Fresh from Croatia's 2-1 win against Germany, Luka Modrić will be answering euro2008.com users' questions in a live chat session at 16.00CET on Friday.
Diminutive titan
Named the Carlsberg Man of the Match after another splendid performance for Slaven Bilić's side, the small but astonishingly sturdy 22-year-old midfielder will be the star guest in the euro2008.com chatroom. He will be answering questions about Croatia's UEFA EURO 2008™ campaign and his recent €21m move from NK Dinamo Zagreb to Tottenham Hostpur FC – and explaining exactly what it feels like to be hitting peak form in front of a worldwide audience here in Austria and Switzerland.
International interest
A central midfielder or playmaker depending on the formation his team employs, Modrić has emerged as one of the brightest young stars in European football in recent years. Signed as a 16-year-old by Dinamo, he honed his skills during loan spells with NK Zrinjski in Bosnia-Herzegovina and NK Inter Zaprešić back in Croatia, before emerging as a fully-fledged talent with Dinamo in the last two seasons, catching the eye of some of Europe's leading clubs.
Exclusive audience
Modrić scored from the spot in the fourth minute of Croatia's opening game against Austria to earn the accolade of the fastest penalty scorer at a UEFA European Championship, earning his side a 1-0 victory in the process. A 2-1 success against Germany was an even more startling achievement for Croatia and secured them a place in the quarter-finals as Group B winners. Log on tomorrow from 16.00CET for an exclusive audience with one of UEFA EURO 2008™'s shining lights. |
