How does #LukaModric disarm high press now?

He is an active Real Madrid starter and Croatia international through the 2023–24 season.

He continued to feature in LaLiga and UEFA Champions League fixtures while receiving managed minutes in congested schedules.

The hinge is his *first-touch orientation* that consistently converts pressure into angled release opportunities.

When receiving from centre-backs he opens the body with a lateral cushion under pressure, redirecting spin and weight to create a 30–45 degree passing corridor toward the full-back or mezzala while drawing the nearest presser into a sequencing gap inside 0.6–0.9 seconds.

The common elite error is early vertical release into the central channel which removes the angular window, invites a 2v1 overload, and yields only high-risk ball recoveries under counterpressure.

Does Real Madrid's minutes management and fixture congestion explain his diminished high-intensity press recovery?
