How Toni Kroos Went From Bayern Reject To Football Legend
Vložit

- While you might look at his career now and see how insanely legendary it is, there was a time when Toni Kroos, even for as quality as he was at a young age, was absolutely disrespected, and under appreciated and rejected - it’s almost insane to think that a youngster with the footballing intelligence and skill he had would get that sort of treatment. Let's look at how Toni Kroos became one Bayern's biggest regrets.

You should do a video on Paco Gento because he has 6 Champions Leagues too
@@MatchMan7yeah but he won those champions leagues when triceratop scored a trivela/dinosaur era
tysm for makin a vid on my boy kroos
Do a video on franz beckenbauer
sory i am 2.42 in and what was said was only said to keep kroos with his feet on the ground. in germeny they dont want superstarts in the national team. how the keeper let the 3-2 go whas just bad
He paid Bayern back by kicking them out every single time he faced them
Facts now bayern have to hire NFL player Kompany
I will never understand how we let him leave

😎👍
Kroos doesn’t even have more trophies than Xavi or Iniesta 😂
I see..thats why kross win 2 euro and 2 treble..right?😂😂😂
@@power279 They think kroos sits at the same table as Xavi and Iniesta 😭😭
@@ez3532Kroos has more champions league then fc Barcelona club…
Even calling him a sidepass merchant is disingenuous because there is no player who has more forward passes in Europe than Toni Kroos
his own people calling him that 😭 but he does resemble a spanish style of play German fans I guess didnt appreciate
@@RaymarFootball Yeah that's a good point. Never thought about that! Because I'm of the mind that if a player is efficient in the team everything else doesn't matter.
@@RaymarFootballWe did appreciate it when it worked. When it stopped working and our squad did basically just pass the ball around the enemy box with 70% posession 0 goals every game, of course the masses will blame it on the most promising talent we have. He's much much appreciated still and one of the greatest we ever had. Glad he won the Cl on his farewell
@@RaymarFootballBro I think you should have definitely addressed the side pass merchant claim with progressive passing stats.
@@felixro5884 thats not toni's fault. He is gonna do his thing, you have to surround him with top players who can finish all the chances he creates
Bayern Munich pushed him out only for him to finish his career with 6 champions league wins, same as Bayern in their history (6 in 50 years).
2:18 Still can't believe all this hate and disrespect on Kroos at 17 years old. crazy
Life's not fair people disrespect you when you're young and now he's a legend
@@99alp99fila Kroos got subbed in and made a massive difference in the win 🤣 he couldnt even give him a little acknowledgement, honestly sums up his career in Bayern
This interview often gets misinterpreted. The Bayern manager Uli Hoeneß just wanted to guard Toni and to reduce all the hype around him, because often young players get too quick and too much hype and attention, which they can't handle at that young age. Uli is known for his aggressive manner towards journalists but players and club members always describe him as a "father figure".
real
@@RaymarFootball well said
He has the Same amount of UCLs as Bayern Munich. That says it all.
one of them was with BM tho
As a german, I've always felt bad for him, how only a few people appreciated his play. Hes the one who controls the pace of his teams play. Him doing this for 9 straight seasons for Real are speaking for itself.
Genau!
Well said.
Ne Schande...
War er wirklich so unbeliebt in Deutschland? Dass Bayern ihn nie wertgeschätzt hat, ist mir bekannt... Aber das gesamte Land?
Toni Kroos is the prime example of how a completely wrong narrative is widely accepted just by constantly repeating.
The wrong narrative here is that Kroos wasn't appreciated. He was much appreciated even by the ones who actually called him "Querpass-Toni".
I know someone who was part of the negotiating team that brought him to Spain and even the Real Madrid negotiating team couldn't believe Bayern Munich were letting him go. They though the Bayern people were trying to punk Real Madrid (kind of like Mbappe did two years ago).
