Toni Kroos has revealed why he has returned to the national team.
Cross, who played for different age groups, had high expectations in Germany. Cross was drafted by the A team at the age of 20 in 2010 and participated in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Luckily, Cross was given the opportunity to play, but the team failed to display good performance. Since then, he has established himself as a core player in Germany's midfield. He performed very well in the Euro 2012 qualifying round. However, he left regret as a substitute in the Euro 2012.
Cross had a moment of glory. He started as a starting midfielder at the 2014 World Cup Brazil. Cross played a key role for Germany, and the team showed overwhelming performance. Germany advanced to the semifinals with a robust record, while the host country Brazil crushed 7-1. In the final, he met Argentina and, after struggling for extra time, won the title with Mario Götze's finishing goal.
However, Germany has been on a downward trajectory since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Germany had to deal with its jinx, the champion. The team lost 0-3 to Korea in the third group match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and had to pack up. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the team was also eliminated from the group match, and humiliated by being eliminated from the group match for the second consecutive time.
The same was true for the Euros. He fell to the semifinals at Euro 2016 and the round of 16 at Euro 2020. After Euro 2020, Cross announced his retirement from the national team. "There will be no more A matches. I have always thought of retiring after the Euros. I will not participate in the 2022 Qatar World Cup."
Kroos took off his national team uniform, but returned to the national team ahead of Euro 2024. This was because there was a request from the national team. Kroos said, "Guys, to put it short and thick, I will play for Germany again from March. This is because I was asked by the German team, and I am sure I will be able to do much more at Euro 2024 than most people think." 슬롯사이트 순위
As Cross returned, Germany's performance improved. There was a sense of stability in the midfield and there was room for game management. Germany won three games and one draw in four games after returning to Cross. Germany won all of the matches where Cross played. Germany became a candidate for the Euro championship.
Cross was confident in winning the Euros. Cross said, "The goal of every competition I compete in is always to win. I would not have returned to the national team if I didn't think it was possible. I still want to succeed and I want to win this competition." Attention is focusing on whether Cross will win her last competition.
