Modric, Modric, Modric ... After the World Cup this is the name that we hear the most every day, managing to take Croatia to the semifinal of the 2018 World Cup. He is a great player, but ... Do you deserve all the accolades? We think: Win 3 consecutive Champions League with Real Madrid, it is not a Xavi, not least an Iniesta which never won the Golden Ball even if they won Champions with the barsa, eurocopa with Spain, and World Respectively.
This 2018 the Croatian player is awarded as: Best Player of the World Cup Russia 2018, Best Player of Europe 2018, FIFA The Best 2018 and Golden Ball 2018, passing over Griezman, Messi, Mbappe, Cristiano, Varane. In a recent interview Modric comments:
"The Golden Ball is not just for the player who makes the most goals ..."
He is right, but what happened in 2010 when Spain is champion and neither Iniesta nor Xavi are left with the award? This time if they fulfilled giving him the FIFA award, or Belonging to a great and influential club is the answer? We can speculate, there are different points of view, but I think that if the ball would be in the hands of Griezman, this wave of comments would not be generated, for more and the merits of modric are sought, everything falls into: "I am taking Croatia, a humble country, small, to the semifinal of the world ... ", this response when there are no more arguments.
