So young and already loaned to Bosnia and Herzegovina for training, growing up in a place where war and the mafia coexist.
Modric isn't like Bale, who is only open with familiar people and somewhat shy.
In the environment where he grew up,
being shy and bashful just meant you were easy to bully.
He wasn't as dull as he seemed.
In those environments where everyone wanted to climb higher, those who succeeded understood a bit about human relationships.
Training at Chelsea felt pretty good.
Although outside opinions said this was Huang Kaiwen's team,
Modric didn't feel that Huang Kaiwen was all that special.
He was quite easy to get along with, without any sense of superiority.
When training ended in the evening, Modric was changing clothes, getting ready to go home.
Huang Kaiwen handed him a gift box saying, "A meeting gift, a memento of when I ran 800 meters previously."
Modric stared blankly at the box in his hand.
