'He Is Fascinating' - Zidane Heaps Praise On Kroos
02 September, 2020
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane, who's widely considered among football's greatest midfielders ever, has insisted he's so happy to be able to say he has coached Toni Kroos.
The Germany star was an integral player for Los Blancos prior to Zidane's arrival in the club's hot seat, and has only seen his importance grow lately.
Kroos played an enormous role in the Spanish giants' three consecutive UEFA Champions League wins from 2016 to 2018, and is held in the highest regard by his French manager, who seemingly takes huge pride in coaching him.
"He will be remembered as a spectacular player, one of the best in the world in his position," Zidane told Real France.
"When I arrived, well, imaginable, I was really pleased to be his coach.
"It's true, when I retire, I am in a position to say that I trained Cristiano (Ronaldo), (Gareth) Bale, (Luka) Modric, (Sergio) Ramos. But I'll also say I coached Toni Kroos.
