Real team-mate wants to retire, Kroos says 'not over yet'

Toni Kroos made the announcement in May. He will say goodbye to football at the end of this year's Euro. After Kroos's announcement, every match in the knockout stages of the Euros is now Kroos's last possible match, that is, Kroos' departure will be confirmed with Germany's defeat. And on the other side of the coin, if Kroos wins the next three games in a Germany jersey, his international football will end with the title as well as club football.

Kroos himself said that he does not see his end in the quarter-finals against Spain. Want to stop winning the title. Kroos' Spanish teammate Joselu, however, wants to confirm the departure of the German star a little earlier. If not, Spain's dream journey will stop in the last eight.

Germany and Spain have spread the most fascination in this year's Euro so far. But due to the schedule, the two teams are going to face each other in the last eight, that is, one of the teams between Germany and Spain will have to leave the Euro before the semi-finals.

Kroos, however, is optimistic about his team's survival. He said, 'We will be in the tournament for some more time. I don't think (Friday's) match is going to be my last match.

Kroos, one of the heroes of Germany's World Cup victory in 2014, said goodbye to international football in 2021. However, coach Yulian responded to Naglsman's call and came back from retirement. On his return, Kroos said, "My return has to do with the goal of winning the Euros." If I hadn't seen the opportunity to achieve this with the team, I wouldn't have come back.'

However, his Real Madrid teammate Joselu wants to stop Kroos' dream of winning the Euro in the last eight. He said, 'We hope this will be his last match. It's a match that isn't special because of his presence. It's a quarter final match against a great team. We hope Tony (Cruise) retires on Friday. I talked to him a lot and he gave me a lot of advice. We have to be careful about him.
