Luka Modric is excited by the test of facing Spain
Tottenham star Luka Modric is relishing the test of facing Spain with national side Croatia at Euro 2012.
The two countries face each other on Monday in their final Group C clash and the playmaker knows Croatia face a tough test.
“It is a big challenge for all of us to play a team like Spain,” he added. “Of course, they’ll control possession, and for how long, that probably depends on them.
“However, we have to posture solid in the middle, try to block their play and push them as far from our goal as possible.”
“As I said before, I’m convinced that there will be periods where we’ll be on top.
“That means that we’ll have some chances, and we’ll have to take one of them.”
