hero. Can you wait for the next 4 years?
The third place match, 37-year-old and 3-month-old Modrich, which is slightly chicken ribs, has actually ended the green journey.
In the early morning of 14th Beijing time, the semi-finals of Qatar World Cup began. With Macy’s penalty kick break and Alvarez’s “split second”, Argentina defeated Croatia 3-0 and took the lead in the final.
Before this game, the way of promotion of the Croats was enough to be described by the word “magic. In the first case of losing the ball, they successively eliminated the Japanese team and the Brazilian team in the penalty kick war.
But the reason why miracles are called miracles is that they will not be performed frequently again and again. In the past night, the rhapsody of Croatia eventually failed to play at lucsel Stadium.
Using Mozart’s famous opera and the homonym of Modric’s name, Chinese fans gave the nickname of “Magic Flute” to the Croatian midfield.
This is the fourth World Cup journey of “Magic Flute. In 2018, in Russia, he led the team to create history as the captain and took the runner-up into the pocket.
Led the team to create history 4 years ago
The Time train drove back to that year, and the Croats were amazing in the world.
Before entering the final at that time, Croatia experienced three plus-time battles. When facing the French team “Gaul cock” in the final duel, their physical strength was obviously at a disadvantage. If not, the “lattice Legion” would have hoped to be closer to FIFA World Cup.
Before the start of the final, Modrich had a total running distance of 62.6 kilometers, which was the person with the longest running distance among all the players. It seems that he will never stop on the court and will always be full of fighting spirit.
Coincidentally, in the World Cup in Russia, Croatia and Argentina once played in the group match. “Magic Flute” gave Argentina a 0:3 defeat with a stone-breaking World wave.
And the Golden Globe award in that cup was the most appropriate praise for the captain of Croatia.
Once broke the monopoly between Ronaldo and Macy
Modrich, who is 1.72 meters tall, is often surrounded by tall defenders on the court, but he can always find opportunities to resolve the crisis. In the eyes of the fans, “Magic Flute” is a “master” on the football field “. Even at the age of 37, it is still the best midfield player at present.
Bring the time back to 1985, Modric was born in Zadar, Croatia. Because his family was poor, he needed sheep to subsidize his family when he was a child. As you can see in the widely circulated video, 5-year-old Modrich waved a whip and drove sheep on the mountain road of welibit Mountain.
However, as the war broke out, Modrich had to flee with his family. The experience of leaving a foreign land almost became the epitome of his childhood life.
Fortunately, “Magic Flute” met football.
Now, perhaps it was the childhood sufferings that made this JUJIANG COFFEE glorious career in football.
In the eyes of Croatia coach Daric, Modrich’s generation of players have experienced too many hardships and tenacity has been integrated into their blood.
At the age of 16, Modric started his career at Dinamo club in Belgrade, Croatia. Only four years later, he started his personal World Cup journey in Germany.
Landing in the five major leagues, from hot thorn to Real Madrid, Modrich, who has both offensive and defensive, has gradually become one of the best midfield players in the world.
World Cup Golden Globe Award, FIFA world soccer player, Golden Globe award……
In 2018, Modrich almost completed the monopoly of personal honor of the year at that time. Even the “the legendary siblings” of Massey and Ronaldo has never done this feat.
In this way, this thin Croat stirred up the football world.
Two No. 10 players appreciate each other
like many stars, Modrich also lacks a FIFA World Cup in his honor book. For this, he can give everything. “If I have to retire so that we can become champions, I will sign immediately.” Among the words, “Magic Flute” undoubtedly reveals its resolute character.
In the 27th minute of the first half of the semi-final against Argentina, Modrich took a free kick in the front court. After the ball was shot, it was destroyed by the Argentine team, and “PAMPAS Eagle” quickly launched a counterattack. As soon as the camera turned, Modrich had already defended back to his forbidden zone and destroyed the opponent’s passing.
At that moment, who could believe that this tireless man was 37 years old.
4 years is enough to write new scripts. Only this time, the “Magic Flute” failed to lead the Croats who were changing between the old and the new to become the protagonist of the final chapter of the story.
On March 1, 2006, Croatia and Argentina had a friendly match.
On that day, Modrich started and finished the first show of the national team. And Macy just got the first goal of the national team career.
16 years later, the two veterans met again for their first FIFA World Cup dreams.
After the game, the two embraced each other deeply, and they felt a little heroic and sympathetic.
But competitive sports can only have one winner after all.
In the 80th minute of the game, Modrich was replaced. Through the random hair in front of his forehead, his face has long been soaked with sweat. When he came to the bench, “Magic Flute” and his teammates clapped one by one, enjoying the highest courtesy brought to him by 88966 fans.
In the eyes of many people, “the big dream of a small country” is an interpretation of football by Croats, who are resolute and united. While Modric and his companions are on the green field, helping Croats pursue their dreams. (Finished)
