Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUSIVE: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
An evening full of emotions. Monday evening, Luka Modric experienced everything with Croatia. The disappointment, first, when he missed his penalty against Gigio Donnarumma during the decisive match of the group stage against Italy. Joy, then, when he finally found the fault in stride to offer, at the moment, qualification for the round of 16. Sadness, then, when he watched from the bench as Mattia Zaccagni’s equalizing goal in the 98th minute of play, an achievement propelling the Italians into the round of 16 and sending Croatia home.
“Luka is emotional”
A few days after this huge disappointment, his coach Zlatko Dalić spoke about the state of his captain after this match: “How is Luka Modrić? It was really a shock, tears from all of us…. You concede a goal in the 98th minute, you collapse. We know how emotional Luka is and how much he lives for this. He suffered a lot, 2008, 2016, and now this… I consoled him, we concluded that there is nothing without suffering,” he indicated. The tears must still be flowing down the cheeks of the supporters.
To sum up
Croatia coach Zlatko Dalić has spoken about Luka Modric’s condition after his country’s elimination from the group stage of the Euro. “He suffered a lot, 2008, 2016, and now this,” he explained.
