Rakitic was also a great footballer. We fans didnt understand his qualities. We were spoiled by xavi- iniesta magic, and forgot, football is all about adaptation, giving what the team needs, not what the fans like. Valverde, rakitic all were good, but barca fans thiught there is only one way to become successful.
@@Lucatoni22 They won two European cups and a World Cup, you can't compare these titles with any other titles, in addition, Inieste won the Champions League together with Xavi 4 times, you realise how much idea you have 🤣🤣
Kroos is simply on another level when compared with Mario and James. Kroos, Modric and Benzema are the MOST intelligent footballers with the highest football IQs I have ever seen. Simply phenomenal!
Its simple in football. Kdb was chelsea reject, man city legend. Palmer was sold, now hes one of the best players in epl at chelsea. Oddegard sold by madrid, one of the best in the world right now. It happens in every walk of life.
This is what you mean by the simplest is the hardest. He may not have fantastic trick and speed. But he efficiency and passing the pass effortlessly make him an underrated player. Look at the Germany team. You don’t know what kroos got until you lose him.
The way Goetze decided to leave BVB Dortmund for Bayern in Dortmund's time of need, and allowed his departure to be put on the news just a few days before the dreaded UCL Final 2013, revealed everything you needed to know about the man. He based his career solely on easy trophies and paycheck. He saw faults in his former Dortmund teammates but never in himself. Bayern's board of directors were stupid to value Goetze more than Kroos, as Kroos actually wanted to stay until Bayern stopped caring for him.
I think bale and modric are the one, especially bale since he came somehow those trophies started to come before bale and modric we were not winning ucla
I was baffled as a bayern fan when they refused to extend his stay then. He was one of the best midfielders I can think of that time, so now....hala Madrid 😊
kroos schweinsteiger ballack one of the best midfielders produced by germany ballack was the unlucky one but potentially he was a great player toni and bastian won many titles which boosted their confidence and their level of playing
That shows most fans and even some football executives judge players by fancy skills and aesthetics, not football intelligence. I've always liked and rated Kroos since watching play against Arsenal in 2012/2013.
That was not the reason. In the champions league final in London 2012 Kroos refused to shoot the penalty as he was scared. A few days later his management demanded 10 millions a year where Hoeneß was still fed-up with him and said he will never get this at Bayern Munich. Kroos learned his lesson in Madrid but still gets emotional if you ask him about this situation even more than 10yrs later.
Is a legend of our club and one of the best german players ever. He and Bernd Schuster are the 2 most underrated german players I remember. I had the privilege to see both of them live and man..........huuuuuge class
Moral of the story: Always believe in yourself, because the stone that some builders rejects often always becomes the cornerstone. He’s still not the best, but he’s consistent and still working.
I'm no scout but it amazes me how this can be true, I remember seeing his first games in Real and it was clear as day that he was going to be a legend.
Unpopular opinion, Kroos is better than Modric, my reasoning is that Kroos is better in long passes, have more shoot power and is more accure while Modric is better all around player
He get all major trophy with real madrid, make one of the best midfielder trio with modric and casemiro. And his passing accuracy almost reach 94% almost every year. No debate he is one of the best midfielder in the world
Not only is he a class player, kroos has consistently preformed throughout the years. I will take that over any player who has a sudden run of form. He probably is a coaches dream to have on a team.
2014 Kroos humiliated in the world cup in Brazil and real Madrid was the only team in the world that could pay his salary... Don't believe in every AI voice you hear...
Sometimes I don’t know what those board or coaches see’s and thinks.He is top tier in my eyes when I first saw him in Bayern and I was in shock that Bayern sold him.I knew they going to regret big time for letting him go
