and will kick off the with a duel marked by the beginning of the end of the career of Toni Kroos, who will play the first of the series of matches with which he will close an impeccable career of 17 seasons in which he emerged as one of the best midfielders of the last two decades.

Kroos will begin to say goodbye in what was once his house. The Allianz Arena of Bayern Munich, the club where he trained as a cadet and where he made his professional debut, will be the scene of his first farewell. There will be at least three (they will also face Hungary and Switzerland), but it would be a huge failure for Germany to be eliminated in the group stage.

Starting this Friday, as soon as referee Clément Turpin decrees the start of the match, every ball that Toni Kroos caresses will be almost a last taste for lovers of good football, who at club level fired the German midfielder almost two weeks ago in the final of the Champions League that Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund.

Kroos emerged victorious from that first round. He won his sixth European Cup and, together with Nacho, Modric, Carvajal and Gento, became the only player in history to win that many titles. Now he wants to add the Euro Cup to his showcases, a trophy that eludes him, the only one in a dizzying collection that reaches 33 victories.

Perhaps, that need to win everything, along with the call from coach Julian Nagelsmann, caused Kroos’ return to the ‘Mannschaft’ almost three years after announcing that he was retiring from the German national team (exactly, on July 2, 2021). ). His return is a relief for the engine room of a team that since winning the World Cup in Brazil 2014 has only accumulated disappointments.

Eliminated in the group stage in Russia 2018 and in Qatar 2022, and out of play in the round of 16 of the last Euro Cup, the team led for just nine months by Nagelsmann, Hansi Flick’s replacement, needs to make a difference. the table to settle again at the top of the football planet and give Kroos a worthy farewell.

With the return of Kroos, Nagelsmann has reset his midfield and introduced Robert Andrich as a necessary pawn to balance his team. The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, unheard of in Germany’s squad until he was 29, will be the perfect partner for the former Real Madrid player. One will put the pen and the other the sword: quality and muscle at the service of Germany.

But not only Kroos will be the protagonist of Nagelsmann’s team. Ilkay Gündogan as a pitcher, Antonio Rüdiger at the back and the young and cheeky wingers Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, will be key for a team that has doubts in goal with Manuel Neuer, criticized for irregular form, and who will be absent last time for Aleksandar Pavlovic, replaced by Emre Can due to tonsillitis.

And Scotland? The British team does not want to be a simple guest at Kroos’ party at the Allianz Arena. Under the orders of Steve Clark since 2019, he has achieved a small resurrection after decades of being unheard of in major tournaments. They managed to qualify for the last Euro Cup after 22 years absent from all the final phases and achieved another success after achieving a ticket to Germany.

Scotland will fight with their weapons: they are a physical team, dangerous from set pieces and that lives off the heart of Scott McTominay and the class of John McGinn. Andrew Robertson, injured in an ankle, and Paul Tierney, also contribute to a group that lost Lyndon Dykes at the last minute, their leading forward who will be replaced by Ché Adams, a player who is not a pure attacker.
