Kroos is similar to me in his vision of the game German on German. Midfielder on midfielder. If there is one man in the world of football qualified to analyse the present form of Kroos , it is Bernd Schuster. Question: Hi, Bernd. Im calling to ask you about Kroos, Did you see Saturdays game? Answer: Yes, sure; I see all the games I can. He was one of the best. He did a bit of everything: defend, attack, give an assist, score one for himself. For Bales goal, it was quintessential Kroos - he recovers the ball, moves up the pitch and gives that deadly pass. He finished off the day with his own goal - shooting is something hes marvelous at. Q. You knew him very well. Did you expect him to adapt so quickly, especially to his present position? A. I can expect anything from Kroos because hes an intelligent player. And intelligence is something very important in football. As a player, he has it all: a vision of the game, short passes, long passes... but I still think that his best position, at least where I like him the most because his full potential can be exploited, is a little further up the pitch. Q. Do you see anything of yourself in him? A. We are similar in that we are both German, blonde and have the same vision of the game. Times have changed a lot since I played. When I played for Barça and Atlético I had a bodyguard behind me. I liked moving up the pitch a bit... Id put a bodyguard behind Kroos, too.
