In addition to Luka Modric, one of the key men for Croatia to reach the semifinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup is goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic. The goalkeeper excelled in a penalty shootout in the round of 16 against Japan and the quarterfinal against Brazil, earning praise from millions of fans of this sport.
Modric and Livakovic are precisely the protagonists of a video that went viral and was taken from the Netflix series “Captains”, a production in which six captains from six different confederations speak on their way to obtaining a spot for the World Cup .
In the clip popularized on social networks, Modric takes advantage of a space in the Croatian concentration to chat with Livakovic, who had lost the starting position in the UEFA qualifying tournament. “Right now, the most important thing is that colleagues feel that someone cares for them and that they have support. The goalkeeper situation is very specific. They are alone”expressed the midfielder who plays for Real Madrid, at the beginning.
Seated and with the full attention of Livakovic -from Dinamo Zagreb-, Modric continues: “I wouldn’t be telling you this if you didn’t care. I see that you do not progress in the selected one. Maybe it’s the pressure you have? Maybe it’s not… it’s because you’re radiating uncertainty. And that infects the team. You understand? That’s what I’m talking about. Why can’t you make a mistake? Everybody makes mistakes. I feel that your problem is that you are afraid of committing them. Who doesn’t make mistakes? Please name me one person. I didn’t come here out of fear. It only makes things worse. Look, you are a great archer. You know that, right?”he added.
