Luka Modric puts the work in

SportLocation Football Desk · 16 Sept 2026

Luka Modric is shown in a conditioning drill, then back on the grass and into the running work that follows it.

Luka Modric’s clip is all about the grind. The clearest image is the breathing-mask drill: a tight, side-on view that puts the conditioning work front and centre before the footage moves outside.

Once he is on the grass, Modric is straight into the running pattern, then into ball-side movement in an orange bib. It is not a highlight reel; it is the sort of training sequence that shows how much of elite football is built away from the match itself.

The final match-like and touchline moments only underline the same point. This is a player still shown in motion, still in the middle of the work, with the emphasis on preparation rather than polish.
