An old naughty boy in the sports world

In the opening game of the 2024 European Championship in Germany, the host Germany defeated Scotland 5-1 and got off to a good start, with a total of 6 goals provided by German players, specifically for Wirtz to score the first goal of this European Cup, Havertz assisted Musiala to extend the advantage, and Portius scored a penalty from the red dot package; Phil Krueger blasted home and Toni Rudiger scored an own goal and Emre Can scored in stoppage time.

The 34-year-old dominated the game in passing, setting a record for the first time in history, completing 101 of 102 passes in 80 minutes of playing time, a 99 per cent pass completion rate. According to Opta, this is the highest pass completion rate of any player who has completed more than 100 passes in a single game since the Championship began in 1980. The older he gets, the more demons shine in Kroos, who is an unrivalled midfield master with his individual passing skills as he is perfect.

Kroos is a real master of passing, and he has a full impact on the game, and Germany still needs to rely on Kroos's output if they want to win the championship in this tournament. Kroos has always been a masterpiece of champions, having won 6 Champions League titles, 4 La Liga titles and 3 Bundesliga titles in his career, and in 2014 Kroos also helped the German men's football team win the World Cup, he is a proper winner in life.

Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann still sees Kroos as the heart of the team, saying: "Toney is very important for us and you can pass the ball to him at any time. He's the heart of the team. "It's a testament to Kroos' status in the team!

Unfortunately, Kroos, who can still help win the Champions League this season, has announced his retirement, and he previously announced in May that he would retire from football after the European Championships, so this European Championship will be Kroos himself's last dance.

It is a pity in world football that a player who is arguably one of the best midfielders of the era chose to retire while he was still playing. For Kroos, ending his career with a trophy is the best way to end his career, having already won his sixth Champions League trophy for Real Madrid, and now that he is at the European Championships, he naturally wants to say goodbye to the competition as a winner.

However, the German men's football team has not achieved good results in international competitions in recent years, and has failed to win the past three major competitions, especially the two World Cups have stopped in the group stage, and the last European Cup has stopped in the round of 16, and the comprehensive results are too poor. Although Germany is the host of this European Cup, it is still not favored to win the championship, and it will be difficult for Kroos to complete the final dance.
