If eventually Croatia, his figure is undoubtedly Modric, perhaps because he is in one of the most influential teams in the world such as Real Madrid, in addition to having won a controversial ballon d'or, when everyone expected the winner to be someone else, he came out In addition, Modric must be recognized that he gave everything in the World Cup in Qatar, he played with his heart and that is something that the whole world saw, those are the things that make him great, however, as you say, it may be that It will be his last time with the Croatian team, but I would never leave Modric, I would only let him go when he wants to retire, because a player like that always has to be kept.

I agree that Modrić should stay with Croatia for as long as he wants to be. And I'm sure that Dalić will never kick him out of the national team. Everyone in Croatia knows how much Modrić has given to the national team. I just watched his interview on TV where he said that he will be at disposal to the national team for as long as he thinks the national team needs him.
Ok, we all agree that Modrić is a great soccer player and that his significance for the Croatian national team is very important.
However, we must be aware that his career is coming to an end and that it is becoming increasingly difficult for him physically to keep up with the condensed rhythm of a large number of matches in various club and national team matches.
It is an open secret that Real are not very happy with Modrić's desire to continue playing for the Croatian national team.
On the other hand, Dalić should slowly start preparing the team for the time after Modrić and prepare the national team's game for that period.
Otherwise, the situation from the beginning of 2000 could be repeated, when the change of generations was not done well and gradually, and there was a big drop in the game and results of the Croatian national team.
