Real Madrid legend Kroos talked about the current situation of Real Madrid and his expectations for the team in his latest podcast program Einfach mal Luppen.
"I think Real Madrid will perform better this season. There is no need to say much about how it will be last season, but it is not a big news. Winning the championship is not easy, because Barcelona is a very strong opponent, and their strength has definitely not declined. In the international arena, there are about 8 teams that have the strength to compete for the Champions League. In addition to Real Madrid, there are Liverpool, Bayern, Paris, Manchester City, and Arsenal now, so it is difficult to predict who will win the Champions League in the new season."
"The game played for Oviedo last week is good, but it cannot explain too many issues. It is too early to draw conclusions now. In the Club World Cup, we have seen obvious changes in the team's position arrangement, but to make the final prediction, we need to look at the performance of a few tough battles. The biggest question last season The question is that Real Madrid failed to win a victory in the competition with top teams, and this has always been Real Madrid's strength in the past."
Speaking of Real Madrid's new coach Alonso, Kroos said: "What I am looking forward to is not only a change in content, but also an improvement in the overall mood of the team. Now it feels like everyone is fighting for their position, which undoubtedly improves the overall level. In the past, it was relatively clear who would play and how long it would take. But when everything starts again and triggers a brand new competition, this will be of great help to the team. In my opinion, this change has been reflected on the court. "As for how many championships Real Madrid can win this season, Kroos believes that this will depend on the showdown between the team and the strong team, and it is completely possible to win at least one trophy.
Kroos also expressed his affirmation for Real Madrid's signing operations this summer: "I think the team has been well reinforced. I deliberately used the word 'very good' because there is room for improvement. They have introduced some young players, and it remains to be seen how much impact they can have in the first season. In my opinion, Heisen is a very outstanding central defender, and he is very comprehensive from what I have seen so far. Of course, there will be more difficult tests than Oviedo in the future, but he has shown comprehensiveness. The ability, excellent heading, not slow, and good at organizing offense. I believe that the team's strength in this position has been greatly improved. "
" Alonso has already had a higher status than Lopetegui for his contribution to the club as a player. Although I still think Lopetegui is an excellent coach, his experience just shows that whether the coach can succeed in coaching in a giant family is often crucial. The length of time for the new coach depends to a large extent on trust, and this Trust is not always directly related to the results. "
"We often see some coaches being fired after only four games. If this is a performance of the club admitting their mistakes and believing that they have made the wrong choice, then such a decision is reasonable. On the other hand, there are coaches who can still get a long time to prove themselves even when they have poor results, because the club believes in the coach and his philosophy. "
" At least in Real Madrid, it is not surprising that this happens. But in this way, it is important to judge whether he can succeed with the current coach and whether the team is willing to give his all for the coach, the signal from the team is very important, and the way is also crucial. It is not just about the results of the game, but it is well known that there are many ways to lose. Whether he has a good reputation or basic trust, these factors cannot protect him if he cannot win the championship for a long time. In Real Madrid, no championship is acceptable for three consecutive years, whether it is a player or a coach. "
