Chelsea midfielder, Mason Mount has come out to say that Luka Modric is one of his biggest idols. Mount recently revealed that he is looking forward to playing against the Croatian in England’s first game.
According to him, he has watched Modric very closely since he played with Tottenham in the EPL, and he absolutely adores the kind of midfielder he is.
Mount added that it helps to be a fan of a player and then playing against him because you already know what he likes to do.
His words, “I’ve got it at home along with a couple of others. It’s always good to keep those special shirts,”
“I spoke to Kovacic before the first game and asked if I could get his shirt at a later date. I managed to do that and he asked for mine in the second game because I didn’t actually give him mine in the first.”
“Kova said he likes to swap with players so he came up and said he wanted mine, just said good luck in the upcoming games. It was brilliant for me obviously to speak to him and he wants my shirt so I was quite overwhelmed.”
“He has always been a player that I have looked up to. Ever since he has been in the Premier League with Tottenham, I have watched him quite closely. Playing against him, it was weird because I had watched him so much, I kind of knew his moves and what he was going to do.”
“It helps being a fan of a player and then playing against him because you know what he likes to do. The experience of playing against him helps because you want to be in these big games and learn how to handle the pressure and big moments.”
“Them two games [against Real Madrid] were massive in our run and I gained a lot of experience from the two games.”
