Toni Kroos dominates, harmonizes and distributes the game, making the team look like a team and not like loose players. As a German he has the confidence and an elegant arrogance that does not offend.

He moves through the countryside as if it belonged to him, as if he had lived there since time immemorial. He has the fast feet of Vinicius, the delicate scooter race of Rodrygo, that exquisite beast that is the spectacular Bellingham and, as a final contribution, the mental and physical agility of Brahim.
