Toni Kroos Denounces RTL’s Kimmich Interview as Disrespectful as Kimmich Suffers Training Injury

His podcast critique refocuses attention on interview standards during a congested schedule.

Overview

  • On his podcast, Kroos dissected the post‑match RTL interview with Joshua Kimmich after Bayern’s 2–2 at Union Berlin, calling the questions “empathielos” and “respektlos.”
  • He criticized queries about whether the late point was “lucky,” how Kimmich perceived a razor‑thin offside on the pitch, and a suggestion that the national‑team window offered time to “breathe.”
  • Kroos argued that international duty is not a rest period, citing heavy club workloads and the pressure surrounding national‑team results.
  • An Instagram clip of the podcast drew mostly supportive comments, though some users faulted Kroos for excessive harshness.
  • SPORT1 reported that Kimmich was injured in training and will miss Germany’s upcoming match against Luxembourg.
