🚨 Luka Modrić speaks about his hardest World Cup game:
🗣️“I would have to say Neymar is the best player I’ve played against. I’ve played against Messi, Ronaldo and many other great players, but Neymar was a real headache.
There are some moments when he plays on the pitch and you’re just looking at him in awe. You know he can change the game at any moment.
The game started and he beat four of our players before getting into the box. Lovren had to make a tackle because we couldn’t stop him.
I looked at Rakitić and asked, ‘How do we stop this guy?’ He just looked at me and didn’t say anything.
He made things very difficult for us. We controlled the first half, but when he started getting into the game, everything changed.
That was probably the most difficult game I played at a World Cup. From that moment, I knew he was going to become a very special player.”
