The Croatian displayed his amazing leadership skills during the World Cup
Real Madrid did not just lose an important figure when Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus this summer, they also lost a great leader on the pitch. Ronaldo was a difference maker during his time in the Spanish capital, bagging plenty of goals and rising up to decide the fate of games at the vital moments.

After the departure of the Portuguese, Real Madrid definitely need another superstar to rise up and lead the team and Los Blancos have done really well by keeping Modric for the summer. Although the playmaker is not a born goalscorer, Los Blancos can trust him to lead them effectively with his amazing leadership skills throughout the campaign.
The Croatian has shown us that he can carry the burden of a team with his unbelievable performances in the World Cup recently. As a matter of fact, Real Madrid will need the midfielder to produce such brilliance this season - especially during the big games.
