In essence, we will all miss him, we will never see Kroos again wearing the number 8 shirt at the Santiago Bernabeu, time flies so quickly. Modric and several other senior players will lead Real Madrid young generation next season. Without Kroos, even though everything can go well, everyone will feel lost, especially the players on Real Madrid front line. Kroos took a quite brave decision, ending his career by retiring at a still productive age, Euro 2024 being his last event. Ancelotti will lose half the creativity of his team game with the retirement of Kroos, and the role he leaves will be continued by Valverde, Modric, Camavinga and Dani Ceballos. It was speculated that Kroos would continue his career in the Saudi Pro League, MLS and even the Premier League with Manchester City, but the German midfielder decided to retire sooner than everyone expected.
Doesn't every generation change with another generation?
Real Madrid has prepared everything to find a suitable replacement for Kroos. They will never be different even though next season Kroos will no longer play for the team due to retirement. Even Modric, Carvajal, Nacho and all the other players are also waiting for their time to leave in any way, that is the reality.
Real Madrid have never had difficulty finding a creative midfielder like Kroos, but of course they have never been on the same level. This is just a dynamic within a team and they cannot prevent it considering that all players have their time. Kroos' decision to retire may have been the right one for him, but it was probably not what most of his fans expected.
