Modric and Dzeko both came out of war torn countries in their childhood and both are still performing at top level at 38 years old! Two Balkan Legends of the game.
Dzeko? Top level? He has never been top level.
@@davorbajlovic3136you’re a casual who started watching after the 2018 wc shush Dzeko is a legend
He literally saved city in the title race years back 😂😂 what are you on@@davorbajlovic3136
@@choko_moose6043don’t waste your breath on guys like this bro,
Seems like most of the hype around modric is sympathy
Most important CM in RM's History. FACTS. Maybe the best CM ever. Its him and iniesta for me. His longevity might put him at the top.
Hands down my favorite player of the last 10 years. Everything about him is top.
I wish Modric to become Real Madrid's head coach in the future!
He will become one of the best coaches the world has ever seen. Mark my words
Ancelotti just invited him to become part of his management staff, if Modric decides to retire after EuroCup.
He deserves a proper send off ceremony whenever he retires. In the mean time, he may make the next WC 👏🏽
And lift a trophy
What makes Luka Modric special is his well rounded ability and all of the tools that he has in his locker has made him such a phenomenal midfielder. He’s more of a deep lying playmaker a box to box midfielder and a number 8. The guy is an expert at controlling the pace and tempo of games, he’s a very good ball passer with the amount of chances he creates whether it’s from deep and in the advanced positions of the field, he can pull out a trivela pass out of nowhere and this is his signature pass that we’ve seen him do time and time again and he’s also an engine with a ridiculous work rate. He’s another one of those players who have to be closely watched during a game in order for people to truly appreciate their value and how good they are because whenever he plays he has so much influence in the game it’s very unparalleled to find so many ways to be a difference maker during games and it’s not like he has some of the most dominant statistics I’ve ever seen as he doesn’t need to be a goalscoring midfielder like Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard, he’s an attacking and defensive midfielder combined.
He did start his career off as a number 10, a traditional playmaker, but as we all know, that role doesn’t exist in football anymore. Luka Modric has had to redefine his game just to cope with the demands and tactical changes of modern football and this has helped him become one of the greatest midfielders we’ve ever seen because not only does he have a very unique skillset on the ball with a range of short and long passes, he’s willing to do some defensive work from here and there and that’s an aspect of his game that isn’t always talked about and his profile is exactly what managers want from players in modern football. Marcelo Bielsa recently said a player who attacks like a 10 and defends like a 6, he calls it the Modric the number 8 role and players like him that were attacking midfielders had to evolve and that’s another special thing about his career. Most of the success that he’s had in his career has been at Real Madrid, with the Croatia national team he has been their best player the face of the team in major tournaments where they’ve exceeded expectations in recent World Cups. He peaked later in his career I get that, but for athletes it’s so difficult to maintain your high level of performances in your late 30s, even if this season hasn’t been vintage Modric he’s a perfect professional in a sense that despite his playing time being limited because of the emergence of Jude Bellingham and the other young midfielders on Real Madrid, he’s accepted his role as a squad player as has continued to look like a class act on the field whether he comes off the bench or gets a rare start. He’s one of the best players I’ve ever seen and Luka Modric absolutely deserves to be in the same sentence as Xavi Andres Iniesta and Zinedine Zidane and you know how good you have to be when you’re in the same conversation as these midfield greats. Most of the success that he’s had in his career has been at Real Madrid, with the Croatia national team he has been their best player the face of the team in major tournaments where they’ve exceeded expectations in recent World Cups.
I am from Croatia, I am 38 years old...So i even remember when He started playing for Dinamo(I am from Zagreb,and Dinamo is in our blood)! every one knew that he is the man who give his all and more on top of that, since his position in field aquare great strainght and a lot of runing...no ove expected him to play same position, or at any position fo so long,even with his 38 years old. I beleive that he is humble guy, with golden hart and a nice soul...he is honestly humble just like he was in old days. Sometime I feeel like he is reading his tim members mind...he will create oportunity to his team to get a goal,and be on the cover of some magazines, even he could get same score alone. that is a value of that kind of person, live for the tim and not for his glory-no mather what! I hope that he will be able to play at least few years from now in same place and indurance like a someone with 25 years old. Someone had too show junger players that with talent and speed, and playing for the team can be posible. now he had great reflexes,a big kwnolege,and on top of that crazzy speed and indurance. that kinde of players in same club can win enything!! Luka,you are a legend!
A key player for any team he's in. The way he reads the game is just brilliant.
Will forever be one of my favorite players
When he was at tottenham I was hoping barca would get him.
