In the last hours, real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund They faced the final of the UEFA champions league 2023/2024. Wembley Stadium, England, witnessed a great game between the two teams, although they were the ‘whites’ those who established their hierarchy with the goals of Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr. However, this match was special for Toni Kroos because he was the last one to play with the Spanish team’s shirt since he announced his retirement from football. In that sense, Eddie Fleischman gave a fierce hint to Paolo Guerrero for this decision of the German midfielder.
The midfielder ‘Teuton’ He chose to end his career and, his successful time in the cast of the ‘White House’with the title of the ‘orejona’which meant number 23 at the individual level in this club, in the absence of the last step at the national team level with the Euro 2024.

Toni Kroos, LEGEND,” he first wrote on her Twitter account.
That was when Eddie Fleischmanwho had already mentioned how a footballer should retire, was full of praise for the mentality of ‘Antonio’ and his determination to know the exact moment when to hang the chimpunes.
“What a lesson from Toni Kroos. When you have the ‘roof’ in order, the career plan is clear and you are constantly setting challenges and goals, you know when to say ‘enough’. Kroos is an intelligent, mature, accomplished guy. “He doesn’t need his daddy or his mommy to tell him what to do,” he said.
And it is that Eddie Fleischman has reiterated on several occasions that Paolo Guerreroat 40 years old, is no longer the same as before and has asked that he be a complementary player, who can contribute in the second half, rather than as a starter, especially in the peruvian teamwhere it has been considered by coach Jorge Fossati.

And after the victory of the team led by Carlo Ancelotti, the man born in Greifswald, Germany, received a warm farewell from his team’s fans.
“I have really enjoyed the last week. It has been a spectacular atmosphere, I have tried to concentrate for the final because it was a football match that we wanted to win, I have prepared for the match all week. The first half didn’t go well, but it doesn’t matter, this team always keeps going, you have to score goals to beat us, otherwise in the end it will turn out the other way around. I am very happy to leave like this, there is no better way”, he declared to the press.
