Ancelotti and squad want Modric to start in big matches, but Florentino Perez and the board disagree - reports
Carlo Ancelotti is pleased with Luka Modric and believes he still has a lot to offer. The Real Madrid manager wants to give him a bigger role in the team despite concerns from the club’s hierarchy.
Ancelotti, his staff, and all the players always want Luka Modric to start, but it's Florentino Perez, and some members of the board who don't want Modric in the big games, according to Relevo. They admire his qualities but feel he should no longer be a regular starter in crucial matches.
According to the report, Luka Modric is an exemplary player for Ancelotti. He is the leader of the team, the only one able to put the players in their place, with his voice and leadership.
With important matches coming up, there is a chance he could return to the starting lineup, though he is expected to be on the bench for the derby against Atletico.
The midfielder is determined to prove himself. "He wants to make Ancelotti doubt his decisions," reports add. His recent performances have strengthened his case, and he could feature more often in key fixtures.
