Toni Kroos He had not spoken until yesterday about the controversial move by Spain-Germany of the quarterfinals of European Cup wherein Marc Cucurella He touched the ball with his hand when the referee didn’t award a penalty, causing outrage in the host country. There was even a fruitless campaign for a rematch.
In his podcast ‘Einfach mal Luppen’, the former Madrid player said that, although at first he did not see it clearly, then he did and ended up angry. “I held back until now…” he said with a smile before saying: “I didn’t see it, I wasn’t in a position to see that it was a pretty clear hand, so I wasn’t angry. I was with the referee at that moment, then I ignored the referee “I was just angry when I saw it later, so… (Kroos stopped and took a deep breath)… let’s leave it at that.”
Kroos feels why the referee made this decision. “On the field I made the mistake of trusting him. I think I should have at least looked at it. But I think the problem is that I know that if I looked at it, I have to give it.” “The referees themselves don’t know 100 percent what the interpretation is. In the end the only thing we can do is accept it.”
Also asked who are his three best teammates at Real Madrid, he said: “I won’t be fair because I’m leaving someone out, but if I had to name three, I’d go with Ronaldo, Ramos and Modric.” “Also big Casemiro helped me.”
