Croatia’s midfield marshall Luka Modric gave his country’s near-four million population something more to cheer about besides the World Cup third-place medal he helped them clinch, beating Morocco 2-1 at the Khalifa Stadium on Saturday night.
Not done at 37
Modric, who, at 37 years, 99 days, became the oldest player to have played for Croatia in the FIFA World Cup, revealed after the game that he will continue to don the Croatian red and white chequered shirt. “About my future, I’m not quite sure if I will be [playing] till the Euro [2024] in Germany. We will wait and see about that. But I’m enjoying playing with the national team, I feel happy, and I still think that I can perform on a high level, so I want to continue till the Nations League at least. I need to take it step by step. After the Nations League, there will be more than enough time to think about the Euro,” the Real Madrid star said moments after the win over Morocco which he celebrated with his children on the Khalifa turf.
