New Real Madrid signing Jude Bellingham has revealed his awe at the quality of Toni Kroos.
Having trained with Kroos for the first time, Bellingham admitted that the 33-year-old German is indeed master on the ball.
“He [Kroos] is a master. One of the things I have noticed is the detail in his pass. The ball goes where he wants,” Bellingham told reporters outside Valdebebas.
“We’ve only been there for a week, so it’s normal that he’s still fine-tuning his playing, but for a person who has seen him from the outside, now seeing him up close, it’s a pleasure, a luxury.
“To be honest, it’s a pleasure to receive the ball from Kroos. I’m also trying to show him what I know how to do and how we can work together to help each other develop a good game.”
