Luka Modric says Real
Madrid are struggling in the current campaign due to the club’s inability to
sign a quality replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo after his switch to Juventus
last summer.
According to Daily Mail report, the Croatian playmaker, who was
speaking Monday ahead of the Los Blancos Champions League last-16, reverse
fixture against Ajax on Tuesday insists the club’s current strikers have also
failed to step into the role vacated by Ronaldo. The Ballon d'Or winners
further hinted that the major problem facing the Galaticos is centered on
inconsistency and lack of goals this term.
At the last count, Real
Madrid could not account for a single goal in 180 minutes of football, in two
Clasico fixtures against Barca last week. A performance that saw Real Madrid
sent packing from the Copa del Rey as well as going down 12 points adrift of
Barcelona at the summit of the La Liga log,
Surprisingly, the Champions
League is now the only available window, the Los Blancos can seek a silverware
in the 2018-19 campaign. Interestingly, Real Madrid have failed to sign quality
forward as the Portuguese replacement, but opted for youngsters like Vinicius
Junior and Mariano Diaz.
“The absence of Cristiano
is something every team would feel; to find a replacement for Cristiano is
almost impossible,” Modric told journalists. “Given what he did for us and this
club, we miss Cristiano. The club wanted the other players to make up for what
he did, divided between the strikers and that is not easy. “Cristiano scored 50
goals and you can't find someone today who scores that many.
Some of us have to take a
step forward and, while not scoring 50, what we need is two or three players
who score 15, 20, or 10 goals and we don't have that. “That is our biggest
problem this year. For example against Barca in the cup we had many chances and
when you don't take advantage your opponent punishes you. “The club tried, and
it seems good, putting faith in other players like Gareth (Bale), (Marco)
Asensio, Karim (Benzema); they brought in Mariano, Vinicius is here.
