Luka Modric made remarkable statements about his future, the Croatian National Team, Lionel Messi's farewell and his possible return to Real Madrid after the match they lost 2-1 against Spain.
The 41-year-old star stated that he does not know yet when he will quit football, and said that he wants to continue playing as long as he feels good.
Modric's statements are as follows:
"WILL THIS BE MY LAST YEAR OR WILL I CONTINUE FOR A LONGER TIME, WE WILL SEE"
"I feel good. I still have passion, ambition and strength. As long as I feel like this, I want to continue playing. How much longer? I don't know. It could be two months, six months, a year... I don't want to say something now and regret it later. I will move forward, step by step, match by match. One month, another month... I need to listen to my body, then I will make my decision completely calmly. Will this be my last year or will I continue for a longer time, we will see. But I feel good."
"I AM PROUD OF EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE AND ACHIEVED WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM"
"Every day there are fewer and fewer people left from that national team. Perisic, me, Budimir, Kramaric... We don't have much time left either. They want to include Kovacic in this group, but he has a longer future ahead of him. I hope the upcoming players will continue to do great things. I am proud of everything I have done and achieved with the national team."
"I SUFFERED A LOT BECAUSE OF HIM IN THE NATIONAL TEAM AND REAL MADRID"
"What can be said about Messi? It is sad that he is leaving the national team, but it is his decision and we have to respect it. He won the World Cup he wanted, he is one of the best players in the world and it was a great pleasure to watch him, although I suffered a lot because of him in the national team and at Real Madrid. He is a unique player. I wish him good luck."
"IF HE DOESN'T CONTINUE, HE DESERVES A BIG GOODBYE"
"I haven't spoken to Ronaldo and I don't know exactly what happened. It's sad what happened in his own country, but I think they will find a solution. Cris deserves it. If he doesn't continue, he deserves a big farewell. I hope the problem is solved because he is the greatest player Portugal has ever had."
"MANY THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO RETURN"
"Of course I would like to return to Real Madrid. It is my home. The club of my life. I spent 13 years there, but we will see what happens in the future. I need to prepare and see in what role I can help or if the club wants me. Many things have to happen to return. It would be a dream, but I am not thinking about it at the moment. We should not force anything. It has to be something in which I will feel useful."
"I MISS MADRID, BUT CURRENTLY I AM ENJOYING MY TIME IN MILAN"
I told Mourinho that he is at the club he deserves because he is in one of the biggest clubs in the world. I talk to a lot of players and people at the club. I think Real Madrid has a great squad and can turn the current situation around. Real Madrid has character and quality. They have everything they need to change the situation. I miss Madrid but am currently enjoying my time in Milan. They welcomed me very well and I am trying to do my best.
