Numerous football experts and world-class coaches described Kroos as a “complete midfielder” or someone that has a potential to be more than just a playmaker for his team. Eventually, these statements lead towards the question of “Is Toni this good because he works hard or it is just because of the natural talent he possesses?” Our answer is BOTH. There’s no doubt that the German international is talented, but he also works really hard during the off-season.
Toni also looks over his diet. His meals mainly consist of food rich in protein and carbohydrates. It is worth mentioning that he rarely eats junk food and completely avoids it during the season.
