The Guardian journalist asked Modric about Mamic trial

"There had already been a lot of questions about the football, tactics side of it and I just asked this because it is such an extraordinary story and seems like it must have some kind of effect on preparations when that is going on in the background. I was amazed nobody else had asked about it," Walker told N1.

During a press conference, Walker asked Luka Modric to comment on the verdict against Zdravko Mamic which provoked the Croatian footballer who was a witness in the Mamic trial and who could also be indicted for because he withdrew his testimony.

“Don’t u have nothing better to ask,” Modric responded, adding that the press conference was about the Russia World Cup, not something else.

Dinamo's boss was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison last week, along with three other people, on charges that he was damaging Dinamo and the Croatian budget.