And Ivan Rakitic did great in barca. But a small part of me will always wonder how would have modric done especially playing alongside messi. With the work ethic ive seen in him. I really think he would have been amazing in barca too.
He is amazing anywhere you put him bro.
@@markmusic5303 ahh man he really is watched him almost religiously before he went to madrid next to gareth bale because that shit was just as magical to watch.
@@davidsaucedo5287 he is playing everywhere man, I am from Croatia and I follow him religiously like you say, too, because of the real beauty there, such a ball control and mind control bro, you dig that, cheers man
Named player of the year of bosnian premier league 2003/04, and when he came to Inter Zapresic (small club in the suburbs), bossed the Croatian league and took them to first place in half season, when dinamo finally realised what a diamond they have and called him back. The rest is history, or should I say present. 20 years of masterclass and still rocking 👊🏼
modric, for me, is at least top 5 midfielders of all time. he wasn’t graced with amazing opportunities straight off rip like the other legends, he had to work the hardest out of everyone despite so much criticism. and the fact that at his old age, he still plays for a top league and hasn’t went to a lesser league or retired, and is STILL performing great. you can’t hate the man🥲
People don’t understand that modric peaked late, unlike many legends
at least? Zidane, Modric, Kroos, Iniesta, Xavi are the top 5 cms of all time.
@Niimerium Zidane just doesn't belong in that list. He was immensely talented and a big game player, but week in week out in La liga his performances weren't at the level if Modrics. Somewhat like Scholes, he's been romanticised after his retirement.
@frequentclearance9641 Ah yes just look at LaLiga, like he didnt play Serie A or for France as well.
Are you seriously comparing scholes to Zidane?
Zizou absolutely belongs in that list and has the number one spot not number two but number one and this is a list that people with brain agree upon Universally with or without bias on their players and every single midfielders put zidane as number one as well as well as top coaches also having said that he's achievements on the pitch also speaks for itself as well as his talent and ability.
@@mehulsingla6539 he didnt peak late, just hindered by mediocre teams technically he was alerady great since he came to totenham, had him born in spain he enter madrid since he turn 20.
Ah man that croatia team had some of the greatest grit ive seen of almost any team. And no it wasnt just modric.
Croatias midfield would outrun, outdefend and outpass almost any team they faced.
The 2018 team had it all, the 2022 team lacked a proper striker but our defense was never more solid, with the addition of Gvardiol.
bro RMA 2014-2018 was SCARY
Almost every single player were the best in their positions
What a player I’m blessed I grew up watching such a beast
I wish Chelsea signed Luka, he would’ve balled with a prime Hazard. Imagine the midfield with Prime Kante, Matic, Fabregas,Lampard and Luka 😍😍😍
A lot of players some of them has rough beginnings to their childhood yet Luka Modric went from dealing with war in Croatia to now being one of the best midfielders of all time.
He’s had such a very successful career and it wasn’t always easy as he was a good player on Tottenham, initially there were doubts about whether he could play in the Premier League and a string of brilliant performances silenced those critics. In his debut season at Real Madrid, he took a lot of time to settle on a star studded team and after he was voted as the worst signing in La Liga history, as they say the rest is history. Under Carlo Ancelotti then Zinedine Zidane, he was an integral part of why Real Madrid won 4 champions league titles in 5 seasons and won a 3peat of UCL titles from 2016-2018 and along with Toni Kroos and Casemiro, formed an excellent midfield trio that helped the team control games and win the midfield battles. Cristiano Ronaldo got all the headlines for his goals which was understandable, but Luka Modric played an equally important role to Real Madrid’s European success as well and without him they don’t win those UCL titles. Even in 2022, despite being 36, he was very critical in helping Real Madrid win another champions league title. He didn’t have success at just club level, for the Croatia national team, he took them to a World Cup final in 2018 and got them to the semifinals in 2022 and to do that on Croatia out of all countries is phenomenal and you wonder why he won the Golden Ball in 2018 and the Bronze Ball in 2022. His Ballon dor win in 2018 was controversial and a lot of people believe that he shouldn’t have won, the only significant thing I would say about Luka Modric winning the Ballon dor is that it ended the 10 year streak of Messi and Ronaldo and it’s true without voters fatigue he wouldn’t have won, in an era where attackers get all the recognition for their goals, even if he shouldn’t have won, it just shows that you don’t always need to have the most goals and assists to be the best player in the world and win these individual accolades. It was good for him that he has a Ballon Dor to his name. Modric has also shown that age is just a number for him and the fact that at 38 he’s still playing at this level and has been playing at an elite level in his 30s it’s simply just greatness from him and he’s been one of the most consistent players in the last decade and has shown that he isn’t a one season wonder when he has gotten better and better with age. During his time at Real Madrid and what he has done on the Croatia national team, he always has his best performances in the big games champions league World Cup etc, produces on the big stage and delivers in high profile moments like his 2 assists in 2 separate champions league finals against Atletico Madrid in 2014 and Juventus in 2017, his masterclass in the 2018 final against Liverpool, his display against England in the semifinals in 2018, who can forget about that sublime assist in the champions league quarterfinals against Chelsea in 2022 as he was dominating the midfield against some of the best teams in Europe on the biggest of stages. He wouldn’t be the player that he is today had he not faced so many challenges in his childhood and his career.
