The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager has criticized Modric’s attitude at Tottenham and has revealed that the club has taken disciplinary action against the Croatian midfielder after he refused to train in order to force a move through
to Real Madrid from English Premier League...
Andre Villas Boas has come out and made it clear that Tottenham are going to take a strict stance against player revolt at the club as it has been the case in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857’s refusal to train for the North London outfit in an attempt
to force a move through to the Spanish champions, Real Madrid. Real Madrid are the front runners to sign the Croatian midfielder from Tottenham but other clubs such as Manchester United are also interested.
Modric had an above average European Championship campaign with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879 but he has caught the eye recently with Tottenham over the past three years in the Premier League. The creative playmaker has been a source of inspiration
at Tottenham for the fans and his team mates alike as he has the ability to control the tempo of the match.
Villas Boas had hinted a few weeks ago that Tottenham were willing to part ways with the Croatian midfielder if the right bid came in but it appears that there is a disagreement between Real Madrid and the Premier League club
when it comes to the value of Luka Modric. In such a situation, Modric has been trying to coerce his current employers into relaxing their demands, something that has not been welcomed by Andre Villas Boas.
The Tottenham manager said, "The situation as it stands is the player is under club discipline for not being present. There [are] clubs interested in him but we have to hold onto our values and our rights. At the moment the situation
for Luka is that he's under club discipline."
He added, "He's a player who has offered so much for Tottenham. We also have a sense of respect for what he has done for us but the chairman feels that the fact that he is not present is not common professional behaviour."
