Croatian coach::
On Monday, star midfielder Luka Modric received an appeal from Croatian coach Zlatko Dalic to continue amid rising rumours that the captain will give up playing for his country.
Dalic made his remarks the day after Croatia lost to Spain in the Nations League final in Rotterdam, 5-4 on penalties.
After arriving in Zagreb, Dalic told reporters, “We need him; this is a generation that still hasn’t finished the job.”
The Real Madrid midfielder memorably guided Croatia to second place in the 2018 World Cup and third at the competition in Qatar the year before.
In a matchup with a Spain team that Modric, 37, is quite familiar with, Croatia was vying for their first-ever major prize.
Following the heartbreaking loss, images of the heartbroken midfielder appeared on the front pages of newspapers all around Croatia on Monday.
Yesterday was really emotional for him, Dalic remarked.
The coach said, “Let him rest and he will let us know what he thinks.”
According to sources in the local media, Modric stated on Sunday that he had already taken a “clear decision” on his international career but provided no further details.
As he was leaving the Rotterdam stadium, Modric stated, “I won’t reveal it now.
Since his debut in 2006, Modric has participated in 166 games for Croatia.
