We analyze the German's game to find out how he is contributing more and at a higher level to Real Madrid from a tactical point of view
Toni Kroos remains an irreplaceable piece for Carlo Ancelotti in Real Madrid's tactical scheme. His presence on the pitch is not only vital, but he constantly redefines the game and elevates the team's performance to new heights.
In this tenth season with Los Blancos, Kroos has not only established himself as a mainstay, but has further elevated his game, leaving an indelible mark on almost every match.
From MBP School of Coaches, this week we will dive into a detailed analysis where we will explore, in depth, what the German is bringing to the team's dynamic and how his influence impacts the development of the game.
One of Kroos' most outstanding qualities is his positional versatility, a characteristic that allows him to play in multiple roles within the midfield.
Whether playing as a left midfielder, as a sole holding midfielder or as a second holding midfielder, the no.8 demonstrates an unparalleled adaptability that provides the team with unparalleled tactical flexibility and exceptional performance.
For example, when Ancelotti chooses to play in a 4-3-3 formation, Toni usually occupies the left midfield position. But when Los Blancos play with the usual 4-4-2, which has been used regularly in the current season, he acts as a second holding midfielder, operating in a more offensive role than his teammate.
However, when Real Madrid are behind, it is then that Kroos assumes full offensive responsibility and acts as the sole containment.
If we delve deeper into Toni's application of the fundamentals of the game, we can see his mastery of a wide range of skills on the pitch.
