Former Casa Blanca midfielder and currently retired Toni Kroos delivered a very critical analysis of Real Madrid’s season after the defeat in the Clásico against Barça (2-0), during an exchange on the channel Luppen with his brother. The former Madrid number 8 believes that the club’s current difficulties are not only sporting. “Two seasons without a victory is unacceptable at Real Madrid, period. The result on the field is due to poor internal dynamics. They may have been motivated to win the Clásico, but it wasn’t enough. Defeat was already a foregone conclusion. I think they would have happily accepted this result even before kick-off. The second half was more balanced, but I didn’t score. In summary, well done to Barça”he explained.
Toni Kroos also added: “the second goal illustrates the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid. The players involved in this goal, Dani Olmo and Ferran, might not start if all the other players were available. The names don’t matter in this case, because they have well-rehearsed playing patterns and movements in training.”. Furthermore, he sees Güler as a key player for the future: “Arda Güler is a player of the future. He has played a lot this year and will be very important for Real Madrid. His best position is number 10, near the goal. He has an excellent last pass, which is why he needs to be close to the attackers and wingers. He is not an offensive player, so his potential is limited in the middle, even if he is capable of creating play from the back. »
