Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has said that he will not be involved in the future of Luka Modric, who no longer has a contract next season. The Croatian midfielder made it clear in a emphatic way against Girona that he is still good enough to compete at the highest level.
At the end of the season, Modric is not a contract outside and as the majority of the last decade has been the case, the veteran will discuss his future with the club at the end of the season. Los Blancos only offers players older than thirty years old an annual extension due to policy. It is assumed that the 39-year-old, who became the oldest Real Madrid player and the oldest scorer of Real Madrid this season, is supposed to continue.
“I'm not going into this problem. It is a problem between the club and the players, “Ancelotti explained. “It was with Nacho, with duckweed, with Modric itself. A legend has the right to do what he wants. This is the idea of the club. They will make the best decision for everyone. '
On the other side of the scale is Raul Asencio, who makes his first inads in the senior side in the Santiago Bernabeu. Ancelotti moved to clarify the comments that Asencio was not as technically gifted as his colleagues.
“If I said that Asencio had a technical weakness, I was wrong. He is young and we work with him like with all young people in the academy. The young person learns a lot. We did not work with him on the technical side, we worked on the tactical. “
“Sometimes aggressiveness is not the most sensible way of acting, more in the box. You could give away a fine. But we worked on this. He is doing very well. Raul has really been a surprise for everyone. Also for me. “
Asencio has been in good shape of the latter form lately and shone against Manchester City in the play-off of the Champions League. However, there are reports that with the recovery of David Alaba he could be reset for the bank. Ancelotti also responded to criticism of the lack of opportunities that he gives to young players.
