England face tall task in stopping world’s ‘best’ midfielder Modric - Jenas

The former club team-mate of the Croatian star has detailed why he is so effective and why the Three Lions will have to be at their best to stop him

It will be difficult for England to stop Croatia star Luka Modric, says former Three Lions international Jermaine Jenas, who also believes the midfielder is the world’s best at his position.

Croatia captain Modric has been an instrumental figure in his nation’s run to the World Cup semi-finals having scored two goals in the group stages and assisting on Domagoj Vida’s goal in the quarter-final victory over Russia.
