Midfielder for the German national team Toni Kroos admitted in an interview with UEFA's press service that he returned to the national team because he believes in their victory at Euro 2024.
In the group stage, the hosts drew with Switzerland (1:1) and won against Hungary (2:0) and Scotland (5:1). In the Euro 2024 Round of 16, Germany secured a 2-0 victory against Denmark.
The idea of returning was tied to the goal of winning the Euros. If I didn't see the chance of achieving it with the team, I wouldn't have done it.
