  “The Super Cup is no longer a summer bolus”
  

You were happy this Thursday Toni Kroos in their social networks. His fine humor has become famous, unexpected in such a serious guy at first sight. Suddenly, surprise with a mask photo of his wife and him, on New Year's Eve, or publish a succinct summary of the Last classic at Camp Nou: Happy with the game, not with the result. Short and to the foot, precise as with the ball. On Thursday he dedicated himself to enjoying the hangover that the Real Madrid classification left for the Super Cup final. The party carried its seal in the form of an Olympic goal, a beauty that opened the night.

In the subsequent day, take a while tweeting some homemade videos of the play that his fans had recorded from the stadium's stands King Abdullah. In one it is perfectly seen how when he bends down to place the ball, he already detects the discolored position of the rival goal, outside the small area giving indications to his defense. For a second, the German forgot his quiet pose to get up immediately and hit as hard as toe. The effect with the instep did the rest. Goal with world ovation. Surely candidate for the prize Puskas 2020

At the celebration, he looked at the white boots, the same model he has been playing with for six seasons. Always white, another of his manas. Your brand, Adidas, occasionally strives to encourage you to try more updated ones, always receiving a negative response. Nor do they remind you that by contract they may force you to do so. He doesn't care. Toni is Toni, they say respectfully in the dressing room of Madrid to a player who has earned his share of leadership without the need for great speeches. Iceman They call it. He doesn't usually raise his voice, because he doesn't need it. That's right, when he does, nobody forgets it. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo. One day sparks jumped between the two, at a crossroads, without the details being clear. A (soft) version says that Kroos reminded the star that the two of them were world champions. The same story ensures that the thing did not reach much more.

A 'Spanish' of the Baltic Sea

Before that touch, I had been participating in the rounds, with those who open training, on the side of the Spanish players instead of with foreigners. He wanted to soak up the culture of a club soon where they still remember how easy it was to reach an agreement in his last renovation. How many years can I sign? I want the maximum, I asked. They told him that, by his age, until 2023, when he will be 33 years old. He gave the OK. He circulates with quite clear ideas since he was young. They know it at Bayern, where it was impossible to retain him, nor with the promises of Pep Guardiola, then bvaro team technician. In that 0-4 of Madridin the Allianz (2014), Kroos vesta of red. A few weeks later I was at the Bernabu.

Born 30 years ago on the shores of the Baltic Sea, he celebrates his sixth season in Madrid without ever losing ownership. He was with Solari on the bench, but the return of Zidane cleared the picture. His contract extension in May was striking, for arriving after months down. Its level, like that of most of the workforce, plummeted. But the club had agreed to the improved time back, within the renewal package that rewarded the winners of the three Champions in a row Sore from his bad course, in the last summer he rested for only a week and set to work with a personal physical trainer. Several bodies arrived in the preseason ahead of the rest. As follows, perhaps his best moment in Madrid, helped by the reinforcement of the center of the ZZ field.

The photo of the day of its renovation with Florentino Prez and a t-shirt where he read 2023 he placed it in the collage of summary of his year that he published on social networks. Next to her, one of the birth of her third child (called Fin) and another of the premiere of the documentary film with her name. In it, tasty anecdotes are revealed: from the custom of washing himself his boots every morning to his friendship with the singer Robbie williams or his mana to leave home. He has never gone down to the center of Madrid, confesses his wife, whom I met on vacation in Fuerteventura. From the family routine only meals are taken with the equipment. We play to the rhythm that Toni wants, Casemiro praises him on the tape.
