Kroos new challenge?
But Kroos, far from approaching football decline, has landed at the age of Christ with a maturity that allows him to find himself in the ideal position: the decision about his immediate future is his. Exclusively.
For Madrid’s management leadership, the situation with Kroos is simple. They are delighted with his loyalty and performance, since he is already on his way to turning nine. His last two seasons have been especially brilliant in his service record, which is why Florentino and Jose Angel Sanchez have already conveyed the most reassuring message for a footballer: “If you want to continue with us, your renewal for one more year is guaranteed.
Kroos has already made it clear on several occasions that he is an atypical footballer who will never hold on to a contract to perpetuate himself beyond reason before deciding to hang up his boots. Toni does not see himself reaching 37 years of age competing at the highest level like Modric’s partner and friend . If he sees that he is not going to contribute something important to Madrid, he will leave football. He doesn’t want anything else beyond the Bernabéu. But he is motivated by feeling that he is still a starter (he clearly is with Ancelotti) and he is motivated to continue to be present at the inauguration of the futuristic and innovative Bernabéu. The numbers support the continuity of the German brain until 2024. In the 383 games he has played for white (soon he will reach 400) he has won 16 titles (by June he could win another five more), scored 26 goals and given 88 assists . So far this year he has played 18 games, scoring a great goal against Cádiz (with a spectacular volley in the last game before the World Cup break) and four assists, just one less than Vinicius and Rodrygo, the highest standards of the squad in this.
