At 39, Luka Modric does not seem to hang up the crampons. As proof of it for its performance against the French team with Croatia (2-0) this Thursday in the quarter-final first leg of the League of Nations.
While the Blues are far from having illustrated themselves in the best of the ways, drawing many criticisms from observers in France, Modric, he received praise from Alain Giresse. The 1984 European champion was particularly won over in the face of the performance of the Captain of the Vatreni, however to the twilight of his formidable career.
A football and endurance science model
“I am of course admiring Modric, who has both the science of football and the ability to repeat efforts. The symbol of his dazzling performance, which represents the demonstration of the way in which his team was able to approach the match, is the way he returned to Mbappé, in the surface, towards the end “, analyzed the Girondin.
For the return match, Modric and his own therefore leave with a nice advantage in the score that they will try to defend. Didier Deschamps' Blues, on the other hand, will have no choice but to show another face to hope to reach the Final Four.
