Toni Kroos's criticism of the footballers who went to Saudi Arabia this season

The Arab football league will have the best season in its entire history this season. After the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in January 2023, many clubs were encouraged to accept the million-dollar contracts from said league to leave Europe, despite having a competitive rhythm of being among the best clubs in the world.

At first it was thought that many footballers would go to this competition in the final stretch of their careers, but the reality is that little by little the Saudi Pro League clubs convinced footballers like Neymar or Ruben Neves, who were old enough to continue for a few years. more in Europe. However, the most surprising case is that of Gabri Veiga, who was booked at the age of 21.

This situation has bothered many European footballers, especially veterans like Toni Kroos who spent a large part of their career in the best clubs. "(It's complicated) when players who are in the middle of their careers, who have the quality to play for the big clubs in Europe, decide to opt for those transfers," Kroos said in an interview with 'Sports Illustrated' magazine, in the one who also argued that "what would prevent him" from playing in Saudi Arabia is the situation of human rights in that country.

What else did Toni Kroos say?

A criticism focused on the moment in which the players decide to make that decision: "Each one has to make this decision for himself, as Cristiano Ronaldo decided, for example." He defended that it is not the same to do it with the whole race ahead or in the middle of it, than at the moment it is finishing.
