Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti recently showered praise on Toni Kroos, describing him as “one of the best midfielders in the history of football.” With the announcement of his retirement this summer after representing Germany in the European Championship, Kroos leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations to come.
The Trophy Cabinet of a Champion
During his time with Real Madrid, Kroos has amassed an impressive collection of 22 trophies since his arrival in 2014. Among these accolades are four Champions League titles and four LaLiga titles. As Madrid prepares to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final, Kroos has the opportunity to add yet another trophy to his already illustrious career.
Ancelotti acknowledged the difficulty of replacing a player of Kroos’s caliber, but expressed confidence in the younger generation stepping up to fill the void. Kroos’s exceptional form this season has been a testament to his skill and determination, as he continues to shine alongside Madrid’s emerging talents.
With the decision to retire while still at the top of his game, Kroos has shown bravery and resolve in choosing his own destiny. Ancelotti commended Kroos for his courage in making this choice, highlighting the ideal scenario of departing on a high note. As Kroos looks ahead to potentially securing three major trophies in the twilight of his career, his focus remains unwavering.
As Madrid prepares for life without Kroos, Ancelotti emphasized the importance of staying focused on the task at hand. While Kroos’s technical abilities will be sorely missed, the team remains committed to bidding farewell to a legend in style. Despite the challenges of moving forward without a key player, Madrid is determined to make the most of the opportunities that lie ahead.
In the midst of preparations for the Champions League final, Ancelotti confirmed that Aurélien Tchouaméni would be unable to participate due to a foot injury. While Tchouaméni’s absence is a setback for the team, Madrid remains united in their pursuit of victory in honor of their departing teammate. With Kroos’s calm demeanor and unwavering focus guiding them, Madrid is poised to give him a fitting farewell in his final matches.
