Toni Kroos’s farewell letter
“July 17, 2014, the day of my presentation at Real Madrid, was the day that changed my life. Identity is my life as a footballer, but above all, as a person. It was the beginning of a new life at the biggest club in the world. After a decade, this life ends today with the conclusion of the season.
In addition, this choice means that following the Euro this summer, my football career will come to an end. Real Madrid is and will always be my final club, as I have always stated.
I’m glad and proud of myself today for having recognized in my heart and mind the ideal time to make this choice. My goal has always been to reach the pinnacle of my profession. There’s only going to be one thing on my mind going forward, and nothing can pull me away from it: let’s aim for fifteen! HALA MADRID AND NOTHING MORE!”
