How would Toni Kroos (32) have reacted if this faux pas had happened to ZDF reporter Nils Kaben (55)?
The Spanish journalist Cristina Cubero (54) described Kroos as one of the worst players at the World Cup in Qatar on the TV show “El Chiringuito”. The problem: Kroos resigned from the national team in July 2021 after 106 international matches, so he was not part of the DFB squad…

However, the Real Madrid star responded with a lot of humor on Twitter. Toni Kroos: “I knew that someone would blame me.” He also posted a laughing emoji. Another painful reminder: Germany was eliminated in Qatar in the preliminary round.
But it gets “even worse” for Kroos. Cubero had confused him with Thomas Müller (33), as she later explained. The journalist’s criticism was aimed at his long-time companion at Bayern and in the national team.
The journalist also took her mistake with humor. Cubero: “Hahahahahaha, sorry Toni. Deep admiration for you. I think your selection was a disappointment. But honor to you as a person.”
In the past, Kroos has also reacted less confidently. After winning the Champions League final in the summer, he quarreled with ZDF man Nils Kaben.

He had asked him if it was surprising that Real Madrid were still in such trouble against Liverpool (1-0). Kroos’ response: “You have now had 90 minutes to think of sensible questions. And now you’re asking me two shitty questions like this. I think that’s crazy!”
After that he stopped the interview. Of course, the two cases cannot be compared and by now Kroos should have made his peace with Kaben.
