Real Madrid: 3 players who are still as good as ever
By Eesh Jhamb
Toni Kroos
Toni Kroos is one of these players. There is no one who can challenge the German with the recent form he has been in. His surgery during the onset of the season had him slowed down a little, but with regular games, the 31-year-old has seemed to regain his form.
Kroos is a true maestro who loves to find holes in the opposition’s midfield and exploit them as much as possible. His passing has been smooth and there is no surprise that the German is scoring Golazos with the smooth finishing touch of his boots. He has shown the world that the disrespect he receives must stop. Which disrespect? ESPN in the latest ranking released omitted Toni Kroos from the Top 10 midfielders of the Year list. This is something very surprising, and this just tells you how underrated the German is.
With Casemiro and Luka Modric by his side, Toni Kroos gains confidence while attacking because he has faith that the fellow midfielders can manage to defend any counterattack the opposing team might launch and this is the reason he has managed to put up some of the best performances of his career.
Statistically speaking, Toni Kroos has scored 3 goals and assisted 3 in a total of 17 appearances so far. The German has a high 95.1% pass completion and averages 2.1 Key Passes per game. He knows how to switch the play to different parts of the pitch and it is evident by his average of 8.65 long balls a game.
Toni Kroos is still as good as ever and as Hridyam said “We are witnessing a living legend at his absolute best“.
