Evaluating their impact on the global stage, Martinez was emphatic about their status in the modern game. "We are talking about players who are above public opinion. They are world icons. The longevity they carry makes them special. Luka Modric, at over 40 years old, continues to play many games. It is the same as our captain, Cristiano Ronaldo," the Spaniard explained to reporters.
