“The husband’s, the wife’s credit”, this is rarely wrong. Behind a man’s success is the presence of a caring, sophisticated woman, and sometimes, they even lead the way for their husbands to reach glory.
The fateful meeting of a 19 year old player and a girl 3 years older
Luka Modric is the captain of the Croatian national team. Currently, he and his teammates are fighting in Euro 2020 .
In 2018, Modric surpassed both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to win the FIFA The Best award (the best player of the year of the World Football Federation). That year, Modric won the Champions League Cup and was World Cup runner-up. He is also the only player to stop the 10-year dominance journey of the duo Cris Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
When standing on the podium, Modric gave many special thanks. In it, he mentioned his wife – Vanja Bosnic. It can be said that, thanks to Vanja, Modric’s life turned around.
In 2007, Modric and his wife met. At that time, the Real Madrid superstar was playing for Dinamo Zagreb. He asked Mamic Sports Agency to represent him. The employee Mamic sent to work with Modric was Vanja.
Vanja is 3 years older than Modric, taller than this player. In terms of beauty, the “senior” did not have outstanding features, but at first sight Modric was fascinated with her. When they met, Modric was only 19 and Vanja was 22.
The small player decided to pursue and then dumped Vanja after a 3-hour phone call. Very quickly, they became lovers.
Vanja is not beautiful but is extremely smart, resourceful and calculates Modric’s life well. Not only is she a girlfriend, she also plays the role of advisor to the player born in 1985. After being together, Modric literally only needs to play soccer and Vanja takes care of how the world around him operates.
At that time, she realized that Diamo Zagred Club was not an ideal place for Modric to develop. She suggested that he consider moving out to compete. At that time, she advised her boyfriend to go to the Premier League.
However, Modric, who is shy and afraid of change, did not want to go or live far away from his family. Previously, Arsenal had rejected Modric when he came for a trial, so he was even more hesitant.
“They say you are too small for English football ,” Modric argued.
Vanja calmly replied: “Maybe, but you are too big for Dinamo Zagreb.”
After that, Modric still came to England thanks to the negotiation arrangement of his girlfriend. He landed at Tottenham. Vanja followed her boyfriend to London to live in 2008.
In England, Vanja is still a trusted advisor to her boyfriend. She arranged everything for him and took on all the tasks behind this player’s back.
The woman brought her husband to the peak of glory
In 2010, the couple got married after 3 years of love with a wedding held in Zagreb. Just 3 weeks later, his first son Ivano was born.
After getting married, Vanja directly acted as her husband’s representative, negotiating contracts with sponsors and the club.
In 2012, Real Madrid wanted Modric, Vanja also found a way for her husband to land at the Bernabeu even though the midfielder was very reluctant to move. Even this player was not afraid to “cause trouble” as long as he could go to Spain.
On his club debut, Modric chose to appear with his wife and son on the football field. That said, how important Vanja’s role is for Croatian players.
Many people say that Vanja is a bit old and has no outstanding beauty. Certainly standing among the WAGs, she can easily be lost because she doesn’t have any outstanding features. However, a woman who can arrange each of her husband’s moves in the most excellent way is comparable to anyone.
Modric is timid, shy and afraid of change, Vanja is extremely proactive, thinks big and knows how to convince her husband. Without such a back-up, it would be easy for the small midfielder to climb to the top of glory and win the noble “throne” among football players in 2018.
Vanja does not use social networks. She is willing to stand behind, “lifting towels and repairing bags” for her husband all the time. She is also not like many WAGs, enjoying the glory of her husband or buying clothes and branded goods. Vanja, after “raising” her husband to the top of football, continued to live a simple life, saving everything for her husband to focus on his career.
His wife does not use social networks, but Luka Modric is different. He is extremely happy every time he posts pictures of his family. Currently, Vanja has given birth to three children for Modric. The family of 5 often appears on the Croatian midfielder’s personal Instagram.
After 11 years together, on their wedding anniversary, Modric posted a photo of his wife congratulating him and still lovingly calling her: “My love.”
More than a decade has passed, Vanja has accompanied Modric from the time he was unknown at a small team in Croatia to the time he was in a difficult position to replace at the Spanish Royal team.
Modric also thanks to his wife’s support to experience all the extreme glory of footballer’s life. That said, sometimes a man’s life “flourishes” largely thanks to guidance from his woman.
