He has not been a member of the DFB team for six months.

He has not missed it so far - but this could soon change for Toni Kroos.

Munich / Madrid - It has been almost six months to the day since he wore the jersey with the eagle on his chest one last time.

Toni Kroos * played for the German national team for the last time in the bitter European Championship on June 29th in the round of 16 against England (0: 2).

He then ended his DFB career after 106 games.

Will the 31-year-old miss the international matches?

So far, apparently not, as he reveals in his podcast “Simply Luppen”, which he shares with brother Felix.

"Now, half a year after my resignation, it's not that I was missing anything," explains the Real Madrid star.

Sensational comeback?

Above all, the last international matches of the year “in North Macedonia or at home against Liechtenstein were all encounters where even before that, as an active player, you said 'okay, you have to play them'”, says Kroos: “But it's not the games now where it tingles so extremely. "

It could look different if we head towards the World Cup next year.

"When you know what is going on in a team so that you are there for a goal, I think that during a tournament you will say 'Wow, the game would be great if all of Germany is looking' “, Reveals Kroos.

Is there still a rethink in the making?

The 2014 world champion hung up his DFB shoes after the European Championship last summer.

Even new national coach Hansi Flick could not persuade Kroos to continue.

At the Royal in Madrid, things are going really well again for the ex-FCB star.

Real greets from the top of the LaLiga table and is in the second round of the premier class - also thanks to the strong performance of Kroos.
