The year of the 14th: The last? CMK dance

Without shrillness, without generating noise, normally, with the class that exudes on the outside (shoe) and inside (global) Luka Modric has renewed for Real Madrid

We won't talk about Tchouameni (his stats say he would be a huge signing) until it's official. But it is clear that the fourteenth was a special day for the CMK, our Casemiro-Modric-Kroos. I'm not saying the final touch because with these guys you never know, but of course it has been the icing on the cake they needed to be even more of a legend.

The next essential move of this historic trio is not to block the future. Carlo's greatest diligence, after a Champions League, is to generate a healthy transition to another champion club. Transition or continuity. And it goes through astute and proper use of those who remain (they can dose their best appearances) and the new and young (don't get frustrated and be part of the team)

I liked Kroos, at the end of the Champions League, when he openly said (I can't find a link now) that Valverde and Camavinga were the future, that they would have to take over from them. I liked less that anger that he showed with Carlo one day when he replaced him with Eduardo, by the way for the good of the team. Let's see if Kroos understands that with a correct role he can still set aside a lot.

Casemiro worries me more, because he is a player who needs to play. If he doesn't play, he's slow, he's late, and every year he plays more and more against himself. The arrival of another player with defensive skills can be difficult to handle.

And Lukita... we already know that he doesn't know how to dose himself as much as we would like. I mean, for example, to continue going with Croatia (Luka is a patriot) or wanting to play against all the teams in the league, big, medium and small teams. I wish you were eternal, Modric

Continuing to be a champion team, after the midfield that has dominated Europe this decade, involves getting this transition that has already begun right... but which is entering a new stage this summer.

How good it will be for us, for that, that Egoppé did not come.
