After the video content was released, many fans felt sorry for Modric's statement because they also wanted to see the Magic Flute continue to write glory in " grid army ". However, many media also said: Modric's interview was recorded last year. At that time, Croatia had not advanced to the semi-finals of the European League, and the stimulation brought to him by the national team was not as strong as it is now. In other words, Modric could have changed his mind.
In response to this matter, Croatia 's RTL TV station specially interviewed Croatian coach Zlatko Dalic . As a good teacher and friend of Magic Flute, Dalic said with a striking statement: The Qatar World Cup will not be Modric's last competition: "I firmly believe that he will still play for Croatia (referring to the end of the Qatar World Cup), and this will not be his last competition. Luka (Modric) is still playing top football. In my opinion, he can play for another 2 to 3 years."
In Dalic's view, Modric is an irreplaceable leader: "Nothing is impossible for him. He is still accomplishing some incredible things at such an age. He is improving every day, so when he returns to the national team, he is still full of energy. We are very grateful for everything he does, and it is a great thing to be in the same locker room with him. He is an outstanding person and a great player. Once Luca leaves the national team, Croatia is no longer the Croatia it used to be."
