MADRID, 15 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Croatian international of Real Madrid Luka Modric affirmed that the Argentine team “is always a favorite to win the World Cup” by having Leo Messi in its ranks, but recalled that Croatia beat the Albiceleste 3-0 in the last World Cup match between the two .
The merengue ’10’, who will face his fourth World Cup after Germany 2006, Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018, is aware of the strength of any team in Qatar 2022 and prefers not to point out any favorite above the rest.
However, when asked by Scaloni’s team, he remembered what happened in Russia. “We played against Argentina in the last tournament and we won”, he indicated in statements to ‘ESPN’, after recalling the 3-0 they endorsed the Albiceleste in the group stage.
“What do I see in them now? They are a very good team, I think they are stronger than a few years ago,” said the Real Madrid midfielder. “They have created a very strong group with Messi at the head, who is a different player. They are more united, they have not lost many games,” he said.
“Argentina, with Messi, is always one of the favorites to win the World Cup,” said Modric, 36, and in top form after completing a great season with Real Madrid.
In this edition, the Croatian team was drawn in group F along with Belgium, Morocco and Canada. The chessmen will debut in Qatar on November 23 against Morocco starting at 11:00.
