That's it, I once heard one of his interviews saying that one of his missions is to really develop and optimize the young players at Real Madrid. Even at the beginning of last season, he really called 8 youth from academy players for Club World Cup at that time. And the most prominent one was Gonzalo García, it was a big success for Xabi to start with the youth.

Source: Kroos says few can replace himSource: What Kroos saidKroos was and remains a unique player, by the way he does not forget to mention this when he gives interviews and says that Real still has not found a proper replacement for him. But on the other hand maybe there is no need to look for someone exactly like that, maybe Alonso will bring something new to the team and there will be no big need for it. And Kroos continues to work at Real just like he said he would, he is involved in developing young players. I think for Real's youth academy it is a huge advantage that a player of this level keeps working with the team even after ending his playing career.