I ain’t reading all of that

From goats to GOAT
Even in his days at Tottenham, I often labelled Modric as the best Central midfielder (no 8) in Europe surpassed by only Xavi Hernandez of Barcelona... Equally convinced he needed to move a bigger Club to explode big time.... And boy.....!! Did he at Real Madrid !!!!! ⚽
Let me tell you something very few people know outside Croatia....Zvonimir Boban and Luka Modric were rejected as players by Hajduk Split claiming they are weak,skinny,not fit for football. Both ended in Dinamo which is greatest club in Croatia and powerhouse in producing players and both became legends. Boban at his own right as legend of Milan and Luka as general overall legend that is active player and one of greatest players in history of sport.
He will even dethrone Puskas being the oldest player ever played for Real. I guess that Luka will play for at least 2 more years....I hope to see him at next world cup leading us to finals again
If Luka had won the world cup we would be saying he is the greatest of all time
I am still hoping for him to do that in 2026., mark my words.
ur channel deserves more subscribes nice depth in every video
Informative video. Great pronunciation of names!
I love your videos I have watched all of them
Modric might be o e of the best players to ever compet in football. For me much better than Xavi comparable to Iniesta. Better than Zidane Gullit Lampard Gerrad. He s never going to be mentioned as one of the goats because he s not so spectaluar as forwards but he s magician. This guy is like Messi but slower and less agressive with the ball and more without. Guy is incredible
Much better than Xavi. ?These modern Kids never ever watched Xavi and all blah blah blah...Xavi was best CM from 90s arguably. Xavi completely controlled the match and was most crucial player of Barca and in world in both 08/09- 6 trophy season and 09/10,even influential than Messi and Iniesta
@@user-bi5nw4vp6t I ve seen Xavi play and for me Modric is still better
@@user-bi5nw4vp6twhere was fatsoe Xavi when Deco was at the club? Modric is a hybrid of Deco/Pirlo/Iniesta while being defense pressing monster like Nedved or Kante. Even still. Watched how he destroyed Celta last night? Truly unique player and that's why most valuable MF to have
@@Dadonakis Xavi was there in 2005 was la liga player of season. Then injury lost form and then from 08-12 he was the greatest of mids.He was best player in world 08/09,09/10 and top 3 or 4 until 12. Name the years Modric was top 5 ??
@@user-bi5nw4vp6t what are you blabering, little fatsoe best player in the world 🤣
He heated bench and carried water for Deco, and was replaced by Rakitic 10 YRS ago, next day no one rememberd him, Barca won CL that season
My favorite player!!
Yes i love it. Great story and will be told many more times to come, espc in like 5 years when he finally retires from Real Madrid :)

Love your content keep going ❤❤
Hey mate, really good and objective analysis. Have to disagree; however, regarding the ballon d'or. He won the Club World Cup and was voted best player of the tournament, He came 2nd in the World Cup with a Croatia team who were nowhere near favourites and won player of the tournament. Won UCL and voted best midfielder. Goalscoring stats aren't enough to be voted the best player. It's difficult to gauge how much a player positively and negatively influences a game and an overall season, but I think he had the overall least negative and most positive influence of all players on his teams in that year. It would be interesting to do an in depth analysis on how much negative influence players have on their teams - Cristiano Ronaldo would be a good example because of his less refined link up play. But more so, even though he has a mindset that influences many of his teammates to become better, some of them also become worse. This is definitely not the case with Modric on these 2 points, he runs the speed of the game better than anyone else (a conversation Cristiano Ronaldo is no it) and his psychological influence is positive on all the players he plays with, they become better footballers, winners and they serve the team, all aspects of Modric's characteristics. Seeming that I'm using Cristiano Ronaldo as the example, Portugal with and without him is not a problem for Portugal, quite possibly they are an overall better team without him now. The 2016 Euro win is also misleading if we're to say that he lead them, as they seemed quite lucky - they didn't win a group stage game, they then played Croatia, Poland and Wales to make the final, and Cristiano was injured for the final. The point I'm trying to get at, he is a phenomenal player who will go down in the history of football as one of the all time greats with incredible winning mentality and influence on his teammates, but it's difficult to gauge a player's overall influence from stats, and certainly not from just goalscoring stats. Modric was the best in 2018 is my opinion. Great Video!
