years.
