Luka Modric was the best footballer of 2018 – driving Real Madrid to Champions League glory and taking Croatia to an unprecedented World Cup 2018 final.
Goal visited Modric’s childhood home and the hotel he fled to as a refugee in a Croatia ripped apart by war to find out how a kid from a mountain side farm in Modrici became a world-beating footballer.
Check out the full Modric feature from Goal’s chief correspondent Peter Staunton: http://www.goal.com/story/goal502018modricen/index.html

Cool guy, great personality; genius.
Just imagine for one sec, if Yougoslavia didn't get divided, the amazing national football team they would've had… The best in the world, by far.
Btw I could say the same thing for handball, basketball, tennis … This part of Europe is a real factory, making talented players in all sports.
And i'm a french Handball player saying that.
hahaha..Ovaj se javno hvali da je izlevao Modrica za zadnju placu. To Hrvatska samo kradi..
Bosnian Premier League is butchers league, not as much as back then. But back then Dinamo – Hajduk was The Butchers Game! This fuck Mamic should know that. Referee was heard more often than in game of american football.
this is victory for football
Placaj poreze smrade
Tuzan je to dan bil kad si otisel iz dinama RESPECT BRATE
As a Croatian i have to say they portrayed Mamic in a wrong way…he is a THIEF..yes he helped Modric financially in his beggining but it wasnt tons of money he bought him cleets food and rented an apartment i guess…but Mamic took half of the 22.5 million € transfer ..which is 11 million..and modric got the the other half which is 11 million and Mamics son who was Modrics agent took half of Lukas splitted money so Luka eneded up with 5.5 million…from a transfer which he was all responsible afir no one else but him earned it by himself..and Mamic had a contract for which Luka had to give him a part of his earned money throughout his WHOLE CAREER
kolike su sanse da se rodis tu di i Luka, da zivis tu di i Luka, i postignes to sto postignes i budes to sto budes!?!???….to su geni kameni, nemore to strani covik nikad razumit i uvik ce se cudit…Luki Modriću svaka čast, čudo nad čudima…..Volim te Hrvatsko <3
Luka makes all the players around him better

LUKA MODRIC 2018 BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD <3

Luka deserves every trophy. He is the best.
I RONALDO
As a Croatian, it's cringeworthy that you can't pronounce his last name right. If he can't get that respect as a Ballon d'Or winner, I'm not sure he'll ever get what he deserves.
We love you Luka, its so hard to explain what it mens to be a croat because its so hard and crazy but in a same time so beautiful
The whole Croatia hates Mamič the idiot.
Typical English anti Croatian propaganda. Who says the Serbs are our greatest enemies. They are just the stupid puppets of the English masonry. Their tools. Worst thing is when the English hold lessons about genocide to others. They are the most genecidal people in the world. Just look at India and Australia. In Tasmania (a state of Australia that is a huge island) they killed every one of them. Every single one

Fatal error in translation. Whether or not Mamic is telling 'the truth', his opening regarding "As he was leaving in…"
he SAID 2004, while translated as 2008. This is a material misrepresentation of his argument.
He needs a better documentary
ja sam iz hrvatske
Tottenham did not deserve him.
One of the best midfielders i ve ever seen .
Modric was never criticized by Croatian people, just the lying media and jealous neighbors.
Luka Modric is the best 🙌
