Kroos 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.
I personally really agree with all the assumptions made by Kroos, because in fact after Kroos retired Real Madrid was indeed in poor performance. Because basically their midfield has not recovered after Kroos left. So now Real Madrid really has to fix this in any way. Because you are right Real Madrid does not need to bring in players who are exactly the same as Kroos in terms of skill, because of course that would be very difficult. Because the most important thing is Real Madrid can fix their midfield so that it is good again. Because if a team's midfield is not good, of course it will greatly affect the attack line and also the defense line.
This is proven, in the last season Real Madrid often conceded goals and the flow of their attacks was less than optimal. So Xabi as the new coach at Real Madrid must immediately make improvements to Real Madrid's midfield before next season starts. Because on the world club cup stage I see that Real Madrid still has gaps that could be a threat if not addressed immediately. Not only the midfield, but also the defense line of Real Madrid must be fixed a little more, so that they can have a more maximum performance. So hopefully Xabi can do his best for Real Madrid's, like he did for Leverkusen.
