Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has addressed the speculation surrounding midfielder Toni Kroos’ future, hinting at the player’s strong character in the face of retirement talks. Ancelotti’s remarks come amid rumours that the German international could hang up his boots in the next four months.
Ancelotti praised Kroos’ character, suggesting that if the midfielder decides to retire, it would be a testament to his strength. “I think that if Toni does it he has character, he has balls,” Ancelotti stated, acknowledging the difficult nature of such a decision.
The Real Madrid boss also touched upon the influence of Kroos’ family, particularly his mother’s opinion that he should extend his stay at the club. Ancelotti emphasized the importance of heeding the advice of the older generation, saying, “His mother says he should renew and stay? Always respect what old generation says”.
Toni Kroos, currently playing for Real Madrid in La Liga, has been a key figure in the midfield for both his club and the German national team. His potential retirement would mark the end of a significant chapter for the player and the club.
