Toni Kroos revealed under what circumstances he would not retire

Toni Kroos retired after the conclusion of UEFA Euro 2024. However, he recently revealed under what circumstances he would not have made this decision.

Details: In an interview with German tennis player Alexander Zverev, Kroos shared his love for tennis, mentioning that his mother was once a professional badminton player and that he himself had tried his hand at the sport. He noted that if he were a tennis player, he would not have retired yet.

Quote: "If I were a tennis player, I wouldn’t have stopped. You sit here with your brother, record a podcast. In team sports, that's not possible. You decide whether to bring your wife and kids to tournaments.

You choose who will be part of your team, who will sit in the box, and who will sleep in your bed the night before the match. In team sports, it’s different," said Kroos.

Reminder: Recently, Kroos harshly criticized the referees for a mistake in his final match. He stated that it took UEFA nearly three months to understand what was immediately obvious to everyone.
