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 Modric should stay with Croatia for as long as he wants to be. And I'm sure that Dalic will never kick him out of the national team. Everyone in Croatia knows how much Modric 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 Modric 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 Modric's desire to continue playing for the Croatian national team.
On the other hand, Dalic should slowly start preparing the team for the time after Modric 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.

Well, as far as the Croatian technical director is concerned, I don't know what plans he has for the Croatian team, and despite the fact that Modric is reaching an age where many things are compromised, I would like it if they could endure one more World Cup, sometimes a generation The relief game is good, but they must have players who are veterans and who can intuit the new ones to act on the field in a way, the experience is not improvised, and in this case I think that Modric could undoubtedly make the difference, this is something similar to the case of Messi, from CR7, these players who are so important in the world of soccer and in their national teams, Croatia is a country that has very good soccer and I really like the Croatian style of soccer, it is very efficient , and it's not just that they play under one tactic, each player shows their specific talent.

Modric is a big factor in Croatia's good run so far. His performance was quite impressive in the latest Nations League tournament as well. But he might be on the verge of retiring from national football on one hand. Actually I would really like to see him playing in Euro 2024 to make this big tournament his last one in his career. But for now he is silent about the future of his career. If he retires earlier then there will be alternatives to him like Brozovic, Kovacic and Majer to fill his place in Euro 2024.

According to their current formation and the choices of Dalic, Kovacic and Brozovic are already in the starting eleven. In this case Dalic will need to look for whether there is a better replacement than Majer for Modric's position.

I am one of those who think that Modric lacks one more World Cup, like CR7, Messi, Ibra, but I know that things are not so good, but I am sure that if the Croatian team lets Modric know that They still need him, they want them to be captain, I would love it , because he is a player who will always give his all, I also think that Modric is at his best moment, because he has a third place in the world cup, he was also He appears in Real Madrid , and is very loved in Croatia.

He is not only loved in Croatia, many people in the world feel a lot of affection for the Croatian, one of the winners of the Golden Ball, a pride for Croatia , personally for me Modric Still has a lot to Give for his Country, to show us For us , the great thing about fútbol, in addition to the fact that Croatia needs its leader , there are players who retire until they are 43 or 45 years old and continue to give it their all as if they were younger, the advantage that young people have over a veteran Player is that they have More Speed.
