Toni Kroos has returned to the German national team after 998 days, since he was declared old and his game is now far beyond international level.
But those same legends chased away Julian Nagelsmann, the current coach of Germany, from Bayern, who managed to bring the icon of Real Madrid back to the team. Epilogue, France was "trampled" in Lyon, not so much by the result, but by the inability to threaten the Germans' goal at all (2:0).
Kroos assisted Florian Wirca for the fastest goal in the history of "elves" - in the seventh second! It was not the fastest goal last night, Baumgartner was faster for Austria against Slovakia in Bratislava (0:2).
“Unbelievable, to be honest. We all know he is an outstanding player. But the way he entered duels, and then plays in those situations, for which he was criticized before. Toni worked incredibly hard in the game and was reliable in defence. What I like is that you can't say that he is such a successful player - he is a very simple person and he immediately fit into the new team. That is very good," said the German coach.
The French players admit that they are "broken" and Chuameni points out that the Germans were better in all segments and that Kroos is one of the greatest defensive midfielders in the history of the game. And Spanish journalists rejoice - "Germany needed a leader, a motivator, a dominant figure in European football."
