Luka Modric Footballer Plays For Tottenham HotspurLuka Modrić Croatian pronunciation, born 9 September 1985 in Zadar is a Croatian footballer who plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League and for the Croatian national football team as a midfielder. He plays as an attacking central or left wing midfielder, where he demonstrates his acceleration, range of passing, vision and fantastic technique.
Modrić's childhood coincided with the Croatian War of Independence. After showing promise in hometown club Zadar's youth team, he was signed by Dinamo Zagreb as a teenager in 2002. His professional career began with loan spells at Zrinjski Mostar and Inter Zaprešić. While he was at Dinamo Zagreb, they won three consecutive league titles and several domestic cups, with Modrić named Prva HNL "Player of the Year" in 2007.
Modrić can play with both feet, and combines this with his swift offensive positioning off the ball. His complex game brought him consistant success in the Croatian first division, as recognised when he was signed by Tottenham Hotspur in July 2008. His best role is as a central playmaker and during his time at Dinamo Zagreb, he proved his ability to play as a attacking midfielder, especially on his preferred left wing.[40] In the Croatian national squad, Modrić linked up well with Niko Kovač, also demonstrating his defensive ability. Croatian team manager Bilić has utilised Modrić's flexibility to good effect when experimenting with the team formation. Most notably, Modrić formed a "telepathic understanding" with Eduardo when they played together at Dinamo, Inter Zaprešić and the national team.
