Luka Modric is happily 37 years old and at the World Cup in Qatar, he is ready to... offer a 'last dance' at the top level of national teams, once again helping his national team achieve their best.
The great Croatian midfielder, a real leader today Wednesday (23/11) in the match against Morocco (0-0), with the aim of course of winning which will play an important role for the sequel which is predicted to be extremely difficult. Against Morocco, he was elected Man in the Match.
A key "cog" in Carlo Ancelotti's "machine" at Real Madrid, Luka Modric, is... the father of the new generation of "merenges", such as 20-year-old Eduardo Camavinga or Aurelien Tchouameni.
Luka, who has had a difficult childhood, does not want to stop in "Old Epirus". Four years after the great disappointment in Moscow (including a 4-2 defeat by France in the World Cup final) and the "Golden Ball" he won in 2018 was not enough to console him. Now the Croatian ball artist is looking to get his hands on what will undoubtedly be his last World Cup.

His coach at Real Carlo Ancelotti says characteristically: "I think he can continue. He feels fresh, very motivated in every training session. I believe it will continue. He is a fantastic footballer, with incredible skills. He is lucky to have never had a major injury in his career. At 37, he is still one of the best midfielders in Europe."
For his part, Luka Modric emphasizes: "There was always, a lot of skepticism towards me, about my qualities, my style of play and my physique. People said I was too weak to reach the top level. But this adversity did not bother me. On the contrary, it motivates me even more", the short Croatian football player had declared at one point, saying meaningfully: "I'm not afraid of anything, I may be shy but I'm not afraid".
In Doha, fans know they will be watching one of the best midfielders of the 21st century live. In fact, Modric, who is Real Madrid's third player in shirt sales (behind Vinicius and Karim Benzema), has found fans, even in Qatar, where everyone is dressed in Croatia's away shirt and idolizes him at every opportunity.
And in West Bay, where the mission of the Croatian national team has been catalyzed, an entire building has been covered for several days by a giant photo of Modric. So how can he not be both ambitious and optimistic about this year's course of his national team....
