I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Next, Tottenham’s two midfielders are: No. 11 Rafael van der Vaart and No. 14 Luka Modric.

Just hearing the names of these two people can make people gasp uncontrollably.

The 28-year-old Van der Vaart was bought by Tottenham from Real Madrid in 2009 for 800 million.

Real Madrid sold Van der Vaart, Europe's first golden boy, known as the star of the Netherlands and Cruyff Jr., for only 800 million, but a few years later they spent 1 million euros to buy Bale. This operation was not meant to suppress Ronaldo, what else could it be?

Van der Vaart was suffering from injuries at the time, and Real Madrid already had Kaka and Ronaldo. Van der Vaart had been marginalized, so it was very normal for Van der Vaart to be purged by Real Madrid.

Van der Vaart was at his peak when he debuted.

Van der Vaart began to learn to play football in a professional football school at the age of 4. He entered the Ajax youth team in 1993. In 2000, when he was only 16 years old, Van der Vaart was promoted to the first team. At the age of 17, he represented Ajax. Jax played in the game and was known as Little Beckham and Little Cruyff because of his amazing performance and superb footwork.

In 2003, Van der Vaart became the host of the first European Golden Boy Award.

Van der Vaart was at the peak of his life when he was playing for Ajax. His playing style was completely consistent with Ajax's tactics. His left-footed free kicks and scorpion tail shots were absolutely world-class. Class classic.

Of course, when talking about Van der Vaart during the Ajax era, we have to mention another star who was even more arrogant than Van der Vaart - Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Big Ibrahimovic is very crazy, which makes the Dutch gang dislike him.

At one point, Van der Vaart said to Ibrahimovic, you stepped on my foot, and Ibrahimovic said, I didn't step on your foot.

Van der Vaart said you say it again and try it. Ibrahimovic said, just try it.

Van der Vaart said, I will break your legs!

Then Van der Vaart was fucked.

Van der Vaart said, there is him without me in this team, there is me without him.

So, after 2004, Van der Vaart moved to Hamburg.

Most Ajax players have the attributes of positional versatility, and Van der Vaart is no exception.

Van der Vaart played as a midfielder at the beginning, and was later transformed into a forward. He played as a midfielder in Real Madrid. After arriving at Tottenham, Lao Lei reactivated Van der Vaart's attributes as a free agent in the frontcourt. Van der Vaart can play in the midfield. Switch between forward, winger, attacking midfielder, central midfielder and shadow forward at will.

Van der Vaart can even play as a full-back or full-back.

Van der Vaart also ushered in the second spring of his career in the hands of Lao Lei.

Van der Vaart has superb skills, and his passing is extremely imaginative and lethal. His shooting is as good as his passing, especially the long shots in front of the top of the arc, which are like guided missiles.

In addition, Van der Vaart, who is only 176cm tall, not only has excellent shooting ability at his feet, but also has a very strong heading ability. His sense of smell in the penalty area is world-class.

Van der Vaart's breakthroughs on the court are also very sharp, his deep passes are very penetrating, and his left-foot free kick is also world-class.

The only pity is... Van der Vaart's meniscus injury is too serious. Now at the age of 28, he can only display 20 to % of the strength he had when he was years old.

Van der Vaart is a world-class superstar who has been delayed by injuries.     This is fate.

Therefore, Van der Vaart's biggest problem on the court is confrontation. Van der Vaart's physique is easily injured.

However, at Tottenham, Van der Vaart also has protection and support around him.

This support is the future Ballon d'Or winner, Magic Flute: Luka Modric.

Modric's strength is definitely world-class. Even if he is only 25 years old and unknown at Tottenham, head coach Lao Lei can still recognize Modric's core role in the team at a glance.

If Van der Vaart is the frontcourt commander, then Modric is the core organizer of the team.

Tottenham's free-style formation actually has no defensive midfielder. When encountering the opponent's attack, they basically withdraw to defend. So for Tottenham, the offensive and defensive transition is a very critical link, and this is the most critical. One part, and almost the most inconspicuous part, is Modric.

To put it more bluntly, without Modric, Lao Lei's free tactics would be in disarray.

Compared with Van der Vaart, Modric is not the kind of player who has an aura of genius since he was a child. Even because of the Yugoslav war, Modric did not have enough to eat since he was a child, which resulted in his short stature in his youth, only growing to 171cm. Dridge also almost gave up football because of his height and weight.

Fortunately, in 2001, Modric's talent was spotted by the Croatian giant Dinamo Zagreb in a huge crowd, and life at Modric's family finally began to improve.

The talented Modric has been playing quietly in Croatia until he met his agent, the beautiful Bosnic. Bosnic later became Modric's wife. Modric's biggest influence is that he moved Modric to the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur, and then moved Modric to Real Madrid.

Compared with Van der Vaart, Modric was unfortunate in his youth, but compared with his entire career, Modric is many times better than Van der Vaart.

Modric and Van der Vaart actually have many similarities in terms of technology, but first of all, Modric has a very humble character. He is not as arrogant as Van der Vaart, nor is he like Van der Vaart who said that Ibrahimovic stepped on my toes. , is not as prone to injury as Van der Vaart, and is more confrontational.

Van der Vaart's idol is Cruyff, he was called Little Cruyff when he debuted, and his dream is to join Barcelona.

Modric's idol is also Cruyff, he was also called Little Cruyff when he debuted, and his dream is to join Barcelona.

Although they all joined Real Madrid.

Modric's two-foot skills are very balanced, his style of play is elegant, his movement during transition from offense to defense is also excellent, and his defense is also considered excellent among offensive organizers. Modric looks thin and short, but in fact he has great confrontation ability. Strong, violent long-range shots are his specialty.

Moreover, Modric is very physically fit, completely invincible, and can sprint at high speeds repeatedly.

Modric is characterized by his delicate skills and strong midfield organization ability. Modric is also very selfless on the court. He can always do very well whatever the coach asks him to do.

Modric's nickname is Magic Flute. Many domestic fans will think that this nickname is a domestic homophony, but it is not.

The title "Magic Flute" was first given by Real Madrid fans and Spanish media.

This means that Modric can control the rhythm of the game like the Magic Flute in fairy tales.

Modric is a true midfield master.
