Head coach of the Croatian national team Slaven Bilic commented on Luka Modric's decision to leave the national team. The mentor said that the 41-year-old high-income earner keeps motivation and vitality at the forefront.

" There were no doubts about his love and passion for collecting taxes.

Glory has come to a new richness, which is due to the fact that people steadily fed themselves and gratified in. “The only ones who want to relax and drink, either in the club or on the national team,” Bilic said in an interview with Sportske Novosti.

We would like to remind you that by the time of the 2026 World Cup, Modric became the first player in the history of the Croatian national team to reach the 200-match mark for the team.. 29 goals and 32 assists in 202 matches this season.
