Modric is optimistic about Sucic: It is expected to lead Croatia to a new high, and Milan s derby is looking forward to "showing mercy"!

Luka Modric believes that Petal Sucic has the ability to lead the next generation of Croatia players to unprecedented heights.

Modric has played side by side with players such as Ivan Rakitic, Marcelo Brozovic, and Ivan Perisic, helping Croatia to win the runner-up and third place in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups respectively.

During this international match day, 21-year-old Sucic started the World Cup qualifiers against Croatia against the Faroe Islands and Montenegro, and helped the team win - in which he and Modric appeared together in the match against Montenegro.

This summer window, Sucic transferred from Dynamo Zagreb to Inter Milan, and made an assist in the Club World Cup match that represented the Serie A giants.

After defeating Montenegro, Modric praised Sucic and joked that he hoped that the young player would not "take ruthless" against himself in the Milan derby.

"He is a very strong player and has a very good character" Modric said in an interview, "We have played together before, and he has shown his abilities. It is no accident that he can join a top club like Inter Milan. Everyone will gradually understand him better and see his talent."

"He still has a lot of room for improvement. I like playing with him very much, and I hope he can keep improving. But we will soon play in the Milan derby. Let's see how he will 'treat' me at that time."

"I hope he can 'should' and not run too fast. But at present, I am very happy to be able to fight with him."

"Our generation of players were once considered 'unreplicable' and achieved remarkable results, but now there are young players like him, and they may be able to reach higher heights."
