🚨 🇩🇪 Toni Kroos on How the GOAT Criteria Kept Changing;
🗣️"What I find funny is how the narrative kept changing. In 2016, when Cristiano Ronaldo won the Euros while Messi still hadn't won an international trophy, many people still refused to call Ronaldo the GOAT.
Then Kylian Mbappé won the World Cup in 2018, and suddenly the World Cup wasn't enough to make someone the greatest.
But the moment Messi finally won it in 2022, the same people started saying, 'You can't be the GOAT without a World Cup.' That's not consistency, that's moving the goalposts.
I have huge respect for Messi as one of football's greatest ever players after Cristiano Ronaldo but some of his fans have a habit of changing the criteria whenever it suits their argument."
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
@BenKolina Yea true they never do! Like the coliseum… wait they’ll never play there again 🤣 idk what’s the need to hate on another city bc Oakland got stripped of their teams😭 go ahead n be bitter ✌🏽
🚨 Pep Guardiola: “Real Madrid have not been my biggest challenge. My biggest challenge has been Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool”.
“Maybe you’re in Spain [journalists] and you didn’t notice… You have no idea how it was like to face Liverpool in those games, a great learning experience”.
