The Guardian has a great piece on
the No. 10 position and the declining importance of playmakers in European football. It features Riquelme as the prototypical traditional
No. 10 and Modric as one of the new breed. Here's a snippet:
He's maybe not going to push players around, but with his quickness of feet, and his balance and his vision he'll cope. He's really special. He's a player who's really comfortable on the ball. People enjoy having him in the team. He's quick of thought. Good with both feet, can run all day long, and he plays football. He's got a great future."