Selling Kroos is singlehandedly the worst decision BM made in the past 30 years. It was such a bad decision that people should've been fired on the spot for it.
@@MrIkOgNiTo Im sure Germans like him also bc his 2014 world cup was elite, he was literaly the best player in the competition
Bayern board now cried on the corner
they had a monster squad back then and overlooked Kroos and his importance
LOL no its not like we go bankrupt and everyone know how Madrid won ucl
@@RaymarFootball monster but old.. they dont regenerate the team, look real madrid and man city. They pass to young generation so smooth
@@GLT-fk7bg and youre lucky bayern is spoken in the same setence with real madrid
@@RaymarFootball hai raymar.. i love your channel
Yes we robbed Bayern! 25M for Toni Kroos is absolutely robbery!!
I am not a Madrid fan, but it always gives me great joy seeing Madrid and Kroos win something, because I know Hoeneß and Rummenigge will be fuming. Fuck these dumbasses.
Its not when you have functional braincells and considering his 1 year contract left and the 2014 market overall.
@@MichaelDancificationBayern undervalued kroos. Looking back 25 million is a steal, specifically when seeing how much other midfielders went for.
@@mojopin127 You don‘t understand that huh? If Bayern asked for 35-50 million you really think Madrid would go for that? Not a single soul in 2014 would have paid that amount for a player whose contract has one year left. That has nothing to do with undervalued but logical negotiations. A 4-5 years contract would jump Kroos to a 50-60 million player at that time. 25 million was right for the circumstances and ge wanted to leave so Bayern sold him instead of letting him go for free one year later.
@@MichaelDancification but he wanted to leave cuz Bayern undervalued him. You think Bayern looks back at their decision and has no regrets? They absolutely let a gem leave cuz they thought they had better options but how long did those options last. Kroos is just retiring. All the others fell off years ago.
What I like most about him is his demeanor: quiet, humble, never flashy - but absolutely deadly where it counts on the pitch.
It's a refreshing contrast to all the players who act like divas or children on and off the pitch.
True
Kroos and Modric sit with the legends. When Kroos came to Madrid I didn't know what to expect from him, but as a fan I watched him cautiously. Tony became Iconic rather quickly and it taught be the undeniable beauty there is to playmaking, passing, precision, positioning, field awareness, tactics. Tony needs to run to be a coach, this man has the mind to be one of the greatest coaches in the world. Mark my words.
A future Germany coach for sure 🇩🇪
He went from undesirable, to undeniable to undisputed world heavyweight champion!!!!!
Cody Rhodes reference
Hell yeah!
In a german documentary about him he once said that he likes to do simple things and make them look easy. And thats why he is so important for Real Madrid because in a Team full of fancy players who can do fancy things u need the guy who does the simple things easily.
They also called him "Querpass Toni" (sidepass Toni) and in the semi final 24 against Munich the played maybe the most vertikal sidepass ever for the 2:2.
When you have the lineup around him that Real has had, it makes a guy like him fit in. He wasn’t being asked to make something out of nothing. Of course, making Real the perfect fit. But it’s hard to say what he would have done at a lesser club over, that’s the only question.
It's fair to say Toni Kroos is the greatest German player to ever grace the game of football, G/A won't tell you the full story you had to be there to witness greatness with your own two eyes
Better than Neuer ?
Go on... tell us your stories...
Nah. Let’s keep the pr down. Germany’s greatest player is Matthaus. In terms of individuality.
He’d definitely make their all time starting 11 with the likes of G Muller, Beckenbauer, Mathaeus, etc.
@@davidkener3754debatable Ballack, Ozil are definitely concrete as is muller. A midfield four would be Ozil, Muller, Ballack and Matthaus. So he’s probably outside that with Schweinsteiger and Effenberg when we’re looking at individual quality.
Kroos will always be an icon in Spain. Why he gets treated like that in Bavaria is absolutely baffling.
