Yet, in the words of the midfielder there does not seem to be too much enthusiasm for success and a sense of powerlessness seems to prevail in front of a calendar really full of commitments, especially after a tiring season like the one just ended.

As reported by Vecernji Listthat quotes Nova TVthe captain of the Croatian national team expressed all his disappointment for so many Nations League matches in a short period of time: “Of course we are happy with the victory over France but above all for having closed this part of the tournament. We deserved to win against the French and also in the past we have often been close to doing it but we had not succeeded. Now we have succeeded and we are happy “.

But after a first analysis of the race, here it is Modric take it for the calendar: “Every match is important for the national team, even the friendly one, but I have to tell the truth: I’m worried about the density of the game program. This is inhumane and abnormal. We played four games in 10 days and each had to give 100%. Indeed, to play these games we had to give much more than 100% on the pitch. “
