🗣️ Santiago Gimenez: "A funny story? One day Modric came to my house, knocked on the door and asked to borrow my massage table.
His physiotherapist came with him too he knew I had one. I was with my family at the time, and everyone wanted a photo with him (laughs).
He chatted with them, he’s a great guy. As a person, he’s even better. He’s helped me a lot, he has so much experience, he’s a great leader and an outstanding player." @ESPNmx
Imagine being Kenny McLean; you grow up desperate to play football, you graft your whole life for it but you’re never sure if you’re going to get to experience a World Cup like the one you watched your country play in as a 6 years old boy.
Then, at the age of 33, an injury to a teammate means you come off the bench early on in a qualification decider, you’re seconds away from winning it, you’ve got the ball at your feet with everyone just hoping to see out the last few delicate seconds and send Scotland there, you’re on the halfway line, the keeper is scrambling back and you think “You know what; bollocks to it!” and smash it towards goal, uncorking bedlam all around you, instantly creating one of the most iconic moments in Scottish football history and becoming a hero forever more.
It’s hard not to be romantic about the game.
Forever backing Darwin. Form is temporary. I believe he's time will come. Hope new manager builds the team around him. We would be in for an era.
If everyone stops being fucking reactionary and actually look what he brings to the table... a truly unique and talented player
