Kroos’ return to the German national team boosts Real Madrid’s hopes

No one in real Madrid know what life will be like Toni Kroos from next July. Even those who live with the German midfielder on a daily basis cannot predict whether he wants to continue playing football or leave the top, as he has expressed on many occasions. His return to the national team German Euro 2024 It’s a decision that boosts Real Madrid’s hopes.

“One question sums up all the problems I have at the moment,” Kroos responded in his final appearance. recently On February 12, when he had not made either of the two decisions that crossed his mind every day.

The coach’s request Julian Nagelsmann, a coach praised the style he impressed on his teams, from the new success team almost two years older than him, woke up from a buried dream in June 2021, when Kroos was almost 31 years old. This prompted him to solve his first ‘problem’.

“I will come back because the national coach asked me to, I feel like it and I am sure that in the European Cup “You can do more than most people believe,” announced Kroos, restoring Germany’s leadership in midfield and putting the most reliable passing player in all of Europe at Nagelsmann’s disposal.

And it was that Kroos averaged 94.56% of successful passes at Real Madrid, very far from the second. 91.3% of progressive passes, according to BeSoccer data for EFE, reflecting the importance of Kroos this season in the game of Carlo Ancelotti’s team and his reliability. Very high percentage getting value on 89.33% of passes in the final third, where plays are decided.

Toni’s second headache remains to be solved: her first idea was to retire at 32 but she is already 34. The feeling of happiness playing for Real Madrid and living in Madrid adds to its importance for him. Ancelotti. Feel like the brains of a team at work, playing at the pace it imposes. Seeing yourself in physical prime at a time when the footballer’s retirement age has been greatly delayed.

There are more than enough arguments for Kroos’ next announcement that he will accept the renewal proposal for another year that he has from real Madrid. But it is unpredictable. His announcement of his return to the national team did not go down well with the club. The reading he did shows he wants to continue competing at the highest level. Self-confidence to improve the irregularity that Germany has experienced in recent times.

“It depends on many things, on what I feel, on my personal plans that I have because I have always said that I want to finish my career at the highest level possible.” From that phrase Cross and his desire to leave leaving the best taste in the mouth of the football fan, the most negative ones may even suspect that the Euro Cup hosted by his country of birth will be his last challenge.

Although it is true that Kroos separated his name from his partner in a thousand battles and glories Luka Modric With the Croatian digesting his change in role, with a lesser role and approaching a farewell with honors before his final football adventure from Real Madrid, as his desire now is to continue playing, the German shows Unmistakable stripes in Real Madrid’s rejuvenated midfield with players of the level of Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga or Aurélien Tchouaméni.

The powerful project that was created Florentino Perez, with a replacement for high-level footballers despite their youthful appearance Kylian Mbappé as the jewel in the crown for the next campaign, the club also thinks that another argument for the “highest possible” that Kroos wants to be with a conquest of Championswhich would be the sixth for him.

Kroos asked Real Madrid for more time to decide. It is in your hand. Today, he decided to play his fourth European Championship, which he did not win with Germany as he did in one of the three World Cups he played in, in 2014. So far he has played a total of 106 international match, in which he scored 17 goals and distributed 19 assists. He will return at 34 years old to elevate his career. Or it will be one more year as a Madridista. Only he knows.
