克羅地亞隊雖然在決賽中落敗，但是他們可以昂首離開,。賽前大概沒有人想到這個人口只有420萬的小國會在世界杯的征程中走到這么遠……

Croatia will return home as beaten World Cup finalists, but they earned a prolonged standing ovation from their fans at the final whistle.

Croatia midfielderLuka Modricwas consoled by the Croatian president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic in a rainy postgame ceremony.

這個夜晚,，勝利屬于法蘭西,，但是全場最熱烈的掌聲屬于“魔笛”莫德里奇——那個“放羊的孩子”拿到了世界杯金球獎！

Luka Modric has won the Golden Ball at the World Cup for being the player of the tournament. His solid performance guided his country to their first World Cup final.

世界杯期間,，一段珍貴的視頻在網(wǎng)上熱播——視頻中,，一個身材瘦弱的男孩穿著一件太大的外套在山間放羊，而一頭狼就站在不遠處,。

Modric's past has come to light in revealing documentary footage.

這段影片的拍攝者 Pavle Balenovic 回憶說,，這段視頻拍攝于 1989 年和 1990 年之間，當(dāng)時他打算拍攝一部有關(guān)狼的紀(jì)錄片,，他也是多年之后才得知畫面中的小男孩是年幼的莫德里奇,。

So I took the shots of my friend and his son collecting their herd of goats, closing the pen and some scenes directed as it was planned for editing a wolf documentary...

Then just a few years ago I got some information on who the small boy collecting his father's herd in my episode is.
