Luka Modric Bound For The World's Best League?



It seems the answer to this is yes. Either to Chelsea (I hope to Cesc not) or Arsenal (please). I have taken a small interest in Dinamo Zagreb because of the array of young talent they have recently had/still have. The 3 names that spring to mind are Vedran Corluka, Luka Modric and Eduardo Alves Da Silva (Eduardo for short). All these men are in their early 20's and are supremely talented footballers. Corluka has adapted to the pace and power of the EPL in impressive fashion and done it quickly and is now fast becoming one of the best right backs around. His tackling, tactical knowledge, tackling, passing, calmness and confidence have all fallen into place nicely to make him a very complete right back. Eduardo, now with Arsenal FC, is taking longer to adapt, mainly by the fact he has been on the bench a lot but I have great hopes he will become the box predator Arsenal are so desperatley lacking and have been for a long time. Only time will tell. Lastly I shall discuss Luka Modric, the most talented of the 3. He is in his very early 20's, two-footed, can play anywhere across the midfield, is agressive, can tackle, pass creativly and works hard. He also seems to be able to strike a ball quite accurately and powerfully on goal. He is very much a complete midfielder one would think perfect for ANY team because of these qualities. Modric seems to like to involve his team mates a lot too, he seems humble and has the ability to dictate a game. I think if he moves to Arsenal (his footballing style is perfect for there) under the tutelage Arsene Wenger he could flourish and become one of the world's most respected midfielders. I hope this happens for both himself and my club but regardless of this hewill be successful wherever his career takes him.
