Toni Kroos decided to return at a time when the German national team was facing problems with the quality of personnel and the coaching bench. Die Mannschaft was eliminated in the group stage at both recent World Cups. At EURO 2020, the German national team only reached the round of 16.

Toni Kroos has played 106 times for Germany, scoring 17 goals and providing 19 assists. He was a key player in the “tanks” squad that won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
