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? But anyway, with Ancelotti, Madrid will be able to find a way to put together a suitable formation without him until they find the right one. And with Mbappé, well, they already have someone to put up front. There are many players who can accompany Mbappé, but to be honest, I think that Madrid already needs a very good midfielder, because for me the base of Madrid has always been its midfielders.
Kross decision to retire is of course quite surprising to us, even though he is no longer young but his performance and performance in playing is still very good at the moment, we can see how he is still able to compete in international level matches when indeed he has decided to retire from the club at this time, his ability to manage the midfield of course makes the Germans so far very solid in each of their matches, Currently Kross has decided to retire from Madrid, so Madrid must be able to get a players to replace Kross in the midfield next season.
Madrid may still have some young midfielders and of course Ancelotti will try to take advantage of them later to fill the void left by Kross, Ancelotti of course has a lot of experience in shaping the squad even though they have a shortage of players, so I think Ancelotti will probably do the same to be able to strengthen their midfield late,so far, Ancelotti has closed the void of the central striker by plotting Bellingham a little more forward than his original position so far, so that Madrid can be quite sharp and also have no difficulty in scoring goals so far.
Well, Kross is a person who thinks a lot about everything, and he steps aside to give other players, the younger ones, the opportunity to play, it's something that speaks very well of him, it's also something that we see but little understand, I think the main reason why he stopped playing football at club level is because he wants to spend more time with his family, and at Madrid sometimes he had to take charter flights to see his family, with respect to the midfield, for me Kross and Modric are always the most likely options, Ancelotti has to think of other options, I don't know now if there will be problems to place Bellingham and Mbappé, since both like to go as forwards, unless he changes two forwards at Madrid, but it does not mean changing his entire strategic format.
