This interview often gets misinterpreted. The Bayern manager Uli Hoeneß just wanted to guard Toni and to reduce all the hype around him, because often young players get too quick and too much hype and attention, which they can't handle at that young age. Uli is known for his aggressive manner towards journalists but players and club members always describe him as a "father figure".
Kroos and Modric sit with the legends. When Kroos came to Madrid I didn't know what to expect from him, but as a fan I watched him cautiously. Tony became Iconic rather quickly and it taught be the undeniable beauty there is to playmaking, passing, precision, positioning, field awareness, tactics. Tony needs to run to be a coach, this man has the mind to be one of the greatest coaches in the world. Mark my words.
Sadly, as it stands now, he won't. We are not in his mind, but he said himself that he was done with football and that he was going to focus on the family
@@redflagy8i think he will focus on his academy and his newly founded street football league. Hopefully he has enough time for his family, because he deserves it. one if not the best midfielder the world has ever seen,
As a german, I've always felt bad for him, how only a few people appreciated his play. Hes the one who controls the pace of his teams play. Him doing this for 9 straight seasons for Real are speaking for itself.
Toni Kroos is the prime example of how a completely wrong narrative is widely accepted just by constantly repeating. The wrong narrative here is that Kroos wasn't appreciated. He was much appreciated even by the ones who actually called him "Querpass-Toni".
I know someone who was part of the negotiating team that brought him to Spain and even the Real Madrid negotiating team couldn't believe Bayern Munich were letting him go. They though the Bayern people were trying to punk Real Madrid (kind of like Mbappe did two years ago). Selling Kroos is singlehandedly the worst decision BM made in the past 30 years. It was such a bad decision that people should've been fired on the spot for it.
What I like most about him is his demeanor: quiet, humble, never flashy - but absolutely deadly where it counts on the pitch. It's a refreshing contrast to all the players who act like divas or children on and off the pitch.
I am not a Madrid fan, but it always gives me great joy seeing Madrid and Kroos win something, because I know Hoeneß and Rummenigge will be fuming. Fuck these dumbasses.
@@mojopin127 You don‘t understand that huh? If Bayern asked for 35-50 million you really think Madrid would go for that? Not a single soul in 2014 would have paid that amount for a player whose contract has one year left. That has nothing to do with undervalued but logical negotiations. A 4-5 years contract would jump Kroos to a 50-60 million player at that time. 25 million was right for the circumstances and ge wanted to leave so Bayern sold him instead of letting him go for free one year later.
@@MichaelDancification but he wanted to leave cuz Bayern undervalued him. You think Bayern looks back at their decision and has no regrets? They absolutely let a gem leave cuz they thought they had better options but how long did those options last. Kroos is just retiring. All the others fell off years ago.
In a german documentary about him he once said that he likes to do simple things and make them look easy. And thats why he is so important for Real Madrid because in a Team full of fancy players who can do fancy things u need the guy who does the simple things easily. They also called him "Querpass Toni" (sidepass Toni) and in the semi final 24 against Munich the played maybe the most vertikal sidepass ever for the 2:2.
When you have the lineup around him that Real has had, it makes a guy like him fit in. He wasn’t being asked to make something out of nothing. Of course, making Real the perfect fit. But it’s hard to say what he would have done at a lesser club over, that’s the only question.
Of course he need someone to pass the ball to, but he was playing ahead of the time. He knew where to put the ball before anyone knew it. in my opinoin he is one of the best midfielder the world has seen. Furthermore he is a nice guy, humble.
His passing controlled every game he was in for his team. It's a real shame players like this aren't appreciated more for being the metronome, the heartbeat of their clubs.
It feels like yesterday we got the World and European champion and now he is retiring not just from this club, but from football as a whole. It was beautiful. I am an Özil fan, and i have to say there are only a few midfielders whom i can point and say, they are better if not on the same level as him and kroos is easily one of them. Hoping he wins the only major title missing from his accolade, the Euros and then he would be able to retire having won every trophy possible by him.

bayern munich even posted about his retirement pretending to give a damn which is crazy since they were the ones who kicked him out,im sure he would have loved to play for madrid if they extended his contract and increased his wages since he was their academy player
He improved after he went Madrid . In 2013 I was glad that he got injured against Juventus so that Robben could play from then on. Had that not happen , I don't think Bayern would go on and win the CL.
I remember very well the moment that I had the news that Kroos went to Real Madrid. I said: Well they must haved payed a LOT to get him. My friend said: Not really... 25M€.

