Modric’s Success

Luka Modric is an iconic hero amongst Real Madrid fans. In 1985 he was born to his
grandparents. However, Mordic’s life was not a bed of roses. During the Croatian War of
Independence, Modric’s grandpa did not return home from leading the sheep to the pasture.
This event took a toll on Modric as he was only five years.

Early in Modric’s career, he joined his first youth club and quickly became well-recognised
amongst his teammates for his exceptional impeccable skills. At 18, he signed a contract for
Zrinjski Mostar. In a league physically arduous that was too rough for most players, in a
shocking turn of events, Modric saved the club against all odds and won an award as best
player. In date, Newspaper Macra stated that Modric signed a contract (30 million dollars)
known to be one of the worst signings of the season. However, Modric’s team proved them
wrong. He scored the winning goal. His team found victory against Manchester United in the
Champions League. Following this win, Luka Modric won his first Ballon d’Or nomination in
2014. Next season, Modric earned himself the UEFA Midfielder of the Year award. Later in
his career, he received the golden ball. As a cherry on top, he later won the Ballon d’Or in
2018 and became a superstar in the game of soccer.

Modric’s later life is playing for Real Madrid and has a hobby of playing and watching football
and basketball.

Modric is described as a hero because Luka Modric flees his home as he honed his skills
and endured the task of mastering skills to complete the task of scoring against the other
player. Players admire the skills to the test and the courage of the people knowing they put
their life on the line for us.
