”KROOS WANTS ME TO BE THE HEIR OF THE NUMBER 8 JERSEY,” says Valverde.

A passage taken from Fede Valverde’s interview with MARCA in which he addresses speculations that he may take over the great Toni Kroos’s number eight shirt:”The shirt with the eight? In fact, Toni personally spoke with me about it, and I would adore it.”To be honest, I’m not too concerned with shirt numbers; what matters most in this situation is that TONI wants me to be the next person to don the number 8 shirt for Real Madrid.””Toni’s actions truly brought me joy; he quietly discussed the number 8 shirt with me, demonstrating what a wonderful person Toni is.”“I tried to celebrate for Tonyi, and I will miss him.”PictureToni Kroos, his “idol,” will hand the No. 8 position to Fede Valverde.In Poland, what a moment. Fede Valverde scored a point and gestured to the number “8,” which his hero Toni Kroos carried along from him.

“My dedication is to Toni, whom we will always remember and in whose honour, I hope we can continue to win titles,” he said after the game.Total respect.
