“Ancelotti’s Inspiring Words to Modric After Croatia’s Heartbreaking Match Against Brazil”

The head coach of Brazil, Carlo Ancelotti, was observed jesting with AC Milan midfielder Luka Modric following Selecao’s friendly 3-1 triumph over Croatia on Tuesday.

Ancelotti’s team recovered from their recent 2-1 friendly loss to France with a 3-1 success against Croatia.

Goals from Danilo, Igor Thiago, and Gabriel Martinelli secured Brazil the victory against Croatia at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, United States.

Nevertheless, after the match, Ancelotti approached Modric and exchanged handshakes with him while smiling.

The Italian subsequently inquired of the Real Madrid icon (as stated by Fabrizio Romano), “Don’t you have a Brazilian grandfather?”

Modric was coached by Ancelotti during their tenure together at Real Madrid.

The 40-year-old participated in 276 matches across all competitions for Real Madrid, netting 28 goals and providing 50 assists under Ancelotti’s mentorship.
