Croatia s World Cup exploits at Russia 2018 remain unforgettable for Luka Modric but the veteran midfielder wants to put those memories aside in Qatar.
Modric claimed the Ballon d Or in 2018 after guiding Croatia to the final of FIFA s top tournament, which ended in defeat to France, while winning a third consecutive Champions League with Real Madrid.
The 37-year-old and coach Zlatko Dalic are two familiar faces from the Russian run in an otherwise much-changed squad.
Modric was named Golden Ball winner at the last World Cup, given to the tournament s best player, but wants to put previous success behind him ahead of Wednesday s Group F opener against Morocco.
Definitely, what we ve been through in 2018 in Russia is unforgettable and indelible in my mind…
