Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, who now plays for Real Madrid, has open up on why he left the North London club for the Spanish giant “in order to grow as a player.”
The Croatian midfielder made 127 appearances in his four year stint with the north London club and has extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2020.
”There came a time at Tottenham where I had to change to improve and grow as a player,” Modric said,
“I did not doubt my quality and I knew that sooner or later I would succeed here, working everyday in training and in the game. I’ve always had confidence in myself. I did not start well, but I never stopped believing in myself.
“I think I have developed as a player in these four years, I have more experience than before and need to keep on the same path to help the team to play well both in defence and attack. I must continue at the same level.”
Modric is yet to play for Real Madrid in their last two games due to a knee injury he sustained during their Champions League draw against Borussia Dortmund.
