Toni Kroos, former Real Madrid player, spoke about the current situation of the team under the leadership of coach Xabi Alonso, especially since the team lacks a player like him after his departure more than 15 months ago.

Kroos said: "Real Madrid needs to win. I am no longer available, and they have to find a way to win with different players. It's not better or worse; that's the reality. Talking about those who were here before doesn't help anyone. I don't need anyone to tell me they miss me. I left with a smile and a great title."

Kroos refused to engage in comparisons or offer advice to coach Xabi Alonso, saying: "I am currently coaching a youth team, and I don't have much advice to give to Xabi."

Then compare the historic midfield trio he formed with Modrić and Casemiro to Madrid's current midfield: "They are two different generations, and it's important to adapt to what you have. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just a different type of players, and that doesn't mean better or worse. It's just another way of playing."

He emphasized: "The important thing is for the team to adapt to the players currently available. I hope Real Madrid wins so that this debate comes to an end."

And about his former teammate Vinícius Júnior: "Vini arrived when he was 17-18 years old, and it was amazing to see his development. Truly incredible. Yes, sometimes he is affected by the pressure and the atmosphere and could handle it better, and he knows that. But he is still young and faces many challenges. Sometimes he loses focus a bit during the game, but he is an amazing person. It was great to share the locker room with him."

In conclusion, Kroos spoke about his future: "I am happy with what I am doing now. I don't have a specific plan for what I will do in ten years. The most realistic thing is that I am still here at the moment."
