Luka Modric, the captain and greatest player in the history of the Croatian national team, has spoken out about the team's humiliating 7-0 defeat to England in a match in Rijeka. The veteran midfielder, who is 41 years old, was a starter in the historic loss. Modric has been a key player for the Croatian national team for many years, but this defeat has left him feeling ashamed.
Modric's comments came after the match, where he stated that it's difficult to find an explanation for the team's poor performance, which included failing to win duels, commit fouls, or show aggression. He added that this was the first time in 20 years that he felt ashamed after a game. The Croatian national team has lost two consecutive matches, including a 4-1 loss to Spain in the previous round.
The team's next match is against Spain in Split, where they need a win to recover from the crisis and move up in the Group A3 standings. The Croatian national team is currently in third place with three points. Modric's comments highlight the team's disappointment and frustration with their recent performances.
