The power of the shot really was enough, but the ball just brushed past the post. It was such a pity that sighs of regret instantly rose around Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked at the empty goal and couldn't help shaking his head, seeming rather dissatisfied with his own performance.
"Let me try."
Seeing even the best striker in the world miss, the pressure in Modric's heart naturally eased a lot.
After all, if Cristiano Ronaldo had scored and he alone missed, that would have been a bit embarrassing.
"Whew…"
Since Modric usually plays in midfield, once he really smashes a shot, it's hard for him to pull back on the power. So this strike of his was fierce and heavy, in no way weaker than Cristiano Ronaldo's in terms of power, but the ball simply turned into an anti‑aircraft shell, flying high over the crossbar. It couldn't help but remind people of that lyric: "I want to fly even higher."
Modric spread his hands helplessly, his face a mix of crying and laughing.
