“You saw at the EM that it’s not just about the speed of the player, but also that of the ball,” said Matthäus. “He actually does that quite well with one or two contacts, but wherever he hits the balls, he loses speed again because there is hardly any gain in space and the pace is dragged off.”
Kroos no longer “international class” for Matthäus
Matthäus cannot understand the evaluation of the sports magazine, which Kroos and Ilkay Gündogan listed as “international class”. At Real Madrid, the 2014 world champion made “good and outstanding games”, “but then he disappeared again. That’s why Toni Kroos is no longer for me ‘International Class’ “.
