"Real" Madrid defender Toni Kroos is optimistic for the upcoming season. The German believes that critics are wrong in doubting the new club's head coach, Rafa Benitez. "I think we have good chances to win various trophies with him. I hope that these years will be good for us. Rafael talks to each player and wants to create a strong team. Of course, it will not be easy to achieve the goals set, especially in the UEFA Champions League, as there are always at least 4-5 contenders for the title of the strongest team," said the German. Kroos will start his second season in the Spanish capital. The 25-year-old player's contract with the royal club is valid until the end of the 2019/2020 season.
