The captain of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Pyatov commented on his decision on voting for the title of the best football player of the world in the nomination - The Best-2018.

According to the goalkeeper of the "blue-yellow", he gave his vote to future triumphant Luka Modrica because of his role in the Madrid "Real" and the national team of Croatia. This Pyatov said in an interview with segodnya. ua.

Let us note that Pyatov gave "silver" and "bronze" to Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah, respectively.

"In such polls, always attacking players or players who score goals.

I also think that no less important role in the team is assigned to the defenders and midfielders. Therefore, I voted for Modrica. During the match, he does a huge amount of work, and this is just the case when the game of the team depends on his actions, and the central midfielder makes the result. And Luka is performing at a high level both in "Real" and in the national team, which once again confirms the trophies of last season.

Yes, I had to confront Modric. Especially remember the last match against the Croats (0: 2), when the opponent won just due to the skill of Modrica ", - noted Pyatov.

It is interesting that for the first time since 2008 the best football player of the year FIFA recognized not Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. For 10 years they invariably received this title. Each has five titles.

Recall that last season Modric for the third consecutive time won the Champions League with the "Real", which was the record of the tournament. And in the national team of Croatia Luke reached the finals of the World Cup-2018, where his team lost to France.
