He has completed 87% of his passes successfully. Modric’s passing range and vision have made him the talisman for Croatia and he remains the primary reason behind his country’s fabulous performances.
Croatia looks like a sure bet to make it to the semifinals at least. This would also mean that Modric gets more opportunities to demonstrate his enviable abilities. The likes of Rakitic, Rebic and Perisic have all performed exceptionally for Croatia but Modric remains their most important player and the favorite to win the Golden Ball at this stage of the tournament.
