Modric (During Croatian War of Independence): "I was with it (ball) all the time. When I went to the shelter I took it with me and I played with my friends, with everyone. I organised games. It meant everything to me."
Modric: "I broke so many windows at the hotel & of people& #39;s cars, everyone was always mad at me. My father had to pay for it. It was expensive."

Modric: "I remember the fear. We played football and the alarms went off (during war). It was normal."
Modric: "There was always a lot of doubt around me - about my quality, my style, my physique. They said I was too weak to make it to the top but it didn& #39;t affect me. It motivated me more."
Modric: "People judge people without knowing them, even more today with social media, which is why I stopped reading it a long time ago. I have my circle and I surround myself with positivity"
Modric: "I remember that poll and it wasn& #39;t nice at the time but I believed in myself. I believed I would prove I should be a player for Real Madrid."
Modric& #39; "It can be like this because people are always more focused on the players that score a lot of goals or make assists and if they& #39;re not watching matches they need time to notice the players who aren& #39;t doing those things,"
Modric: "Like David Silva and in the past Xavi, Iniesta. Without these kinds of players the team isn& #39;t functioning."
Modric: "But I think over time the recognition comes. Sometimes people need time to see it. Eventually I won the Ballon d& #39;Or and the UEFA player of the year. In the end, people noticed."
Modric: "At my age you don& #39;t make huge plans. It would be fantastic to finish my career in this fantastic club in this fantastic city but it is not my decision. It& #39;s up to Real Madrid"
Modric: "There are not many players that finish their career here, very few, but I want to play more years. I want to prove I can still play well and if that& #39;s not at Madrid, I will look at the options."
