Modric has recalled that it was a difficult time for his family and a time that shaped his personality. He also said he was little aware of the war because he became friends with many other children during this period, whose parents tried not to let the haze of war affect their childhood.
In 1992, The Magic Flute got into football and entered elementary school and physical education academy with the help of his uncle. Boban and Totti are his football idols.
Now he has become a football idol for more children. Really good people internalize hard work into habits, work hard, and run.

The magic flute on the court has a strong physical confrontation ability, a wide field of vision, and delicate foot skills, coupled with abundant physical fitness and wide coverage, which is both a defensive beast waist and a master of creation.
"Children of Gunsmoke: Modric's Biography" writes: "It was the triumph of humble heroes. The questioned Dalmatian genius forgot that the roar of an aerial bomber could take his life at any moment, a victory of unremitting effort, self-transcendence, perseverance, and humility. On that day, Luca Modric came to Zagreb and saluted the whole city, as if the savior had arrived in the Promised Land. ”
