At Real Madrid, the line that separates being idolized by the hobby of systematic booing is very thin. Tall soccer players know this well Velázquez, Zidane or Guti in the past or Benzema and Bale in a more recent time. Kroos (30 years old) is the next White House player to look out over that cliff. After his last and recent contract renewal (signed until 2023, he will end up 33 years old), the German has taken several false steps that placed him in the trigger just before the break due to the coronavirus health crisis.
Something that has not yet transpired has happened between the German footballer and Zidane. It didn’t even help Kroos to be the most successful midfielder in the LaLiga pass (94%), and with a lot of difference in Madrid (Modric stays in 89%, Valverde in 88% and Casemiro in 83%) to play in the first leg of the second round against City. After the painful defeat (1-2) there was an image that hurt a lot in Real Madrid. That of Kroos himself and Guardiola whispering in the bowels of the Bernabéu. “When I didn’t see you at eleven I couldn’t believe it,” Guardiola seemed to say to the player, while the television cameras stole that intimate conversation between them. The Catalan was the coach of Bayern when he let him go to Madrid for 25 million euros, a historical error although, at least, Guardiola himself asked him to stay. But that image of the two talking may weigh on German in the future …

DAILY AS (DAILY AS) He was very surprised that Zidane left him on the bench that time being the player with the most influence in the game of Madrid: he is the footballer who distributes the most passes, 2,439, ahead of Casemiro (2,224) and that has played 400 minutes less than the Brazilian. The answer may lie in the occasional lack of involvement in defense of Kroos himself. The German, so decisive in Madrid’s triumphs (four Champions in five years) It was very marked last season in which Madrid ran out of options to win any title in March. 64% of the fans asked not to continue in a macrosondeo elaborated by this newspaper at the end of the campaign. Its renewal was not understood. Perhaps he was weighed down by his failure on Ajax’s first goal in the disastrous 1-4 of the Champions League and his alarmingly low physical condition. –
– Since then Kroos walks on the wire. His statements contrary to the drop in wages that was planned for the white squad due to the coronavirus crisis (of 10% if, as it seems, the championship resumes), put him back on the run. “Lowering the salary is a lost fund or donation to the club,” he said, later clarifying that it was a failure in the translation of the interview. After his last renovation Kroos was sincere: “I am the first who has not played at his level. I have no problem saying it. I really want to be more consistent, like before, in the previous four years. In this I have played wrong, but I’m sure I’ll have three or four more years to go, “he said. Now, with the shadow of Pogba and Camavinga (and of Valverde himself) on the horizon of that football with more muscle and back and forth than Zidane prefers, Kroos is in a crucial moment of his career in Madrid. And more with the resumption of the season … –