Make one on Rakitic right now!
my GOAT
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Modric's injuries in the 2014-15 season is the only reason Real Madrid didn't get 5 straight champions leagues.
That's why they didn't win SF. But final to Barca. MSN in peak I think they had advantage.
This was a good video. I just hate the title. Horrendous click bait
Not really tbh, there’s alot of people that don’t know about modrics dark past
@@pedtalkssportsit’s true that a lot of people don’t know about Modrics past but a lot of things get hyperbolised in this video. At 00:27 the title gets restated as “The journey of Luke Modric” which is much closer to what the video is about but doesn’t grab everyone’s attention like the actual title. There’s also Zidane in front of a French flag in the thumbnail and that takes up half of the thumbnail when Zidane isn’t even mentioned for half the video. Like I said, I really enjoyed the video but the click bait left a sour taste in my mouth
❤
Classic Tottenham! Trying to stop great players from winning trophies because their club cannot win one! I respect their dedication!
Dude, in 2018. Messi and Ronaldo did score more goals but I don't remember Portugal and Argentina reaching the finals of WC. So WC is the reason why Modrić has won Ballon d'or and don't play it down without respect.
Actually true. His club performance was not great...it was way better in 17. And in WC he was good but not great. Just hyped Because of underdog team and background. The best 2 in that world cup was Griezman and Hazard
@@user-bi5nw4vp6t I don't think you know what defensive midfielder means, in 2017/2018 he was in starting 11 and leading Real to the great season, even in 2018 they had 4 trophies. When it comes to defensive role and key passes to create opportunities Modrić was the best.
Hype? More like a true underdog moment for Croatian football. Even if Modrić was not at his best at WC, his leadership was top class. Best leaders win the battle and he elevated whole team when they needed.
And again in Qatar, but true, I don't expect him to be the best in next Euro, or it will be the best swan song il Maestro can give.
Griezzman? Ok season, no trophy with the club, won WC
Hazzard? Was on his downfall and WC was his swan song.
@@npfunmedia Do u seriously watch football. Name one game that Modric was crucial in CL ?? And Modric is not defensive mid,,he is CM,box to box doing deep.lying playmaker role. The DM was Casemiro,,you dont know even the basics ,don't come up with this bullshits against don't know anything about football or to argue to some CR or Messi fanboys who are your level.
@@user-bi5nw4vp6t ok, correct in Real he is more CM with deep lying playmaker role, still he has a defensive mindset and fills the defensive tasks good.
Main problem of criticism is that he does not score much and now you correct me with his role in a team.
In National team he is even more defensive orientated helping to bring the ball out of the defense and first one to press counter attack.
CL? He was part of the team, stability is key word. When he was good Real was wining and when he was resting Real was crap.
@@npfunmedia In 17 he was one of top 5 ,, in 18 Nope. Except his WC he was not exceptional. And even in that WC Griezi,Hazard was best two. They both were good in every match in WC they played. Griezi was motm both Final and Quarter
Beside Curtois & Bellingham, all current Real Madrid's first team were a back up player in their first season.
13:34
no lol Messi kept on winning after it even tho he shouldnt have at some points (like Lewandownski could have had o ne or Van dijk or Haaland) so its not that they were tired of Messi and Ronaldo domination Modric simply was the best player in 2018 writing it off as voters fatigue is disrespectful to modric
❤️ :)
Wiki +news and we got a video.
Great vid,lovIT❤
Luka Goatrić
The biggest flop???? He proved them wrong very fast, didn’t he? 😂😂😂
Modric won 5 ucl, not the poacher
So what's the SCARY truth
That he literally witnessed his grandfather die in front of him. Not sure how that isn’t considered scary
Thanks
This story is whg modric us so overrated, especially when hes not even the best midfielder at real madrid over the last 10 years since kroos has been better every single seaosn
They are both spectacular. Luka can (still!) run the game like Toni, as he did last night vs Celta, but the German can't run and press like Croatian monster. Still flamboyant like 20 yrs ago when he was MoM against Messi's Argentina. Kroos just finished elementary school at that time
Touched by the hand of God. Luka is not a Balkan. To call him that is an insult. Luka is a Croat from a small region of Dalmacija. The pride of Zadar. His people would do anything for him. Mi smo Zadrani i Luka je nas!
great commentary boss
