Why are they giving out the No 8 Jersey worn by Kroos a legend in the club to Valverde in this short period of time, I feel is a little disrespectful or is it just me feeling this way?
The number 8 jersey would be a big responsibility for Valverde; he knows the quality behind the man who was wearing this number for Real Madrid before him, and so it can be a motivation to perform in that capacity. Even though he doesn't look like that kind of player to feel the shoes of Kroos, he can grow into them.
