Croatia, Luka Modric destroys referee Orsato

Real’s midfielder: “He is one of the worst I know.”

Very harsh attack by Luka Modric against Daniele Orsato after the semifinal match between Croatia and Argentina at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The Slavs complained in the post-match for the penalty awarded to the albiceleste in the first half, and the Real midfielder also sank the blow against the referee from Schio.

“I don’t like to talk about referees, but he is one of the worst I know. I do not have a good memory of him, he is a disaster. And for me the penalty was not there,” Modric said.

Argentina, according to the 2018 Ballon d’Or, still deserved the final: “They were the best, but this thing about Orsato had to be said, generally I don’t but now I do. Despite this, I don’t want to belittle Argentina, although the penalty killed us. Now we have to recover ahead of the final for third place and win that game. Messi? I wish him good luck for the final.”
