Luka Modric supported Rodrigo after a missed penalty in the 1/4 finals of the 2022 World Cup.
Croatia beat Brazil 4-2 in the penalty shoot-out. Modric`s Real Madrid teammate got to the point first, but Dominik Livakovic parried the Brazilian`s kick.
It can happen to anyone. Rodrigo should be congratulated for having the strength and mentality to take a penalty. Everyone can miss.
I encouraged him. I was only a few years older than him when I missed on penalties against Turkey in 2008. I was 23. It`s not easy. He will gain experience and strength to continue.
I am sure that he will come out of this situation, becoming even stronger. Everything is fine. Everyone misses. I supported him and gave strength. We get along very well with him, and it`s a pity that this happened to him, - said the captain of the Croatian national team.
