Vinicius Junior: Playing against Modric is going to be very special

Added at:

Brazil's Vinicius Junior discusses how Brazil can stop Croatia in the quaterfinals of 2022 World Cup:

- It's going to be a very tough match. They came second in the last World Cup. We're preparing ourselves to play an excellent match. We'll give our best in the game like we did against Korea by pressing them and trying to score, which is always very important to us.

Modric is a great player. He’s taught me a lot – not just on the pitch but off it too. I'm very happy that I know him and that I get to see him every day. He’s not just a great player, but a great person too. He does everything not just for me, but for Rodrygo and Militao too. He always tries to support young players like us. Regarding playing against him, I always like to play against the best players. Playing against Modric is going to be very special. As far as neutralising him goes, I'll leave that to Casemiro because he can do a better job than me! He knows Modric really well because they played together for a long time.
