Toni Kroos has revealed what he and Cristiano Ronaldo were so eagerly talking about as they covered their mouths and had an on-pitch chat after Germany\u2019s 4-2 victory over Portugal\u00a0on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The former Los Blancos bosom buddy teammates hid their mouths from prying cameras while engaging in a lengthy conversation after the final whistle. Portugal defender Pepe came over later to greet Kroos, making it a full-on Real reunion.<\/p>\n
Now the Germany midfielder has opened up on to explain that they were talking about the tournament and also on whether Ronaldo\u00a0liked playing in Italy.<\/p>\n
“I played with Ronaldo for four seasons – and I am not exaggerating when I say that I had the greatest successes with him and thanks to him,” said Kroos on his Einfach mal Luppen podcast, via Sun Sport.<\/p>\n
“We were neighbours in the dressing room throughout that period and I was glad to see him. We haven’t seen each other for a long time; [Real] haven’t played against Juventus.<\/p>\n
“We talked briefly about the match and the upcoming matches. I wish them the best of luck, I hope they qualify for the next round, just like us.<\/p>\n
“Also, I asked how Italy suited him because he has been there for three years.”<\/p>\n
Kroos and Ronaldo were crucial parts of the Real Madrid team that won three Champions League titles in a row from 2016 to 2018, so it’s great to hear the bond between them is still strong.<\/p>\n
In fact, the catch-up didn’t end there as they swapped match shirts in the changing rooms in Munich.<\/p>\n
“After a game you don’t have all the time in the world,” Kroos added.<\/p>\n
“In the dressing room we exchanged shirts. I liked seeing him again.”<\/p>\n
