Former Real Madrid wing-back Robert Jarni is delighted for Luka Modric ahead of the World Cup semifinal.

Modric and Croatia will meet France tomorrow night.

Jarni told OkDiario of Modric: "He does not play with muscles, he plays with the brain. In the centre of the field we are calm because we know that he will give the ball when it should.

"Luka is a leader in the field, but not screaming, it is because of his charisma. He is the boss with the ball. I have only played with a footballer who when everyone fell he pulled everyone up, it was Raúl, and that's also Modric."

Asked if RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol could make it at Real Madrid, he also said: "He is a very humble boy. He knows what he wants and gives everything for football. I don't know if he could succeed at Real Madrid, but I've already heard that he will be very expensive."
