Toni Kroos shared after the match of the German national team

In the final match of Group A, Germany had an emotional last-minute draw against Switzerland. Coach Murat Yakin’s team took the lead thanks to Dan Ndoye in the 28th minute, but Niclas Fullkrug’s goal in the 90+2 minute took away the away team’s victory.

The draw helped the two teams move on with the first two positions in Group A. However, Toni Kroos was not satisfied that the German team was ahead. The midfielder born in 1990 said that the home team did not deserve to concede first.

Accordingly, Kroos said: “I’m happy that the team passed the group stage with the leading position. We showed belief in ourselves until the last minutes and this means a lot to the whole team.

But I don’t think the German team deserved to be ahead in this match. The whole team controlled the match well and received results in the last minute. But it is matches like this that prove that the German team can play well when they are behind.

That spirit helps the German team a lot, as I have said many times. Today, Switzerland played well, but Germany was the team that held the initiative. Unfortunately, we conceded from our opponent’s first chance.”

Against Switzerland, Kroos continued to show excellent performance. The home team’s number 8 touched the ball the most (127 times), passed the most (98 times), and passed the most passes into the final third of the opponent’s field (28 times). Along with that, they created 4 opportunities – equal to the entire Swiss national team combined.
