I just think losing both Kroos and Modric in the same season will be a big set back for Real Madrid. I use to think they won’t feel their absence since the younger players have already understood the game too now and have played with them several times but I was all wrong. Every team still needs a leader no matter what and that’s the role left for Modric to play for Real Madrid now.

I always knew Madrid will feel the absence of Modric and Kroos. It would have been better if Kroos stayed and Modric left in my opinion. The kind of midfielders Madrid have right now, none of them can feel that Kroos role. Camavinga and Touchmeni may try but they won't be able to. Velverde and Bellingham can't also play the Kroos role. The good thing is that Ancellotti is still around and being the master strategist he is and also very good at man management , he'll getbtge best of them.

Arder Guler is a player that can replicate Modric. He's not as good but he has the potential, so it's a good thing Modric is staying so he can have one more year to learn from him. Guler and Diaz are currently the only pure attacking midfielders that are playmakers that Madrid has and if they are properly developed, they might turn into the new Ozil ans Di Maria for Madrid.