I still remember having him in my midfield of career mode on FIFA 09. He has become one of the greatest midfielders of all time.
Lets be honest, the old fifa games (06-13) had some crazy foreshadowing in terms of upcoming superstars🔥
Good times
There is something to be said for using multiple sets of statistics to define abilities and project future possibilities.
Now I know why Kroos decided to end his career.
If he really was unnoticed and unappreciated, this would be the perfect time to say
'oh, do I have your attention now?'
His decision making in real life certainly is as good as his decision making on the pitch. Pin point accurate.
I like how Kroos was so disrespected when compared to his Bayern and German teammates when he is now arguably the best out of all of them maybe barring Müller.
Kroos surpassed all German Footballers of 21st century. This man’s entire career was peak.
Hes a hypocrite, he joined the hate train against Ozil when he was facing abuse, now it came full circle. You reap what you sow
yeah he reaped what he sow, going out as a winner while bayern has the kane curse, got hosed by leverkusen and appointed a relegated manager with burnley of all clubs..he is better than muller and im not sorry for that statement. only Neuer is above him in this era.
@@tobznoobs ozil will always be better than him and more dominant than that rat Kroos.
@@ProudPanda_89 He correctly called out Ozil. Ozil was world class but fell off big time and instead of manning up about his poor play, he tried to deflect and make himself a victim. How come Gundogan didn't receive all of this "racism" or come to Ozil's defense?
His passing controlled every game he was in for his team.
It's a real shame players like this aren't appreciated more for being the metronome, the heartbeat of their clubs.
It feels like yesterday we got the World and European champion and now he is retiring not just from this club, but from football as a whole. It was beautiful. I am an Özil fan, and i have to say there are only a few midfielders whom i can point and say, they are better if not on the same level as him and kroos is easily one of them. Hoping he wins the only major title missing from his accolade, the Euros and then he would be able to retire having won every trophy possible by him.
he has 3 still very young kids, probably main reason for his retirement. yes he could have setted the bar even above recordbreaking 6 titels. but he knows he still can work as a tv moderator. more family, less work but still good payment. ,-)
Tbh honest I find it astonishing how some people called him boring. I haven’t seen any player to excite me as much as him

kroos is probably one of the greatest ever in his position, ending his career world class as well
Thank you for giving Kroos his flowers. For me he is one of the most technically gifted players. He reads the game like a book. Absolutely worldclass.
oh my word thank you for mentioning david silva. One of the best players i've ever seen and he doesn't even get a fraction of the recognition he deserves
gonna need to make a video on him for sure 🔥
Lies, city built a whole statue of him
@@thegoat8447He probably means how David Silva was about as good as Xavi and Iniesta, he rarely get mentioned today, just like Fabregas or Xabi who all were in there way about as good as one anotherz
In my opinion, he's the best player in the history of the new PL
Thanks Bayern... We got Kroos...
Kroos and Modric, the best mid field duo of Madrid which I witness with my eyes. Our Sniper ❤️
I'm glad I'm pretty much deaf to what pundits have to say. Toni Kroos has always been my favourite German player. Before I even started watching football religiously I knew of Toni Kroos.

More Champions League titles than Messi/CR7.
hes had more than Messi since 2018
Facts..but a CL title is a collective award. What individual award does he have more than Messi? Sorry to hurt your feelings.
