Croatia qualified for the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. In the 1/8 finals they defeated Japan, but only after penalty kicks (1: 1 ranks K. 1-3). In a similar way, they advanced to the semifinals of the tournament – this time, after a series of “elevens”, they were defeated by the Brazilian national team. The success of the team was greatly influenced not only by Dominik Levakovic, who saved four penalties in total, but above all by Luka Modry. The 37-year-old not only supports the team on the field, but also guides the team. It turns out that in addition to great talent, he also has a big heart.
Luka Modric made a great gesture. He spared no money to buy watches for his colleagues
Modric dreams of a world championship. In 2018, he failed to win the coveted trophy – Croatia lost 4-2 to France in the final. In club competition, he achieved it all – with Real Madrid He won, among others, five Champions League titles, and in 2018 won the Golden Ball.

Modric has always said that his “success would not have been possible without the team”. Therefore, in the past, he valued those who helped him reach the top. Simon Bastiansen, Branding Expert, spoke about the great Croatian heart. The man revealed that he met Modric four years ago to persuade him to work with the watch company Breitling. The Croatian refused because he was associated with Rolex. He revealed that there is a crazy story associated with the Swiss company.
After winning the Ballon d’Or, Modric bought himself a Rolex. He told me he gave the same gift to his teammates Reality. Bought up to 25 red gold Rolex Daytona watches. He also gave these gifts to the bus driver, doctor, physiotherapists and assistant coach. In total, he spent 11 million Swedish kronor (about five million zlotys – editorial note) – said Simon Bastiansen in an interview with Danish television TV2.
It turns out that Modric’s generosity doesn’t end there. The expert admitted that the player bought another 25 Rolex watches for his teammates after the 2018 World Cup Final in Russia. 50 hours in total. “He admitted that without these people he wouldn’t have been the best player in the world. This is the most humble and down-to-earth superstar sports“I’ve met before,” Bastiansen said.
It is likely that the Croatia captain will make a similar gesture this year as well. In the semi-finals world Cup Zlatko Dalic’s team will face Argentina. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 13 December at 20:00.
