All the fans of the World Cup, journalists and professional players, were surprised by the performance of the selection of Croatia, a team that showed the field a great demonstration of good football. He fought each game as if it was a final until he reached the real final against France, but could not win and came second.

Luka besides being the captain of the team was undoubtedly the most representative player, his condition of midfielder gave a good start to the team and when defending organized his team quickly. That's why he was chosen as the best player in the World Cup obtaining the gold ball of the tournament as well as the medal of runner-up. He, as well as the whole team and coaching staff, taught the world that by working hard you get good rewards.

When they reached the final a news item went viral on the internet, it was a letter addressed to Modric, handwritten by a Croatian girl, Selena, only 5 years old, who suffered from Leukaemia and declared herself a fan of the player. With the help of his mother and sister they helped him to write the letter in which he affirmed that Modric is the best player in the world declaring his most fervent admiration for him and the whole team.

Quickly the news spread until it reached the ears of the Croatian who was moved to read it. At once Luka took a leaf and a pen and in the same way with her fist she answered him with another letter. In it she told Selena that she was very happy for the letter, just as she encouraged him and all the players, they also encouraged her in the fight against her illness, in each match they gave their last effort without giving up, to motivate brave people like her. She also gave him her signed Croatian shirt.

For those who don't know, the Croatian player also had a very hard childhood marked by war. When he was a small nation he suffered from political and social problems that ended up separating all the states that conformed it, but football was an escape to all those difficulties, he found a refuge playing with the ball.

Coaching very hard every day was how he built his great football career, which we already know today.

Now Luka Modric is the motivation and inspiration of many Croatian children like Selena, who find in football a refuge for all their problems, that's why every time he goes out on the field with his country's shirt he doesn't hesitate to give happiness to all his compatriots, so that they feel proud to have a great footballer and also a great human being.
