The recently retired Toni Kroos He maintains a good relationship with the German tennis player Alexander Zverev. And he told some of his intimacies. Very interesting anecdotes and reflections emerged from a relaxed conversation between the two.
“I played badminton before football. My mother was a champion of the GDR. So I quickly found joy in tennis. They say I’m a bad lefty. If I were a tennis player, I would never stop. You’re sitting here with your brother, recording a podcast. Not allowed in team sports. You decide whether to bring your spouse and children to tournaments. You decide who is on your team, who sits in the box and who sleeps in your bed the night before the game. That doesn’t happen in team sports,” said the former Real Madrid player.
Later, he continued to talk about the reasons for his retirement: “I always wanted to finish at the highest level. I’ve played with many top players, but few have done this. There are still changes here and there. The constant traveling and being away from family has worn me down over the years. Maybe in five years I will say too soon, but now I feel better”.
And he added that “In August I went on vacation for the first time in my life.. And now, when I take the kids to school, then I drive home and not to practice.
Kroos also explained that he went to Valdebebas to see his teammates: “I don’t know if they think it’s good if I show up every now and then and say I want to join. Right now, there is also a risk that Carlo will tell me: ‘Now stay here‘”
