Modric Talks About His Future with the Croatian National Team

Midfielder Luka Modric has announced that he is not ending his career with the Croatian national team. “We wanted a gold medal and we were close to achieving that. We can be proud of our game and return home as winners. Success at the national team level is very important to me, and I am happy. Our team has grown significantly, and now our victories are not miracles that happen once every twenty years. I can no longer perceive our team as the dark horse; we are a force to be reckoned with. The future of our team is bright. Some players were attending a major tournament for the first time and immediately won medals. It took me 12 years, and I went through everything in the world. They should appreciate what they have achieved. Yes, maybe this is my last game in the World Cup, but I can’t say anything for certain. I will continue playing for the Croatian national team in the Nations League. After that, we will see what happens next,” Marca quotes the Real Madrid player.

Recall that today, December 17, in the match for third place in the ongoing World Cup in Qatar, the Croatian national team defeated Morocco with a score of 2:1. The Croatian national team players have won medals in the tournament for the second consecutive World Cup, but while the previous medals were silver, this time they were of a different sheen.
