From Croatia, Luka Modric and a message for Carlo Ancelotti and Madrid

Luka Modric faces a great commitment with his Croatian team, on FIFA date, at which time his country will seek qualification for the highest national team tournament in the summer of 2024, in Germany. Before that, Croatia will have to face a very difficult rival, the Turkish team and next Sunday the country of Wales, in a group that it shares with two other teams: Armenia and Latvia. Croatia leads the standings along with its rival tomorrow, so this will be a decisive game for the classification of both.

The talented Real Madrid midfielder is not spending his best moments with the merengue team, the various options on the playing field and the work that Carlo Ancelotti, has imposed on other players have relieved him of the substitutes' area and have not allowed him to have greater participations, at the beginning of this season both in LaLiga and in the UEFA Champions League, at which time controversy has aroused from the different media and the millions of fans who have questioned the coach's decisions for not taking him into account in all the games from the beginning.

Given this, Luka Modric answered the following questions from the press: "Well, it is certainly a new situation for me not to play as much as before and as much as I would like. You know that I always want to play, I don't want to have breaks, I don't want to have vacation. I want to play because that's when I feel better and that way I prepare better for the games," referring to his few minutes in the merengue team, at the beginning of the season.

On the other hand, the Croatian National Team footballer mentioned that his moment at the Santiago Bernabéu, is something that he continues to carry in this stretch of the season: “This is the situation now and it could have some advantages for the future, so We'll see, but I don't want that. I want to play if necessary every three days because I feel good physically. Another story would be if I don't feel good, but I feel good physically and mentally...everything that happens around me is a normal process, so I just accept it that way. I have to prepare myself mentally for this situation, accept it and move forward," highlights Modric, hoping to have more minutes over the course of the season.
