Toni Kroos is one of the best footballers in history, and the level he has shown throughout his career is the ideal proof. Real Madrid have gone through great moments with the midfielder and have conquered the entire continent. Unfortunately for the Madridists, his departure left a huge gap, which hasn't been possible to fill.
Real Madrid have been going through difficult times, but little by little they're getting back on their feet and are starting to look like a team again. In fact, the fans have become very excited about the arrival of Xabi Alonso, the new coach. Even so, everyone knows they're missing something, and Toni Kroos has admitted it publicly.
Toni Kroos and his absence in Xabi Alonso's squad
Real Madrid are used to fighting for every title, and this year hasn't been easy for any of the club's fans to accept. The board have seen their team keep losing and have had to get to work to solve the problem. Florentino has started signing quality reinforcements, and they're proving to be valuable.
In addition to players, Real Madrid believed it was time to change coaches, so Carlo had to leave. In his place, Xabi Alonso arrived in the capital, who has completely revolutionized the squad. Some stars who had a guaranteed spot are losing it, and other impact players are gaining prominence.
Even so, the white squad haven't been able to fill the gap left by their best midfielder, the German. Until they manage to replace him, they'll still be missing something. A couple of days ago, Toni Kroos gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport and discussed his departure from Real Madrid and the current situation.
Toni Kroos's words
Toni Kroos spoke without any fear and made his situation and that of the Spanish team very clear. "It's true that Real Madrid are missing a profile like mine, and they're still looking for it. I'm not going to come back and they know it. The problem is that there aren't many players like that, and the ones there are aren't easy to get."
Seeing his statements, it's clear that Toni Kroos won't return to Real Madrid, a tragic piece of news. Although many people had already accepted it, there was always hope that he'd put his boots back on and reach an agreement with the Spanish club.
