Modric: ‘I could have been a waiter!’

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has revealed that if he had not become a professional footballer there was a chance he may have ended up as a waiter.

The Croatian was speaking at an event for children involved in sport in Zagreb and was asked what he thought he would have being doing if he had not made the grade in his chosen sport.

“I’d have probably been a waiter. Thank God I decided to stick with football,” replied the former Tottenham Hotspur and Dinamo Zagreb player.

“I’ve experienced special emotions and made friends at every club I’ve played but I think I’m more comfortable at Real Madrid than anywhere else I’ve been.”

As for the highlight of his career so far, Modric claimed it was the day he made his full international debut for Croatia against Argentina, which he says was on a par with winning the Champions League with Madrid last season.
