In February of 2021, Toni Kroos announced that he would rejoin the German national team before he retired from football. The Real Madrid player declared, “It’s time to get to work,” at a crowded press conference.

In light of upcoming matches against France and the Netherlands, Julian Nagelsmann selected the 34-year-old for his squad. On Tuesday, Kroos stated, “I asked myself if I could help the team play a better tournament than our country is willing to accept after the last few years when the national coach asked me.”

While Uli Hoeneß was relieved to see Kroos again, others were less certain. “I’m happier with opinions that agree with my decision than those who don’t… Now that I’ve made peace, I don’t need to prove anything to anyone.

He will get the opportunity to play alongside Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala for the first time by rejoining the German national squad. “We have to make it so that we can enjoy these great footballers and that they are fun for us,” Kroos said, speaking only positively of the two. In order to prevent them from stopping, I also think I have to put them.

Germany’s next matches are at home against the Netherlands on Tuesday and against France on Saturday night.
