What happened to Croatia? I heard that Modric was so sad that he sat on the ground and hugged his head and cried? When I swiped this news, I was stunned... Originally, they were the favorites to win the European Cup! As a result, the group stage is now going to be game over in advance, and this plot reversal is too exciting, right?
Not to mention, Croatia played really hard this time. After a 3-0 defeat in the first round and a 2-2 draw with Albania in the second round, they were about to pack up and go home early. The most distressing thing is the 38-year-old Modric, people say that veterans don't die, but they are just withering, but the magic flute is obviously running out of oil and the lamp is dry. Although his rating is as high as 8.1 points, it can be said that he has worked very hard, but no matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to turn the tide.
Everyone probably knows that Modric has led Croatia to the World Cup final. This European Championship may be the last time for him to play for his country in his career. After losing to Argentina, the Magic Flute choked up and said, "I don't know if I can play in the tournament again." It can be seen that the great midfield maestro has a love for his parent team in his bones.
It's a pity that God is jealous of talent, no matter how hard Modric tries, he can't withstand the destruction of time. In this game, Modric's figure is everywhere, shooting left and right, attacking and defending, it is simply a machine that never stops. But the sharp breakthrough and accurate passing of the youth are no longer the same as they used to be. At the age of 38, he wants to fight spiritually, but his body can't keep up. Looking at his sad expression after the game, I don't know how many fans cried for it.
When Croatia ate the equaliser in the 95th minute, Modric's heart must have collapsed. From heaven to hell, in an instant. As a captain, watching victory slip through my fingertips, the feeling of powerlessness is indescribable. At this moment, he sat down on the grass, hugging his head and crying, as if he could no longer bear the burden of loss. Who can truly understand the mixed feelings of this veteran?
It is said that there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. The magic flute is not a perpetual motion machine after all, no matter how great he is, there will be a day when the oil runs out. Croatia still have one last game to go, and there may be little hope against Italy. How long will Modric be able to fight for his country? No one knows. Maybe this is his "last stage" in the Croatian jersey.
Whatever the outcome, we owe a tribute to this great player. From a shy boy to a world-class midfielder who is a household name, Modric has used his hard work and talent to complete the transformation that many players dream of. Maybe Croatia is out of the game early, maybe Modric is old, but that sincere heart to fight for the country is always worthy of our admiration. Hats off to Luka Modric, you are the flag of Croatia that never falls!
