Kroos plays mainly as a central midfielder, but has also been deployed as a deep-lying playmaker in his career.

Toni Kroos, born on January 4, 1990, in Greifswald, Germany, has had a remarkable football career marked by his technical skill, game vision, and passing ability. His journey from the youth categories to becoming one of the most accomplished midfielders in football is a testament to his talent and work ethic.

Kroos originally left the German squad after being knocked out of Euro 2020 in the Round of 16, capping a string of disappointing performances. The midfielder wore the German jersey 106 times.

But the return of one of those players, Toni Kroos, is among the signs of fresh hope for the Euro 2024 hosts. Kroos returned to the German team three years after quitting the international game in the wake of Germany's tame exit to England in Euro 2020 (played in 2021).
