Recently, Real Madrid legend Kroos was interviewed by the Milan Sports Daily and talked about multiple topics.

I just asked you a question about a 40-year-old player, but now there is a 17-year-old child competing for the Golden Globes. What do you think of Yamal?

"I also played in Bayern's first team at the age of 17, but my level at that time was incomparable to Yamal. Yamal's talent was amazing. I've never seen a player of this kind of performance at this age. Especially stability, because everyone can see talent, but continuous and stable performance is the most rare."

"What makes me think Yamal special is that he constantly tries to play the leading role on the court, and even in difficult times, he dares to stand up. This is unusual at the age of 17. Usually, players of this age can play good balls when they are down, but they often hide and dare not ask for the ball in adversity. It is difficult to say to their teammates, "Give me the ball, I'll solve it. ', and he is different, he will do this. "

"Yamar has played two very outstanding seasons, and this recent season is even more perfect. I have never seen such a mature 'child'. But I always say that a career is not a sprint, but a marathon. We also have to see how Yamal will develop in the next 5 to 10 years, see if he can continue to grow, and how he deals with the various challenges brought by football. "

"Success is not just about the performance of the court. Factors off the court will also greatly affect you. You must know how to handle all aspects of your life well. "

How do you view the new competition system of the Champions League?

"I like it very much, the new competition system works well. Even in the final stage of the Swiss round, there are many interesting games, which are difficult to appear in the group stages of the past four teams. Then there are the play-offs of the knockout rounds, which are full of tension and high value, and they didn't have one before."

"Overall, it's very interesting, I really like it, and I think the fans are the same. It's also lucky for Paris Saint-Germain, because they didn't perform well in the first stage, but they won the final championship."

Talking about the Champions League final?

"I watched the game live. Before the game, I thought Paris might win, but I didn't expect it to win so easily. It really surprised me that the advantage was so obvious. It is actually rare to have such a big gap in the final. Usually, everyone will play more cautiously due to tension and pressure, and defense is preferred, but Paris played very well in this game."

How did Inter Milan achieve twice in the Champions League final in three years?

"I have a positive view. Inter Milan deserves these two finals. Of course, Inter Milan has some luck at some moments, such as Bayern performed better overall in the quarter-finals, and played very hard against Barcelona in the semi-finals. But being able to reach the end in the end means that you are indeed worthy of that place. Although the final is difficult and regretful, it must look at the entire journey. It is not easy to get to that step."

What do you think of Serie A now?

"I have experienced many difficult seasons. The overall level of Serie A has indeed declined before, but I think the situation has improved significantly now. I remember that there were several seasons when I played against Italian teams, I felt that they were unfast and lack competitiveness."

"But in the past two or three years, this situation has changed. Serie A teams have returned to a good level: not only reached the final of the Champions League, but Atalanta also won the Europa League. Now there are three to four teams that can have truly high competitiveness against the strong teams of Spain and England. The level improvement is very obvious, and the only thing I lack now is a Champions League championship."

The last question, why choose to cooperate with the Marc O’Polo brand?

"This is very simple, because I like this brand very much and I wear it often. We are very compatible in style. I will not cooperate with brands I don't really like, but this time I have no hesitation. And we also have common values ​​in the concept of sustainable development."
