The German footballer Toni Kroos breaks off an interview with ZDF after winning the Champions League final – and is celebrated for it on social networks. Why actually?
Toni Kroos, again Champions League winner with Real Madrid and sensitive to more critical journalists’ questions.
The most furious duel only took place after the game, it lasted two minutes and it was won by Toni Kroos. The German soccer player, who has won the most international titles in his career, needed only one word in the television interview to rhetorically hit the ZDF reporter Nils Kaben: “Shit questions”. Kroos got more applause for it on social networks than for anything he had previously shown on the pitch in the Champions League final. The swear word was better than any pass. Nils Kaben only wanted to talk to Kroos about something that was obvious to everyone who saw the game: Kroos had won the final with Real Madrid, but Liverpool had been better.
