Real Madrid and Toni Kroos have had a successful start to the season. First, the royals won the European Supercup by beating Frankfurt 2-0, then the Spanish record champions also got the first three of the season with a 2-1 win on the first day of the league.

However, there was also a piece of news that Madrid fans will probably not remember positively: Successful coach Carlo Ancelotti has announced that after his contract ends in 2024, he will Career end and will also leave Real Madrid. The Italian won with his team last season Champions League and became Spanish champion. He was also coach in Madrid from 2013 to 2015, during which time he also celebrated a Champions League win and won the Spanish Cup.

Felix talks about the end of Toni's career

In the current podcast episode 'Einfach mal Luppen', which Toni Kroos publishes with his brother Felix, they both talk about Ancelotti's decision. Toni puts it: 'He's a smart man and of course he knows, especially after this long coaching career, that it doesn't get any better anywhere. It can't be more demanding anywhere, but it's not better either.'

Felix then brings up the conversation about the possible end of Toni's career, says that he has often said that he also wants to end his career in Madrid and asks whether it is possible for Toni to end his career together with Ancelotti in 2024. 'It's theoretically possible, of course. I can say more about that at a later point in time,' replies Toni Kroos, leaving the timing of his career end open.

In addition to the end of their careers, the two Kroos brothers also talk about the dispute between Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte in the London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. After the final whistle, the two clashed violently and saw the red card after a scuffle. Toni Kroos classifies: 'I don't find it dramatic, there are emotions and a bit of aggressiveness. As a player, you think that's kind of awesome, how a coach really does everything for the result and for the team out there.'

Toni and Felix then talk briefly to Timo Werner about Chelsea FC. The German national player was under contract in London for the past two years and has now moved back to Leipzig. Actually, the 26-year-old should record the entire episode as a guest, but since he is carrying out and organizing his move, he sent the brothers voice messages.

When asked if he now sees the move from Chelsea back to Leipzig as a step backwards, Werner explains: 'It doesn't feel like a step backwards because for me the fun am Soccer is in the foreground and I lost that a bit at Chelsea because I didn't play much. That's why I'm looking forward to attacking again at Leipzig.' For him, the priority now is to be fit for the World Cup in winter.

In addition, Werner should give reasons why his time in Chelsea did not last longer. 'I wanted to play more and didn't play enough last year. The game system that the coach let play didn't work so perfectly for me anymore,' he explains the reasons for his move. At least in the first game after his return to Leipzig, everything seems to have worked out. With his first shot on goal, Werner scored at 2:2 Cologne .
