2018 World Cup: Luka Modrić is the best player of the World Cup

"Luka w pamięci" Modrić

Exactly one year ago, Modrić was on everyone's lips, but not by a thrilling game. One of the most popular Croatian footballers has become in his homeland not a number 1 "sports enemy", but … "2" already the most. What happened? It appeared that Modricia had a lot in common with Zdravko Mamic, the most corrupt militant in the history of Croatian football.

Mamić, as Executive Director of Dinamo Zagreb, embezzled huge sums of money. When he was a football agent, he liked to make money on his side, not necessarily honestly. In 2009, he was sued by a Croatian representative, Eduardo da Silva, who accused him of negotiating an unfavorable contract. Later, it turned out that 25% of the sum for signing on the contract of the Brazilian footballer went to the accounts of Mamicia and his family.

Modrić supported the football activist without protests. It turned out that the two men signed a contract whereby the player transferred to Tottenham Hotspur had to share the income with Mamic. Officially, a portion of the profits from the transfer had to go to Dinama Zagreb, which Modricia sold to England, but most of the money landed on the account of a former football agent . Luka Modrić knew exactly what he had admitted in his testimony, but he withdrew from it, although he personally made transfers to Croatia and knew who would receive the transfer.

This has been repeated at every slice of Tottenham. Modrić finally gave Mamica the equivalent of more than 8 million euros. Wearing less than two. The footballer's testimony coincided with what Mismitch had admitted on his wall and it seemed that Modrić was going to plunge the accused. So, however, the inconceivable thing has become. A player in the courtroom asked him to read his testimony twice and then said that he did not remember anything. He answered yes to all the questions, including the one in which he started on the national team. All he had to do was confirm his previous testimony and bring down the old boss. Instead, he plunged

Modrić – "Izdajnik" – or traitor

Fans of Croatian clubs began calling Modricia at every possible opportunity. It was so close that the arrogant leader of the hated club received a well-deserved punishment. Fans of Hajduk Split often and do not sing the cheers "Modrić, Modrić, little ch …". In Dinama Zagreb, who lost a lot of money, it was claimed that not only Mamić, but also Modrić would go to jail for many years. Dejan Lovren, also a friend of the Mamicia family, had a similar problem.

The quietest supporters demanded that Modrić return the armband immediately. Why is it covered with amnesia? There was a possibility that he was afraid for his family. In Croatia, the tentacles of Mamicia were reaching far, and apparently even some judges and prosecutors were sitting in their pockets. In addition, the apartment of another witness, the day of one of the hearings, was looted. However, we can never know the truth.

Outraged fans hung t-shirts with the number "10" that Modrić wore and instead of the last name with the word "Izdajnik" means a traitor. The attitude towards the player did not discourage only the breeders who constantly called him. When the Croatian team played well in qualifying until now, she began to stoop, demanding that the recent superstar leave the team. Zlatko Dalić, who took him as a firefighter, did not change anything. Modrić was also captain with him. The Croatians won "a match for everything with Ukraine" 2: 0, and on both goals helped no one else than Modrić. In play-offs with Greece, he dismissed the ball with goals.

At the Luka World Cup, Modrić was one of the biggest stars of the Croatian national team. He charmed, dribbled and helped. His position only wavered when he did not score a penalty in a match against Denmark. However, Vatrani did not see the winning path that led them to the finals. Even before this fact, the admiration of the Modricia person did not hide the old stars who, 20 years ago, won in France a small final, or match for third place. – Luka Modrić is the best Croatian footballer in history – said Robert Prosinecki, stating clearly that such a player could easily find a place in the eleven forts of his idols from years ago . The realistic footballer with the staff began to write a new story.

Now for the Golden Ball

Luka was six years old when her family had to flee her home in 1991 after the Serbs attacked her place. His grandfather was murdered, among others, and no one worried about killing a civilian. Little Luka and his parents were staying in Zadar, in a small hotel, where he was not sure either.

However, he survived the war and little Luka from the local football school took his first sports steps. As a child, he went to Hajduk Split, but there he was quickly kidnapped, because no one knew his talent at all. More or less in the same way that Robert Lewandowski was not wanted in Legia Warsaw. From Zadar, after a while, Modrić moved to Dinamo Zagreb with his coach. – Luka Modric had a predisposition to become a great footballer, but people took him for a physically weak person – said Tomislav Basić, who always believed in the talent of his protégé

In Dinam Modrić showed what that he could do, wandering first for loans to HSK Zrinjski Mostar and Interu Zapresić. At that time, he called all cadres of Croatian youth possible. In 2005, he finally won his place in the first team of Dinamo. He spent three and a half seasons in the club, winning six trophies on the way. The transition station in the career of a talented footballer was London and Tottenham. He quickly became one of Rooster's main players, without whom he could not imagine the composition. He went to Real Madrid for 35 million euros.

Slight Luka also began to lead the Croatian national team. He rarely returned, but he gave his partners precise passes. If there were comparisons of his person with another player, then the player was most often Lionel Messi. The long-haired Croatian was moving a bit like that on the ground, not removing the ball, even though there were several rivals nearby. – If there is justice, Luka should receive the Golden Ball! This is not a player who does not dribble just to get some goals, but to help the team. He is our most important player in the last ten years – said Croatian commentator Anton Samovojska.

Luka Modrić, who recently lost a lot at the World Cup, he built his monument again. He became the best footballer in the World Cup and was hunted down by Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. The footballer is on everyone's lips again. We do not know what the Croatian prosecutor's office will do with all this. The case of Mamicia is not over yet and Modrici is risking up to five years in prison.
