"Age won't be an issue for Modric at the Euros"

Ivica Olic, the coach of Croatia, wanted to give a statement to '24SATA' to talk about the situation of their captain Luka Modric, who has not hesitated to praise.

The Croatian is currently confined in Madrid, after both the national and European leagues were suspended. Olic referred to the postponement of the European Championship until 2021. 

"Knowing Luka, his mentality and his way of working, this does not play a major role for him. I'm sure it will be even better next year, that's just the way he is," he said of his player. 

Moreover, he did not hesitate to refer to the great commitment of the Madrid player when he plays with the international team: "When he plays with Croatia, he is always incredibly motivated, even 300% prepared".

Finally, Olic made it clear that although Modric is already 34 years old, that won't be a problem for him to play in the big European event: "Due to the way he maintains and takes care of his body, age won't be a significant problem for him".