Hoeneß reacted in this way at the time to protect Kross from the press. Shortly before that, Sebastian Deissler, the greatest German talent at the time, was constantly put under pressure by the German press until he ended his career at a very young age with depression. I'm not a Bayern fan, but Hoeneß always protected his players.
Belittling the players at his club and intentionally talking down their performance has nothing to do with protection. For whatever reason Hoeneß didn't like Toni Kroos that much. He used almost every occasion to show his disrespect and Rummenigge isn't that much better. Kroos however paid back by eliminating Bayern in UCL and delivering that amazing pass to Vini in Munich.
His passing accuracy jus shows how composed he is on the field , a passing phenome, he's one of my favorite Midfielders tbh and there are only few who can do what he does but they're not as accurate as kroos.
It is often a mark of true genius, that a talent is only recognised much later than it should. Toni Kroos offered Bayern the future, but they just couldn't see it.
Same thing will probably happen to Alphonso Davies who’s recently been treated similarly by Bayern. Watch him come to Madrid and become the next Marcelo. Remember, he’s only 23 years old!
It’s the reality of today’s game. Look into the stats of Modric Kroos iniesta and Xavi. Kroos is always coming first in key passes, progressive passes, passes into final third, interceptions, tackles, big chances created etc. even in goals and assists per game. But because the other 3 can do a silky body feint or skill there and there, they are seen as better, when I. Reality what makes a midfielder great Kroos clears them in only Xavi comes very close.
He is one of most under appreciated footballer of all time ,if you don’t understand football much or don’t watch full match, you will never understand how good he is
I knew Kroos was gonna be special even in his early days at Bayern... Never had the speed or dribbling... But consistently an excellent short or long passer and great on set pieces and cool as a cucumber... I was so happy when Real Madrid signed him and James in 2014... What an amazing investment it turned out to be ..
My dude, if you’re PLAYING for the first team Bayern at 17 you are by definition not being disrespected. That is insanely hard to break into and anyone allowed to do that at 17 is very clearly being held as a future star, full stop. 🛑
For the last 3 seasons, Kroos has had that insane pass accuracy while leading La Liga in yards advanced by his passes. Completely disproving the side-pass merchant nonsense
He is not one of the best with most accurate passes he is the best with most accurate passes in history! We already miss you Toni! 😢 from all the Madrid fans!

Hoeneß reacted in this way at the time to protect Kross from the press. Shortly before that, Sebastian Deissler, the greatest German talent at the time, was constantly put under pressure by the German press until he ended his career at a very young age with depression. I'm not a Bayern fan, but Hoeneß always protected his players.
Belittling the players at his club and intentionally talking down their performance has nothing to do with protection. For whatever reason Hoeneß didn't like Toni Kroos that much. He used almost every occasion to show his disrespect and Rummenigge isn't that much better. Kroos however paid back by eliminating Bayern in UCL and delivering that amazing pass to Vini in Munich.
His passing accuracy jus shows how composed he is on the field , a passing phenome, he's one of my favorite Midfielders tbh and there are only few who can do what he does but they're not as accurate as kroos.
It is often a mark of true genius, that a talent is only recognised much later than it should. Toni Kroos offered Bayern the future, but they just couldn't see it.
Things will eventually be on its place, Bayern Munich never deserved him because he was meant for bigger things.
I was waiting for this moment, now people are gonna appreciate your work 🎉
8:14 lmao didnt expect to see this image here
🤣🤣🤣
Same thing will probably happen to Alphonso Davies who’s recently been treated similarly by Bayern. Watch him come to Madrid and become the next Marcelo. Remember, he’s only 23 years old!
Kroos THE MIDFIELD GOAT
Toni Kroos is the best Nr. 6 ever played football! He rules the stats by far. There is no second opinion!

A world where speed and skill steal the spotlight that's some line and reality
It’s the reality of today’s game. Look into the stats of Modric Kroos iniesta and Xavi. Kroos is always coming first in key passes, progressive passes, passes into final third, interceptions, tackles, big chances created etc. even in goals and assists per game. But because the other 3 can do a silky body feint or skill there and there, they are seen as better, when I. Reality what makes a midfielder great Kroos clears them in only Xavi comes very close.
He is one of most under appreciated footballer of all time ,if you don’t understand football much or don’t watch full match, you will never understand how good he is
And it hurt to say that most of football fan are casual they will never understand the greatness & cruise-control ❌ kroos control✅
I am in need of your support to build my TH-cam channel, which is focused on football
I knew Kroos was gonna be special even in his early days at Bayern... Never had the speed or dribbling... But consistently an excellent short or long passer and great on set pieces and cool as a cucumber... I was so happy when Real Madrid signed him and James in 2014... What an amazing investment it turned out to be ..
Always loved this dude
He also won champions league with 2 different teams like CR7 which is amazing
This is the greatest player he entered football career respectfully and he left respectfully
For me the best midfielder ever ❤
Thanks toni 😢
Underrated comment!
15 years ago people didn't really understand players like Kroos, Pirlo Busqets etc. Intelligence has never been appreciated in sport.
I am a hard core Mexican born and raised and I don't know how Gio with all respect, placed higher than Toni Kroos lol
its crazy haha, he was really hype though
Kroos has my ultimate respect…A True Legend
Rummenige what a player
My dude, if you’re PLAYING for the first team Bayern at 17 you are by definition not being disrespected. That is insanely hard to break into and anyone allowed to do that at 17 is very clearly being held as a future star, full stop. 🛑
94% PASS ACCURACY ACROSS HIS ENTIRE CAREER, UNBELIEVABLE
Toni kross and serigo busquets
Absolut legends and are always underseen for what they did
Irreplaceable
He does his job so well!!
For the last 3 seasons, Kroos has had that insane pass accuracy while leading La Liga in yards advanced by his passes. Completely disproving the side-pass merchant nonsense
All time Legendary midfielders #8 kroos
These days, when my friends and I look back at tha career of Toni Kroos, I always say: "Told you so."
The video i've been looking fr since ages.🔥🔥
Great video Raymar🔥🔥
His last assist in club football came at a CL final to win his 6th trophy in the CL sums up his career
Raymar he was named the German Sniper because of his how special he was in the game.
The german Fabregas was never a hidden gem for me. GG WP good sir.
Check him out putting a ball in the basket from afar on his 3. try (the other tries hitting the hoop). He’s got crazy skills!
that video is crazy😭😂
He is not one of the best with most accurate passes he is the best with most accurate passes in history! We already miss you Toni! 😢 from all the Madrid fans!
Kroos decline to take a penalty against Chelsea despite his technical abilities.Who is going to pay big money to a coward at that point ? He stepped up after he joined Madrid.
