Practically two weeks after the elimination of Germany, Toni Kroos returned to the famous hand of Marc Cucurella, which could have offered a decisive penalty to Mannschaft. The former Real Madrid midfielder wants the referee a lot.
“I have retained myself until today …”
Toni Kroos had not yet mentioned the subject, but the former Real Madrid midfielder returned to the elimination of Germany during Euro 2024, and in particular on the action that changed everything. During the overtime, while the score was 1-1, the Mannschaft could have obtained a penalty on a hit with the hand by Marc Cucurella.
In the podcast he holds with his brother, Kroos explains that he did not see the hand at the moment. It was by reviewing the images, after the fact, that he understood the situation. “I only got angry when I saw him later … let’s be there”,, he railedBy refusing to go too far in his rant.
Kroos wants the referee
Kroos, however, clearly wants referee Anthony Taylor.
“He estimated that he did not even need to review the action. I think the problem is that he said to himself that if he saw the action again, he was forced to give the penalty ”Estens the German, who may not know the regulations very well. As a reminder, however, it is not up to the main referee to “decide” to go and see a disputed action. It is up to the Var to point out to him a potential error, and to invite him to consult his control screen.
On the other hand, Toni Kroos is undoubtedly right when he adds that the regulations are difficult to understand. “The referees themselves do not know at 100 percent what is the interpretation”, regrets the 2014 world champion.
