There is not much to say about the miracle created by the big players in the World Cup, and today the author will lament Croatia's Modric.
Luka Modrić (1985—), known as the "Magic Flute" by domestic fans. A few days ago, under the global gaze, he once again drove the magic and led the team to send the Universe King directly away Brazil team.
Modric, in an increasingly tall world of football, looks particularly weightless and malnourished. In 1991, he came out of the rain of bullets in the Yugoslav civil war, playing football although it was the redemption of childhood, but also became his adolescent anxiety, European football giants procurement, looking at his weak body, did not dare to bet, but his football mentor Bešić knew where Modric's stage was. He was not arrogant and impatient all the way over, from a "parallel product" in the mouths of Real Madrid fans to a real Madrid mascot, and finally won the footballer and won the Ballon d'Or award monopolized by Messi and Ronaldo.
War destroys many people, and even those who come out of war and become famous are prone to cynicism. Modric, however, turned suffering into a gift, thunder under his feet but a flat face, war strengthened his resilience and perseverance, artillery fire gave him a super ability to peace, watching him encourage goalkeeper Livakovic, "In this world, who does not make mistakes", I felt that "You Raise Me Up" was sung for them. He is the middle and mainstay of Croatia, the barrier and security of this small country of 4 million people, in overtime he still runs long distances, saving a ball that is about to qualify, he is not running with the physical strength of a 37-year-old athlete, he seems to be saving the nation from fire and water, so that he dares to say that the fate of our Croatia is written on the stars.
The era when athletes became superhumans, the existence of the magic flute, is a revisit of the epic era of mankind. He is not only a portrayal of the traditional values of football, he has used football to set the benchmark and possibility of life for countless suffering teenagers on the earth, and he has also used football to redraw the horizon of a country. As a small Eastern European country, Croatia has blown its own rhapsody with their uncompromising legion. The magic flute also uses his not broad shoulders to define what it means to be a pillar of the country.
In the World Cup, there are many faster goals than the magic flute, but only the magic flute has traces of fate. He is the same age as Ronaldo, Ronaldo's superstar light has long overshadowed him, but Ronaldo's professionalism shows that he is Made in Clubs, the magic flute is different, his childhood of losing his homeland has made him have a strong motherland, so in the era when Ronaldo became a burden for the Portuguese team, the magic flute magically showed against age. It is this power that sends football back to the interface of the battle of the gods.
The era when football was equipped with sensors, the era when there was no room for God's hand, the era when Maradona was extinct, and the gods on the football field also retired. The clear eyes of the magic flute, the will to break out from the final game, snatched the football back from the AI to the pride and magic that belongs to humans, which is the last divinity contained in football, as the former goalkeeper Camus said, football never comes from the direction you predict. And for us fans, we also fulfill our divinity in football, just like Galeano's promise: we may change women, political beliefs or religions in our lives, but we will not change the teams we support.
The magic flute is melodious and we love him for the rest of our lives.
