At midnight on June 16, a key match in Group B of the European Championship will take place, with Croatia facing Spain. Ahead of the game, Luka Modric attended a press conference, highlighting the threat posed by young Spanish player Yamar.
Firstly, Modric praised the Spanish team: “They are one of the favorites for this tournament, with most of their previous squad based around Real Madrid and Barcelona. But now the coach is giving opportunities to players from other clubs, and they have a lot of talented individuals.”
On the 16-year-old Yamar, who is 22 years younger than him, Modric remarked: “Hearing that makes me feel old. What Yamar has done is incredible; everyone believes he’s a massive threat to Spain. He has a great career ahead of him, and we’ve all seen that potential.”
Regarding Croatia’s chances in the group stage, Modric said: “This is a very tough group, but we’ve shown our strength in recent years. We’re one of the best teams in the world, and this Euro can prove it again. I also hope the Croatian team can achieve good results.”
