Bloomsbury presents Luka Modric by Luka Modric, read by Freddie Gaminara.

THE FIRST AND ONLY AUTOBIOGRAPHY FROM REAL MADRID GALÁCTICO AND WORLD CUP SUPERSTAR LUKA MODRIC.

'Enthralling.' – Oliver Holt, Mail on Sunday

‘Awesome’ – Match Magazine

'Solemn, soulful and occasionally romantic’ – Alyson Rudd, The Times

'an illuminating insight into the career of one of the greatest players in the modern game' – Late Tackle

‘On a level with the great midfield players of the last 20 years.’ – Sir Alex Ferguson, CBE

For the first time, Real Madrid galáctico and Croatian legend Luka Modric tells the story of his journey from a childhood in his war-torn homeland to becoming a serial UEFA Champions League winner and one of the most celebrated footballers in the world.

Regarded as one of the great midfield players of the last 20 years, Luka reveals the difficulties of growing up during the Croatian War of Independence and his beginnings as a footballer.

The FIFA World Cup finalist sets the record straight regarding key moments at Dinamo Zagreb, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid; he gives us intimate insights into his treasured home life; and he brings us his personal account of his career peak – Croatia’s dramatic path to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final.

What were his thoughts during decisive matches? What was his relationship with key players and coaches? What is the inner determination that keeps him on the pitch? What does it take to become the best footballer in the world?

Luka was consistently underestimated in his early career, but through grit and determination he has defied the expectations of everyone who doubted him, and reached the ultimate heights of world football.

This is Luka Modric in his own words.(P)2020 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Football (Soccer) Sports Biography

Critic reviews

Enthralling (Oliver Holt)
Awesome
Solemn, soulful and occasionally romantic. (Alyson Rudd)
A wonderfully talented midfield player who in my opinion is on a level with the great midfield players of the last 20 years. (Sir Alex Ferguson)
We played together at Tottenham and Real and I have always considered him a great player and a great guy… When you read his story you will understand how you can succeed in life despite all the difficulties and prejudices towards you. (Gareth Bale)
Luka's life and football story is incredible. In this book the readers will be able to see for themselves how much hard work and sacrifice stands behind his fantastic success. Emotions are the baseline of this story. (Marcelo)
Playing alongside Luka, I realized very early on what kind of football genius he is. In this book I found out about the difficult path that my great friend had to tread in order to reach the top. Only the strongest of characters can do that. (Karim Benzema)
Playing with Luka is incredibly fun and I enjoy it. His book recounts how many difficult obstacles he had to go through to become the best in the world. It's an instructive and inspiring story. (Toni Kroos)
Luka is a wonderful player, talented and responsible. He is a great man as well, always putting the team first. This book makes it perfectly clear how he managed to become the best in the world by staying the same humble guy through and through. (Raphaël Varane)
...an illuminating insight into the career of one of the greatest players in the modern game.

The book was excellent. It was well written and the narrator was also very good.
Modric went in to depth about his family and personal life, allowing you to see glimmers of him off the pitch.
To take this to 5 stars, i wanted a bit more humour. It was wuite repetitive about croatia, what they could, should and would have done 'if'...
Id recommend the book regardless and this is a must read for any tottenham or madrid fan

A great book about a modern great

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It was easy to listen to. The narrator was brilliant. He was really engaging.

It was really interesting. The story begins on the world cup stage and then takes you back to where it all began.

As a football fan, I found the stories of his time in England, Spain and particularly Croatia fascinating. Great insight to the life of a footballer.

What I loved about the biography was that it wasn't all just about football. For example, Luka spoke many times about his family. One of my favourite parts of the book is how he met his wonderful wife. It was very funny and endearing.

I was surprised to hear him talk about the impact of the virus. Very interesting!

So all in all. A very satisfying book. Loved every second of it. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Especially football fans, sports fans or those seeking inspiration. It's a truly beautiful story. Thank you Luka Modric.

Thoroughly Entertaining