@@luckylokk3478Messi fans crying 🤣. No one cares mate
Time flies it was yesterday he signed for real Madrid
@@chris.48LoL cope both messi and ronaldo have more individual awards than kroos and that is a fact
"Side passing merchant " joke of the century
Kross and Modric both are Legends,
Toni kroos had retired in his prime. But his entire career was a prime 🔥❤
My favorite midfielder so sad to see him retire but hes a legend a top 5 midfielder of all time, his composure sniper aim/firing there wont be a regista like u toni, so happy with the steal of the decade
Top 5 is way too damn high. 3 of his own country men are better than him as in Matthaus, Ballack and Ozil. Top 15-20. Let’s drop the pr please
@blank1933 treble winning world cup winning 6x ucl winner has won everything with both bayern and madrid, was amazing in the world cup has everything to be a top 5 midfielder
@@legittroll7245e.g. Platini, Laudrup, Baggio, Gullit, Matthaus etc etc. Kroos is not top 5 you have to be extremely limited to think that. And Muller was valued more in the international side. And at Bayern. This is pr
@blank1933 kroos is highly accurate and is top of that hes highly accurate for crosses/passes to the final third and foward passes his resume speaks for itself
@@legittroll7245it doesn’t matter that he’s highly accurate. On an individual level to think he is top 5 is maniacal. All those guys are named were insanely dangerous players. Kroos is extremely consistent but has never reached their level at any point of his career. KDB from is the closest midfielder from our generation to them.
The Orchestrator 🧠
Kroos is definitely one of the greatest ever
bayern munich even posted about his retirement pretending to give a damn which is crazy since they were the ones who kicked him out,im sure he would have loved to play for madrid if they extended his contract and increased his wages since he was their academy player
I can see him being a great manager
he’s the tim duncan of football
Honestly, the more I learn about Bayern as a club the more antipathy I feel for them
Been following bro since his leverkusen loan 🗣️ he’s been world class
If Kroos writes a book. I'm buying it.
Thanks for everything. Memories!!!!
Legend ❤
I was waiting for this moment, now people are gonna appreciate your work 🎉
He is the most humble footballer i have ever seen. And an absolute legend.
I am a huge Barcelona fan but this guy is a LEGEND 🙌
The only player I know who wore the same boots for years 😄
Kroos didn't shoot, he just made passes to the net when he scored. I am a fan of Toni Kroos forever
What a class player!!
He will be a great coach one day
The video i've been looking fr since ages.🔥🔥
Great video Raymar🔥🔥
As a Barca Fan, I really respected Toni Kroos and throughout his career, he's been playing the same boots which I find interesting to say at least
Congrats to Toni Kroos for his 6th UCL title and thank you for your video ❤
5th, he didn’t play in the ucl final 2013.
@@Quipie He did win it. He was injured but he played a major role in the whole campaign. You realise that Militao and Eden Hazard are champions league winners in 2024 and 2022 respectively?
Another zéro ball knowledge
@@sohtnax7809 can a player win the ucl without winning the UCL final, if so, why & how?
@@Quipie just being part of the squad gives you the trophy. Eden Hazard didn't play a single minute due to injury and bad form in 2022, and yet he is European champion
@@Quipieyes you can as long as you are registered by the club or play at least 1 match in that competition.
Bayern often buys players, benches them and devalues their reputations because they want to keep them away from other teams. This was just one of many such cases.
I remember when we signed him for 25 mil and I was so excited. I was like is this dude a lefty or righty. Saw the quality that he was and knew he would be a beast
I remember very well the moment that I had the news that Kroos went to Real Madrid. I said: Well they must haved payed a LOT to get him. My friend said: Not really... 25M€. You can imagine my reaction (WTF???).
I never understood why he was so disrespected, why most people didn't appreciate his quality and intelligence on the pitch. Sure, he wasn't "flashy", but damn, he was so very consistently great with the way that he manipulated the opposite defense and was able to make perfect passes for his team mates.
It's natural, but also sad to see another amazing playmaker to say goodbye to the beautiful game. There aren't many players like him in this game's history.
He was respected
Just not by some of bayerns top brass
When he was 17/18 it was clear he was one of germanys greatest talents
25M for kross is a robbery
@@andre20005 haha nice one
Modric and kroos combination the best midfield
Toni Kross through pass is magical.
reymar posted 🎉🎉
The banger against Sweden in the 2018 WC is always going to be a certified banger.
