This was confirmed by Igli Tare in a press conference given to journalists late last month. As the sporting director revealed, the plan is to inject some leadership and experience into the midfield, something Modric obviously brings in abundance.
Modric receives praise
Tudor spoke in the post-match press conference after his side were knocked out of the FIFA Club World Cup by Real Madrid. Modric came off the bench, and completed 19 out of his 19 passes.
“What can I say about Modric? Croatia has a population of four million people: someone like him is born every 300 years. He is a source of pride for the entire country,” he said (via MilanNews).
“As a player you all see him, but as a person he is the same and people may not know that. I hope he continues to be different because he is only 40 years old.”
Every 300 years ?? Woww Hold up bro Tudor relaxx..
in the past, Croatian football have lots of talent like prosinecki / boban. Maybe they are more talented than modric but at that time Croatian football still young for European football…
Incomparable. Modric has about x10 major titles from those 2 put together. And a Ballon d’or. Who was more talented is irrelevant, talent is maybe 30% of success…if Prosinecki wasn’t smoking a pack of Red Marlboro a say he would maybe go further, but he did smoke.
