Real Sociedad Midfielder: Modric is a legend, and even more of my idol

Turning Net reported on May 25 that the La Liga finale Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 2-0, and this game became a farewell performance of Modric's Bernabeu. After the game, against Real Sociedad midfielder Turientes, who was playing in a competitive Real Sociedad midfielder, could not hide his respect and used the double labels of "legend" and "idol" to send the most sincere praise to the Croatian master.

"Modric is a legend in the world football world. He plays the same position as me and has always been my idol." Turientes's words were full of longing. As a technical player who plays as a midfielder, his playing style is deeply influenced by the Magic Flute - he pursues accurate long pass scheduling, pays attention to offense and defense conversion rhythm, and even has a bit similar command gestures on the court. Although Real Sociedad failed to win in this game, Turientest made a move to Modric after the game, exchanged jerseys and whispered. This scene was captured by the camera and became the warm inheritance of two generations of midfielders.

Recalling the Real Madrid career of Magic Flute, the 37-year-old still contributed 9 goals and 5 assists this season, playing the role of "midfield brain" in Ancelotti's tactical system. In the game against Real Sociedad, he used his 6 key passes and 89% pass success rate to interpret the football truth of "the older he gets more demonic". Turientes, who averaged 1.8 steals and 2.3 key passes per game in La Liga this season, is also regarded by the Spanish media as the new generation representative of the "Magic Flute-style midfielder".

"I want to congratulate him for his performance throughout the season." Turientes specifically mentioned the professional spirit of Magic Flute: "His attitude towards every detail in training and his calmness in the face of pressure in the game are all role models for me to learn from." This intergenerational mutual appreciation reflects the purest inheritance of the football world - when Modric bids farewell with tears on the lawn of Bernabeu, juniors like Turientes are taking over the torch of "midfield art", allowing elegance and wisdom to continue in the green field from generation to generation.

From Iniesta to Modric, La Liga has always been a shortage of midfield masters who use technology to define the era. Nowadays, when Turientes sorts out his offense and defense at the Arnoetta Stadium, the shadow of the magic flute may appear from time to time - it is the power of idols and the endless life of football aesthetics. As Spain's Le Marca said: "Modric's farewell is not the end, but the starting point of another story about 'love and inheritance'."