Tony is one of the greatest midfieldersin football history
2:18 okay this is just childish behaviour
straight up hating on the kid 😭
I love how Kroos just shut up and got on with it! One of the best to ever do it 🔥
Hoeneß reacted in this way at the time to protect Kross from the press. Shortly before that, Sebastian Deissler, the greatest German talent at the time, was constantly put under pressure by the German press until he ended his career at a very young age with depression. I'm not a Bayern fan, but Hoeneß always protected his players.
Belittling the players at his club and intentionally talking down their performance has nothing to do with protection. For whatever reason Hoeneß didn't like Toni Kroos that much. He used almost every occasion to show his disrespect and Rummenigge isn't that much better. Kroos however paid back by eliminating Bayern in UCL and delivering that amazing pass to Vini in Munich.
Things will eventually be on its place, Bayern Munich never deserved him because he was meant for bigger things.
Always loved this dude
Thanks toni 😢
Underrated comment!
8:14 lmao didnt expect to see this image here
🤣🤣🤣
It is often a mark of true genius, that a talent is only recognised much later than it should. Toni Kroos offered Bayern the future, but they just couldn't see it.
His last assist in club football came at a CL final to win his 6th trophy in the CL sums up his career
His passing accuracy jus shows how composed he is on the field , a passing phenome, he's one of my favorite Midfielders tbh and there are only few who can do what he does but they're not as accurate as kroos.
Kroos THE MIDFIELD GOAT
Goat
Same thing will probably happen to Alphonso Davies who’s recently been treated similarly by Bayern. Watch him come to Madrid and become the next Marcelo. Remember, he’s only 23 years old!
He does his job so well!!
Check him out putting a ball in the basket from afar on his 3. try (the other tries hitting the hoop). He’s got crazy skills!
that video is crazy😭😂
I knew Kroos was gonna be special even in his early days at Bayern... Never had the speed or dribbling... But consistently an excellent short or long passer and great on set pieces and cool as a cucumber... I was so happy when Real Madrid signed him and James in 2014... What an amazing investment it turned out to be ..
A world where speed and skill steal the spotlight that's some line and reality
It’s the reality of today’s game. Look into the stats of Modric Kroos iniesta and Xavi. Kroos is always coming first in key passes, progressive passes, passes into final third, interceptions, tackles, big chances created etc. even in goals and assists per game. But because the other 3 can do a silky body feint or skill there and there, they are seen as better, when I. Reality what makes a midfielder great Kroos clears them in only Xavi comes very close.
I hope we can see that marco reus video as well
Hello Raymar! I love your videos. Can you make a video about Gheorghe Hagi? Thanks!
Great suggestion!
When I used to play the old FIFA 16 Mobile, I got him in a free pack. Best pack luck ever for me in that game.
Who you got, Ray?
Mavs or Celtics?
For me the best midfielder ever ❤
These days, when my friends and I look back at tha career of Toni Kroos, I always say: "Told you so."
Hi Raymar I love you ❤️
Love you too @Soltzrose appreciate the support

Rummenige what a player
My dude, if you’re PLAYING for the first team Bayern at 17 you are by definition not being disrespected. That is insanely hard to break into and anyone allowed to do that at 17 is very clearly being held as a future star, full stop. 🛑
Legend
For the last 3 seasons, Kroos has had that insane pass accuracy while leading La Liga in yards advanced by his passes. Completely disproving the side-pass merchant nonsense
bayern mustve REGRET focusing their money on gotze instead of kroos. look at gotze rn hahaha
More champions league than most teams in Europe!!
His a icon I've been telling every
on of frendi
94% PASS ACCURACY ACROSS HIS ENTIRE CAREER, UNBELIEVABLE
The best of the best!
He also won champions league with 2 different teams like CR7 which is amazing
It's Him
.... He's Him...
Kroos has my ultimate respect…A True Legend
Raymar he was named the German Sniper because of his how special he was in the game.
