Kroos backs 'unpredictable' Germany for Euro 2020 glory

The Real Madrid midfielder believes that the 2014 World Cup winners are capable of chasing down another major international honour next summer

Toni Kroos has backed Leroy Sane, Julian Brandt and Serge Gnabry to make Germany contenders for Euro 2020, describing the Joachim Low's current squad as better than the one that crashed out of the World Cup.

Kroos told the Kolner Stadt-Anzeiger that Low's creative young players can turn the country's fortunes around, saying: "I have a very good feeling for the European Championship 2020.

"Our goal is still to dominate games, but we are looking more purposeful the way we go forward. Especially in attack we have players who can cause teams problems, like Sane, Brandt, Gnabry.

"That makes us more unpredictable and better than at the World Cup."

Kroos also fired a broadside at club coaches who he feels are not developing players and instead push German stars to churn out results regardless of how they play.

The 29-year-old playmaker has spent the last five seasons at Real Madrid, where he has played under Carlo Ancelotti, Rafael Benitez, Julen Lopetegui, Santiago Solari and Zinedine Zidane, but he indicated that he feels some Germany players are not having their talents nurtured.

"I would wish that there are more coaches who pay attention to the fact that their team plays football, instead of only focusing on results and points," said Kroos.

The World Cup winner will do all he can to pass on the experience he has collected down the years.
