Francesco Repice, not an ordinary journalist, the official voice of Italian matches on the national Radio, one of those old school sport journalists with an unbelievable talent and vocabulary… check if u find some of his highlights as a commentator translated (for example the speech after Italy wins the euro cup)
I have seen Italian journalists being just as bad as the English ones. This is not about English or Italian, this is about a kind and thoughtful person who wanted to express how he genuinely felt, and he happens to be a journalist.
Luka Modric is such a rare talent that the world of football will be all the poorer for his retirement. Not only a great player but a fine person as well.
@AliHussein-xg3sw I don't know if this should be some sort of joke that I don't get, but don't ever put American flag on yt football clip and say something is the best about it. Not even as a joke. His hair might be tho.
One of my favourite footballers from when he was at Tottenham Hotspur. Not a Spurs fan here, but Mr Modric has class and poise seen in very few players. A class act.
Luka pozdrav iz Srbije. Ja sam navijac real madrida od svoje devete godine. Od Fernanda Redonda nisam sa toliko uzivanja gledao veznog fudbalera u tom timu!
I feel exactly the same way as the reporter. Luka is a great role model for the next generation of players. A truly world class player and human being.
Modric got most big chance created this season for real madrid despite only playing 40 minutes of an game,Got 7 asist aswell which is close to the starter toni kroos that got 8 asist.They two in rotation is a joy to watch,their physicallity has gotten worse due to age but the quality they bring to real madrid is unreplaceble ❤❤
Total class. Knowing that you’re at the end of an illustrious career, it hurts to walk away knowing what you know. The next phase is teaching and passing the torch to the next generation. Well done Luka.
Wonderful player, who rarely makes faults on the opponent. There are a few players who can really play football, Iniesta is also such a player. Rarely a yellow card in their entire career
Turning 39 this year and still playing at top level for real madrid and croatia. Truly one of the greatest of this generation.
Would be surprised if he’s not at the World Cup in 2026 tbh
In the middle aswel
@@xcf5587Yeah he’d be like 40-41 by then. Playing pro at tht age isn’t unheard of, look at pepe. Hope his wc run is better than his euros run
Ever*
Having a Ballon d’or automatically puts you in the best ever* area of discussion and not “the best of this generation” discussions.

Lo amo. Grandissimo Repice e ha fatto davvero un bellissimo gesto.
KUUUROOOOOOOO!!!! EL PRINCIPEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Same guy who shouted "Ancora Pirlo"?
❤❤❤
How could anyone hate on that guy.. he is one the players that even rival fans applaud 👏
I'm a barca fan and I completely agree with u
England fan here, he knocked us out the world Cup in 2018 and I agree
No he isnt
@@zedell1233 but it was mandzukic
@@bhvillaman4401 if you want to be literal yeah, but modric was the difference imo
I’ve always loved Modric. Such a gentle personality and humble demeanour ❤️
well said truley remarkable player on yje pitch and out
The Italian journalist is a man of honour and respect who understands his job. Like Luka Modric, he is world class.
Hear, hear! 👏
English journalist could never have such class
I agree, they are far too pompous and entitled.
That’s a ridiculous comment to make
@@Some-kid-called-David care to explain why?
@@97YNWA97 actually think about what you said in your original comment
I have seen Italian journalists being just as bad as the English ones. This is not about English or Italian, this is about a kind and thoughtful person who wanted to express how he genuinely felt, and he happens to be a journalist.
Watched Modric many times at the lane. What a fantastic footballer, it was an absolute privilege to watch him live.
Thank you for the kinds words fella, means a lot
@@Manos-de-Piedra Luka?
Really hope he comes back to WHL to round out his career.
@@thanossamy1543what is WHL?
@@markmusic5303 White Hart Lane, Tottenham's old stadium
39 and still one of the best. Amazing!!!
Francesco Repice has the best recipe for politeness
Awesome Word choice
I'm not crying , you are crying 🥲
no one is crying bro
Bro… now that’s original. Is that like an abbreviated form of brother? You are at the cutting edge of the new cool slang.
@@sbuckle1171 you're a weird guy
@@Willem-s6x Nah no weirdness here. It’s you - the guy who tries to downplay a hilarious comment by JoelJose6608 - that is eccentric.
Luka Modric is such a rare talent that the world of football will be all the poorer for his retirement. Not only a great player but a fine person as well.
He is a great player and an even better person. What did we do to deserve Luka😢
I’m a hardcore Barca fan but Luka is such a nice guy and a fine player
What a legend!
A truly amazing athlete, as others have said " one of the greatest of this generation"👍
Mr. Fantastic Francesco Repice, fabolous italian speaker. Honour and glory for Luka Modric, but to Repice, as well, for asking it him.
This guy is amazing, as a player, as a person! A true leader who never gives up! Best of luck from 🇷🇺
What a player he has been.
Still is, not has been
Not retired yet
Phenomenon player - and very humble too. Lovely comments from the reporter as well ❤
Francesco Repice italian journalist
And more importantly, the greatest sport radio commentator ever
@@andreadiotallevi5780comunque sono italiano ahahah, penso che sia uno dei migliori al commento
Uhh no he’s not, Landon Donovan is way better as a commentator 🇺🇸
@AliHussein-xg3sw I don't know if this should be some sort of joke that I don't get, but don't ever put American flag on yt football clip and say something is the best about it. Not even as a joke. His hair might be tho.
A class act in every way 👍👍
Luka powa !
Viva!! Luka Moderic. What a fantastic Footballer and servant of the beautiful game. He is a credit to Croatia.
Grande Modrić
Nice to see a positive interaction between a player and journalist.
Modric could star as Van Gogh in a movie
One of my favourite footballers from when he was at Tottenham Hotspur. Not a Spurs fan here, but Mr Modric has class and poise seen in very few players. A class act.
top footballer and an even better lad
He deserves it! An incredible player for his club and nation! I ended up supporting Croatia only for Luka Modric!
G.O.A.T.❤️❤️❤️
He is one of those who made us love football ! Great player and remarkable personality ...
Man... A world without Modric playing football.
He's my all time favorite player. Gonna miss him so much. On and off the pitch pure class
Trivela King Modric❤
Legenda❤
The best midfielder to ever grace the pitch.
Tremendous player. Great heart.
Legend 🐐
Legenda!!🇭🇷
LEGEND ❤
A very humble player. He's like a conductor in a orchestra, directing and when chance arrive he scores too.
Modric is not only a legend of football, but a legend of the world too.
Luka pozdrav iz Srbije. Ja sam navijac real madrida od svoje devete godine. Od Fernanda Redonda nisam sa toliko uzivanja gledao veznog fudbalera u tom timu!
Top player ❤
Unbelievable player
I don't want him to retire either! I think it would be more heartbreaking to see Modric retire than Messi or Ronaldo 😭
I feel exactly the same way as the reporter. Luka is a great role model for the next generation of players. A truly world class player and human being.
He's probably one of the few who deserves playing this fantastic game till his death.
Great player and person ,was hoping to watch him in live at the 2026 world cup
Your Favourite Players, Favourite Player
One of the greatest ever! Legend
Class personified.

Legend of a player and an even better human being apparently. Keep going Luca - even at 45 you’ll be better than most players playing today.
