Cross: Real Madrid lacks players like me and doesn t like events like the Club World Cup or the European League

Recently, Kroos was interviewed by the Milan Sports Daily, and he talked about Real Madrid and the Club World Cup.

Kroos said: "I won't come back, they know that. But indeed, (Real Madrid) lacks players like me, and they are still looking for them. The problem is that there are not many players of this type, and those that are available are not easy to find."

Regarding Xavi Alonso's coaching Real Madrid, Kroos said: "A change that is good for everyone: clubs, Alonso, Ancelotti. Alonso wants to move forward in his career, Ancelotti has achieved so much and found a great job in Brazil. When we worked together, the invitation to Ancelotti was already here, and I talked to him. It's too early to evaluate Alonso's Real Madrid. I can only say that his job in Germany is excellent."

Kroos also emphasized that Real Madrid needs to "work together, play like a team, and feel that they need to be involved in defense" to succeed.

Regarding the Club World Cup, Cross said: "No one asked the players for their opinions, and the result was more money, less rest, and two consequences: more injuries, as we have seen for some time, and the decline in the quality of the game, the motivation of the key players will also be weakened. This is why I don't like new events like the Club World Cup or the UEFA Nations League."
