Yeah you guessed right. That was me in the back.
This was years ago when we were still training calisthenics too.
I know what's it's like to stay small, lose weight, get jacked, maintain a lean build, be functional. If you're interested in learning any of those, check my bio.
At some point football needs to normalize calling Modrić the third best player of this generation because nobody deserves that label more.
The longevity, the level for club and country, the trophies, what he achieved with Croatia… genuinely, who even has a stronger case?
I was on a calorie deficit for over a month and was running an average of 15 km in a week .
Until one guy corrected me that I wanted to grow muscle carbs are not my enemy 😌.
Calorie deficit is not always an important factor. Sometimes it results in injuries and decreased performance. The body is a complex machine that requires real knowledge in physiology and nutrition. See a dietitian if you can afford to.
One day we’ll have a proper conversation about Modric longevity too, because it’s genuinely one of the greatest we’ve ever seen.
When it comes to staying at the top level for so long, only Ronaldo and Messi are in the same conversation. Modric has been around for the same era as both of them, and for about 15 years he’s performed at the highest level of football too.
To maintain that standard as a midfielder where every game demands intelligence, intensity, and technical excellence is even more remarkable.
When you combine that longevity with everything he’s won for club and country, plus a Ballon d’Or in the Messi-Ronaldo era, he’s top 3 most successful Midfielder Ever.
