Toni Kroos talks about Vini Jr and responds to Rooney’s “provocation”

This Monday, the 8th, Toni Kroos attended the pre-match press conference against manchester cityfor the semifinals of Champions League. Just like the coach Carlo Ancelottithe midfielder answered some questions about the confrontation, spoke a lot about the moment of vini jr and even responded to the controversy created by Wayne Rooney.

About Vini Jr, the German highlighted that the Brazilian is very young, has a lot to learn and should grow even more. “He is young and has to learn. If he’s always cool-headed and calm, he’s playing amazing. If he runs away a little… which is normal because sometimes they provoke him and sometimes the referees’ decisions don’t help.”said Kroos.

The midfielder also highlighted the great season that Vinicius has been doing, who almost did not miss Real Madrid due to injuries or anything like that, even though he was very hunted on the field. “How old is? 22? It’s also not normal to play so well all season, he’s never been injured. It seems very difficult for me to play against him because it doesn’t matter if he loses the ball once or twice.”he stated.

Finally, Toni Kroos was asked about the recent statement made by Wayne Rooney, a former English player. In his column in the British newspaper “The Times”, the former striker said that Manchester City would beat Real Madrid with ease. “(Real Madrid) will be crushed”he wrote.

Therefore, the German said that the cast is calm and used to statements of this nature. He even mentioned that the same thing happened last season, when Real Madrid also faced City in the semifinal. “Rooney? They said the same thing last year and we won the Champions League”concluded the midfielder.
