Luka Modric's teammate in the Croatian national team, Ivan Rakitic, cannot understand people who are angry because Real Madrid's safe cracked all the best awards this year.
L. Modric recently became the best football player of the year in the UEFA zone, and his name was also included in the FIFA best player of the year top three. There is no doubt that the safe who reached the final with Croatia and won the Champions League will also compete for the "Golden Ball" award.
After the UEFA awards, a wave of criticism poured out from the inner circle of Cristiano Ronaldo, but I. Rakitic finds their opinion completely uninteresting.
"Luka is now a big gun in La Liga because he is the best in the world this year, and we all Croatians are extremely proud of him," - Rakitic said in an interview with his country's media.
"I hope the last award he will win will be the 'Golden Ball'. He absolutely deserves this prize.
Those who envy Luka and die feeling envious. I am very proud of him and wish him the greatest success at the awards ceremonies.
We have been together in the national team for 11 years and have experienced a lot. I love him like a real brother. I am glad that he stayed in the national team because I can't imagine what I would have done if he had announced the end of his career," - Rakitic did not spare kind words about his longtime colleague.
