The Story of Toni Kroos

• I mentioned above that his parents are both sports enthusiasts. In such an environment, it was difficult for Toni not to be influenced by them, and he also developed a great interest in sports. Although his academic grades were not particularly good, he was a disciplined student at school and an important member of the school's football team. His father, Roland, was in charge of training him, and under his father's guidance, Tony gradually developed some amazing skills. Slowly, Tony began to put in a lot of time training himself.

• His first official football game was with the local football club "Greifswalder FC". He played for them until the age of 17 when he joined the youth team of "Bayern Munich". Although he neglected his studies because of football training, but fortunately his efforts in football paid off and he was selected to the "Bayern" senior team.

• He made his first appearance for Bayern Munich in September 2007 in the "Bundesliga" against "Energie Cottbus". He was only 17 at the time.

• In July 2014, "Real Madrid" officially announced the signing of Toni, mentioning that he would join their team until 2020. Finally, on August 12, 2014, he made his debut for Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla, which eventually won the game. He played an important role in this game.

• His international record has also been excellent over the years. Also because of his outstanding performance he won a place in the German national team. He scored five goals in the 2007 Under-17 World Cup and won the Ballon d'Or at the end of the game. Anyone who knows this award should know that the Ballon d'Or is only awarded to the best player in the game.
