This is Kroos getting his award.

“The last game [against Spain] seems like it was just yesterday.” Following his win, Kroos said, “I think we’ve done something in the last three months that we haven’t done in a few years: we now have a team that inspires the fans.”

.

“The team has a chance to start over because a few key players are no longer on it.” I only want people to back the national team and cheer them on.

“I know the boys on the national team as guys and as players.” I believe they should have people behind them.

He also says, “We saw at the Euros that it’s easier for the players when the country is behind them than when there are doubts.”
