Luka Modric Was the winner of the Balloon of Gold 2018 and did not want to lose the gala of this 2019. The Croat was all a knight and attended to the delivery only to show him his respects to Leo Messi and give him the trophy that accredited him like winner. The culés and the world of the football in general elogiaron to the madridista by his attitude and his decision to go to the gala, in spite of not being one of the nominated.
The one who himself was nominated and decided not being in Paris was Cristiano Ronaldo, that remained in the third place. The luso was very criticised by not attending to the gala and even his ex mate, Modric, gave him a small 'stick' by this decision. The midfield player of the Madrid left clear in his speech, without appointing to the '7' of the Juventus of Turín, that in the world of the football it is necessary to show respect in this type of events.
"When you do not win, it is necessary to be to show respect. The football is this. I am here to celebrate the football. I have given him the prize and have congratulated him. I am happy to be here. It can be a good tradition that the winner avenges every year to deliver the prize to the new victorious. We are rival, but first of all there is respect. It is necessary to enjoy of the football and already is, as in other sports in which there is big sportsmen and show respect. We have to follow his line in the football", aimed, a respectful Modric.
As it could not be of another way, the '10' white also devoted him some words to Messi by his sixth conquest of the Balloon of Gold. The mediocampista praised to the Barcelona and spoke of him like "one of the best of all time". "It is something impressive when you see all these Balloons of together Gold, does not seem real. It shows that it is an impressive player. One of the best of all time. 'Chapeau' By what has done. It is necessary to congratulate it", affirmed.

But the Balkan no only spoke of the Balloon of Gold and also signalled how feels right now in the terrain of game. The ex of the Tottenham began very toneless the season, had several injuries and, besides, saw like Fede Valverde did with his place. In spite of this, little by little has gone going in in dynamics and, although it seems that to the charrúa already is indisputable for Zidane, Luka keeps on being important. He same said to feel better, happy and with win.
"I am very happy in Madrid. With the red card and the injuries was missing me take rhythm. Now I am well physically and enjoying of the football and of the Madrid as never. The only that need is to play and have rhythm to show what always have showed", admitted.
