In a long interview given to Corriere della SeraLuka Modric (40 years old) looked back on the coaches who marked his exceptional career. Now an AC Milan player after having made history at Real Madrid, the Croatian midfielder focused in particular on José Mourinho, whom he worked with during the 2012-2013 season in Madrid.
Modric is full of praise for the Portuguese technician, whom he describes as“exceptional”, “as a coach and as a person”. “He’s the one who wanted me at Real Madrid. Without Mourinho, I would never have arrived. I regret only having had it for one season”he assured, before illustrating the toughness and frankness of the coach with an anecdote with his compatriot CR7: “I saw him make Cristiano Ronaldo cry in the locker room, a man who gives his all on the pitch, because for once, he hadn’t run after the opposing full-back. » No doubt the Al-Nassr player would have preferred this story to remain private.
