Well, it's no wonder we speculate about Kross's position. It's a real shame that he retired. When I see him playing in Germany in this Euro I say to myself, how is it possible that he retires with so much football under his belt and still able to delight us with his great plays? How is it possible?
In life, you just have to pass through some parts and share your natural talents to those who deserve and want to have a share of it. You can’t have it all and the best you can do is to pass it to others. That’s exactly what Kroos has done for Real Madrid and I know very soon it’ll start showing in those players he has passed them to. He has reached the time of retirement and he should not be denied that but allowed to rest after a successful career in football. It is very sad but he has to go now that he’s delivered what is expected of him during his career life. He is retiring a legend and he can’t keep showing for the last time what a best midfielder he is. I applaud him for that and should be respected always even after retiring.
If I'm not mistaken, he once said that he would retire when his football career was at the peak of success or was at his best and had not declined, it seems that's what he was holding on to so he decided to retire now. The reason is that now he is at the peak of success with Real Madrid and maybe at EURO this time he will also be successful considering that they have the advantage of playing as hosts. His game is also still very good, we can see the role he plays in midfield really helps the game.
Whatever the decision we have to respect it, even though I myself feel this is something difficult because I still want to see the players play. He is one of the best midfielders at the moment, and in the future we will really lose a midfielder like him. But maybe we will see him again but in a different role, namely as a coach. But at this time I don't know whether he is interested in becoming a coach or not.
