Vidal says a Brazilian helped 'teach' Kroos how to pass 😅 | OneFootball

Arturo Vidal and Renato Augusto taught Toni Kroos how to be good at passing.

Well, at least that’s what the midfielder, currently at Colo-Colo, said about his former teammate!

In a lighthearted interview, the Chilean said that the German, a Real Madrid legend, “learned a lot” from him and Renato Augusto during their time together at Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Vidal, Kroos “was technically good, but lacked the touch,” and that the two South Americans helped him better understand the game, in which Kroos became one of the masters of passing and long balls.

The now-retired player’s response was short and funny: just three laughing emojis, but people on social media had a field day with Vidal!

Kroos retired in 2024 as one of the greatest passers in world football, a multi-champion with Real Madrid and a World Cup winner with Germany in 2014 – hello, 7 x 1.

So, can you imagine “Reinato Augusto” and Vidal giving lessons to the German legend?
