RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Southgate has England's answer to Toni Kroos

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Southgate needs one who has a grandmaster's eye for subtle manipulations and can wait, calmly, diligently, until just enough pieces have moved before sending the killer ball.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Querpass Toni. That is what some over the years have taken to calling Toni Kroos and it translates roughly into Sidepass Toni. To Julian Nagelsmann, it might as well be gibberish.
