Former Real Madrid star Toni Kroos praised young teammate Arda Güler, confirming that his increased participation in matches this season was well-deserved. "I'm happy that he's getting more playing minutes because he earned it technically. He's a young player you can count on in the future," the Spanish newspaper AS quoted Kroos as saying. Kroos also revealed his activities after retiring, explaining that he remains busy with daily work at his academy in Madrid, where he personally coaches two teams. In addition, he participates in charity events for his foundation, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. He added that Güler is a different type of player with an attacking style, but he possesses a unique technical skill that he used effectively for the team's benefit, and he expects him to leave a clear mark at Real Madrid for many years to come.
