Kroasia vs. Maroko: "Tarian Terakhir" Modric?

 Saat Kroasia bersaing memperebutkan tempat ketiga di Piala Dunia, pemain nomor 10 yang ikonik itu kemungkinan akan membuat penampilan terakhirnya untuk negaranya.

Kroasia dan Maroko akan melakukan tempat ketiga dan keempat di Piala Dunia FIFA Qatar 2022TM pada Sabtu 17 Desember pukul 18:00 (waktu setempat), pertandingan yang kemungkinan besar akan menjadi penampilan terakhir Luka Modric di Piala Dunia.

Menjelang pertandingan pertama Kroasia melawan Maroko di babak penyisihan grup, sang maestro lini berbicara tentang masa depan internasionalnya, mengatakan: "Jika kami menangkan Piala Dunia, itu akan luar biasa. If this happens, I may think about it."

However, takdir menghalangi Real Madrid untuk tampil di puncak. The 3-0 defeat of Argentina in the semifinals dampened Croatia's spirits, and the team will now return to the pitch to face Maroko in a play-off to determine the winner.

Despite this, karir gemerlap pemain nomor 10 Kroasia yang dibanjiri gelar dan trofi telah membuatnya salah satu gelandang terbaik dalam sejarah sepak bola, as seen in Qatar 2022. Kroasia tampak seperti bayangan dari tim mereka di Rusia 2018, tetapi tim Zlatko Dalic nyaris mencapai Final Piala Dunia FIFA kedua berturut-turut dalam beberapa minggu.

After achieving success in the national muda team, coach Zlatko Kranjcar promoted Modric to the national senior team on February 24, 2006 – and two months later, he was transferred to Jerman for the World Cup. The most recent international title was won by Croatia in August of this year, with a 2-0 victory over a team from Italy.

Two years later, Modric won the UEFA EURO 2008, scoring a penalty-kick goal against Austria and becoming, after 22 years and 73 days, the undisputed champion of Europe. Laju tim in 2008 berakhir melawan Turki di perempat final melalui adu penalti, after Modric himself made Kroasia unggul di perpanjangan waktu. Despite this, he was named to the Tournament's Team as the best player in his position.

Despite the fact that Croatia finished third in their group at the UEFA EURO 2012, Modric was signed by Real Madrid after providing valuable contributions to the club and the country. Dia telah menempuh panjang sejak 2006, memenangkan lima Liga Champions UEFA, tiga gelar La Liga dan empat Piala Dunia Klub FIFA bersama Real Madrid, selain membantu Kroasia menjadi runner-up di Rusia 2018, dimana dia juga memenangkan Penghargaan bola emas adidas.

However, based on his consistent performance, Modric has yet to be recognised for his contributions to the world of soccer. It's easy to forget that in 2012, for example, Tottenham Hotspur's move to Madrid did not go well, despite the club's previous success in the Champions League.

After winning several trophies with Real Madrid during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, (including three Liga Champions, four Premier League titles, and one La Liga title), Modric's stock has risen in relation to what he has achieved in the game, despite the fact that he is no longer playing in Russia. boosting global economic growth to higher levels.

At the age of 33, Kroasia's No10 player demonstrated his ability to perform by scoring a goal in a penalty shootout against Nigeria (Kroasia won 2-0) and being named Player of the Match. It will be interesting to see how she performs in the next round after scoring a penalty goal against Argentina.

Seluruh dunia akan mengakui bakatnya, yang didukung oleh tim tangguh, kompak, dan kuat, yang didukung oleh tim tangguh, kompak, dan kuat. Kroasia reached the Final for the first time in its history, where they faced Prancis. And, while Kylian Mbappe and his teammates will win the trophy, Modric will receive the Golden Ball Award as the tournament's most valuable player.
