Zinedine Zidane has offered an interview on the Real France portal to talk exclusively about Kroos. The coach spared no praise for the German, who said that “he is none of the four captains, but for many things, deep down, he is. In the field he shows off an innate authority ”, he pointed out.
Zidane described to Kroos like “he doesn't speak, he's a very quiet and reserved boy, but when he does it is because he plays. And he speaks to anyone: coach, managers, colleagues … He does not cut himself. I have seen many discussions in which their participation has turned out to be key, ”said Zinedine.
About his role in the team, Zizou He assured that “he is so good that he could play as a '6', as a pure midfielder, as a midfielder or even as a '10'. You put him on and he molds himself. Its main virtue is serenity. He's not nervous and loves reaching out to shoot from afar as much as taking a back pass for a flat shot. I find it fascinating how easily he plays with both legs. You could even think that he is a natural left-handed man … “.
One of the things that Zidane he wanted to emphasize was his mentality and his way of seeing life. “His life is football and family … The rest does not matter. Just soccer and family. He will be remembered as a spectacular player, one of the best in the world in his position. I admire his mind ”, he sentenced.
To end, Zidane he wanted to point out how he has lived coaching a footballer like the German: “When I arrived, well, you can imagine, I was really happy to be the coach of Kroos. It's true, when I retire I'll be able to say that I trained Cristiano, Bale, Modric, Ramos… But I will also say that I trained Toni Kroos. It's impressive to see him train every day … How professional. Talking about him is talking about someone extraordinary ”.
