Toni Kroos chats out of the sewing box: So he could have been a tennis player!
In the current podcast "A to Z" by Alexander and Mischa Zverev, the former football professional Toni Kroos, who is considered one of the most successful German kickers, causes a stir. During their entertainment, which will be published on Wednesday, the Zverev brothers who are successful in tennis talk about everything possible, from Kroos ’impressive Champions League successes to his own experiences in sport.
The 34-year-old Kroos won six Champions League titles in his career and promised to be there at Alexander's next Grand Slam final. "The word stands. You don't lose the thing with me," joked Kroos and refers to his flawless record in the finals. This announcement shows the friendship and support that exists between the athletes, with Kroos the number 2 of the tennis world assures his support.
Kroos' path to football and his thoughts about tennis
Interestingly, Kroos discovered his passion for tennis very early. "I played badminton before football. My mom was a GDR champion, so I quickly liked the tennis," he explained to the Zverev brothers. When he spoke about the difference between team and individual sports, he emphasized that tennis offers much more individual freedom of choice. He pointed out that with tennis you can design your own team composition and support according to your own needs, which is not possible in team sport.About his football career, he said that the constant trips and being away from the family would have been troubled by the family. His resignation in the front row of the best players was well thought out: "I always wanted to stop at an absolute top level. Standing trips made me tired." This awe before the competition shows Kroos' respect for the challenges that professional athletes have to master.
Zverev, who is considered a French Open finalist, offered his own humorous view of the opportunity to be a football professional himself. "I once made myself a monkey in front of 30,000 spectators in the Allianz Arena," he laughed about his experience in football. But while both athletes shine in different disciplines, they ultimately combine their passion for the competition.
future prospects and social issues
Kroos also spoke about planned projects after his career, including the opening of a youth academy in Madrid, to promote and train the next generation of athletes. He emphasized the importance of adequately supporting the sport and less noticeable disciplines. "We do not promote so -called marginal sports. These athletes fight for recognition for years, and that is a problem," he explained and thus addressed an urgent topic in sports.
his perspective as a successful athlete also gives Kroos a unique view of the differences between the sports. He praised Real Madrid for their clever recruitment strategy and noted that it is similar in tennis: "The top 10 world in tennis also have a great preliminary and back, but those who are still strong at 15:40 differ from the others." This insight not only testifies to his deep understanding of sport, but also from his experience and analytical thinking.
he concluded with comments about his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo and his tireless ambition, who was always inspiring for him. Kroos justified his view that, without a strong team performance, individual awards in football were worthless, and thus reflected on his own career and the advantages of team sports.
The episode of the podcast not only offers an insight into Kroos' life after football, but also illuminates, like two sports that differ greatly at first glance, share many common values and challenges that are associated with success and perseverance.
