Following the conclusion of the match against Betis, Ancelotti addressed the media about a variety of topics, including the need to replace Kroos in the upcoming campaign. “No,” Ancelotti replied. Bellingham performs better the closer it gets to the opponent’s goal, and Kroos is unmatched in the industry in terms of attributes. We’ll need to find a substitute for it. We have a variety of excellent midfield players, so we will need to adjust to their unique traits come next season.

He has shown a tremendous deal of character and it’s excellent that he said goodbye in such a dɾamatic way, even if no one could have predicted it. We have been fortunate to have such a tremendous football character here, and now he is bidding farewell. Great players have been appreciated by football.

Ancelotti about Kroos’s farewell: “The Bernabéu has given him the send-off he deserves.” Everyone has had an incredibly emotional night, which has been wonderful. Even so, we are fortunate to have it for an additional week. Obviously, it’s been among the biggest. A superb medium with an amazing personality, little ego, humility, and a strong sense of altruism that always puts the team first. How fortunate to have had it for a decade.

“It’s a wonderful farewell to a player who has achieved something truly remarkable for this team—a legend. And it’s the proper farewell.

People need to take greater responsibility for the environment, and on a technical level, you have to be able to see it. We can see a more vertical game in which participants play for shorter periods of time but with greater enthusiasm.
