Croatia's 35-year-old playmaker Luka Modric has led his team all the way to the semifinals. And his wife and agent Vanja Bosnic have motivated him each step of the way.
Professional footballer Luka Modric, a midfielder for the Spanish team Real Madrid, captains Croatia's national team. He typically serves as a deep-lying playmaker in the centre of the field but can also play as an offensive or defensive midfielder. He is primarily recognised as the greatest Croatian player of all time and one of the best midfielders of his generation.
Who Is Vanja Bosnic?
Vanja Bosni is best known for being Luka Modric's wife, a Real Madrid star. The midfielder was a client of theirs when at Dinamo Zagreb when the two first met in 2007, while Vanja was working at Mamic sports agency.
Since then, Modric's wife has left the organisation and moved to Tottenham with her husband. In the Croatian capital of Zagreb, the two exchanged vows in May 2010. Vanja became the midfielder's agent after he left Mamic and negotiated a significant deal to get him to Real Madrid in 2012.
Luka Modric has won the Champions League five times. In the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, he was still able to win the Ballon d'Or. He's very much finished playing football. And yet, here he is, 37 years old, playing once more in a World Cup semifinal.
He now has one more chance to compete for the game's top prize. He just posted on Twitter, "The dream continues."In the match against Japan in the round of 16, time actually seemed to be catching up with Modric. He was pulled midway through extra time after failing to seize the initiative in a match that the Blue Samurai may have deserved to win.
