Modric ‘unhappy’ at Real Madrid, looking for more playing time

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has admitted he is not happy with the little playing time he has been getting since the start of the season. The 38-year-old Croatian has been less and less in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting line-up and hopes that will change in future.

“It’s certainly a new situation for me. I don’t play as often as I used to, and as much as I’d like to. You know that I want to always be on the field, I don’t want breaks, I just want to play. I don’t like what’s going on. If I was in bad physical shape, it would be different, but I feel great and I want to play if I have to, every three days,” Modric said at a press conference in his homeland before the European qualifier against Turkey.

“What is happening around me is a normal process. I take it that way. I have to adapt to the situation and move on,” he added.
