Referring to Zidane, De Bruyne and Modric s departure, I am afraid that I will not be able to recover if I have not had 5 years.

Unfortunately, just this summer, in the just-concluded Premier League and La Liga, the two midfield masters, De Bruyne and Modric, have also ended their careers at Manchester City and Real Madrid.
As for whether these two players will still represent the team in the Club World Cup or where their next stop is, this is actually a story later. After all, the departure of these two people will inevitably have a huge impact on the midfields of Manchester City and Real Madrid. What impact will the departure of a midfielder master have on a team? Perhaps from the list of the offensive & organizational midfielders recently selected by SCORE 90, we can see the indispensableness of the No. 10-positional brain to the team!
S90 selected the top ten midfielders of the 21st century, and Zidane undoubtedly ranked first, but unfortunately, Kroos and Modric de Bruyne were both selected but they were all leaving

Among the top five offensive midfielders in the 21st century selected by S90, De Bruyne, who will leave Manchester City this summer, ranks third, second only to the incomparable Zidane and Kaka, the 2007 World Football + Golden Globe winner. Behind him are former Manchester City player Silva and the left-footed midfielder who has played for Real Madrid in Germany.
Although it is difficult to blame Kaka all the lows of AC Milan in the past decade, after winning the seventh Champions League trophy in team history in 2007, Milan's eighth trophy does seem far away - when will the glory of Milan City be reproduced, perhaps Milan can only wait for the arrival of the next "Kaka";
In this case, Manchester City's new season may be difficult. Although De Bruyne has not been in absolute health in the past two years, the importance he is to Manchester City is self-evident. But the more important question is, without his precise guidance, who else can make cakes for Haaland in Manchester City?

If Manchester City is a bit worrying, Real Madrid is "adding insult to injury" - in the selection of the 21st century organizational midfield masters, Real Madrid has been losing for two consecutive years. If Kroos' departure last season had already made Real Madrid top-heavy, Modric's withdrawal would even exacerbate this situation.
Recalling the impact of Zidane and Iniesta's departure on France/Real Madrid, Spain/Barcelona, it is indeed worrying how Real Madrid in the new season will deal with the gap in the midfield - whether to introduce McAllister, Enzo or Vitinia in the summer window, or whether Alonso designs new tactics to reduce the transition of ball rights in the middle.
Overall, perhaps the only hope of Alonso taking over the "this mess" is to find the standard No. 10 position to activate the team.

Zidane's departure in 2006 made the French team not return to the public's sight until 2016, and Real Madrid became the Champions League Sixteen at that time.
What will Manchester City and Real Madrid look like in the new season? This is worrying but also a bit exciting.
After "giving up" Werz, Foden may be appointed as the successor of De Bruyne. But by the way, this candidate...

Can Foden, who has no form in the 23/24 season, really support Manchester City's midfield vacancy after De Bruyne left? Perhaps giving up Wiltz is a choice that he had to make from a financial perspective, but in fact, Manchester City will undoubtedly need to supplement the midfield this summer.
Rumors de Ketrare was recognized by Guardiola, but it seems that he has not seen any movement in Manchester City...

De Bruyne's departure, Gundogan's aging and Rodri's serious injury recovery. When Manchester City's midfielder presents such a difficult problem, perhaps everyone hopes that time can go back and recreate the team's former peak.
But it is not easy for the Blue Moon to return to its peak now!
Real Madrid's problem seems to be more difficult. If Manchester City hopes to go back in time, then Real Madrid also hopes that Alonso can be 15 years younger

Who should Real Madrid control the ball next season and choose the direction of the promotion and the important mission of the last pass? In the past, this question could be left to Teacher Tony's "Immortal Guide" and the "Master Conduction" of Magic Flute, but who will take over now? Valverde, Guillail or Bellingham's retreat?
The big problem with Real Madrid in the early 21st century was Zidane dependence. In the middle of the third decade of the 21st century, Tony and Magic Flute's dependence will probably be presented in Real Madrid's season in the new season.
Of course, it is impossible to say how bad Real Madrid, which has Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham, will be, but how good it is, unless coach Alonso is in his teens younger, he can center to dispatch the midfield.
