"So I went from a mini ester to Luca Modric and I've always said now in the last couple of years once Luca Modric retires the team you will become my favorite player I don't know why it looks like midfielders I like I like guys that are creative guys who run the game guys who have a their their finger on the pulse of the game those are just the players that are attractive to me I get you need a goal scorer I understand you need guys that put up numbers you need to run all those in the messes and now the Hollins and then Bob A's but those are just the guys that are attractive to me I've been blessed now at least for a season he came to the club that I love Milan right and he I didn't I didn't know prior to this he had sort of this affinity for Milan right it was one of his boyhood clubs that he talked about and when you think about when he grew up Milan was at the top of the mountain right and and but to watch him play has been incredible that 2018 season the run that they made his his contributions to his club and country that year were incredible we're going to miss him man he he's he's he's been one of a kind so we sat yesterday and Charlie goes okay give me your top midfielders of all time like in kind of this error where does he where does he rank and then we missed Zidane yeah you know he's in there you know he's he's he's 100 percent would you rate him ahead of Iniesta oh this is going to sound quite crazy I actually might and the only reason why I might is because Iniesta was a part of an incredible team was a phenomenal player very similar in terms of the way that they kind of dictate tempo and I watched Iniesta kind of revolutionized football in terms of how we looked at with that Barcelona team was Javi and Ronaldinho and all those that came through but I kind of look at Modric and I feel like he's had a number of different spells like he left Tottenham at what 29 29 years old he was much younger I don't think he was bro yeah okay well I'm gonna go by your word brother on this one but like he left Tottenham and I feel like I'd had a good preference as a to who he was and what he had achieved in the Premier League and I and I didn't see his ceiling being as high as it was I thought it was a phenomenal player of spurs but when he went to run Madrid he went to a completely different level like I watched him go with the world's best and go and win all those champions leagues and the Ballon d'Or that we spoke about and and not only that it's it's what he's still doing in the embodiment of consistency you know why I put him up there with the others in terms of their greatness it's the longevity of it like we need to really appreciate that he's been doing this for two decades and that for me and you guys will know that's not easy when you're talking about playing at the highest level and still playing in the World Cup at 40 years old"
