The German soccer player is considered an artist to control the ball and make clean and filtered passes, but he recognized that he could never control a few shots of tequila. Toni Kroos has a love-hate relationship with the famous alcoholic drink because of the memories it left him.
Kroos told on the podcast Einfach mal Luppen, that he shares with his brother Felix, the moments when he decided to drink tequila. The first time was to get over the bitter taste of losing the UEFA Champions League final against Chelsea FC. He was still wearing the Bayern Munich shirt.
“After the Champions League final against Chelsea (2012) I remember drinking from frustration. We came close to needing an emergency doctor. There was no other way to alleviate the pain”, he stated.
Then he had a rematch in Brazil and left him fit definitive
During the World Cup 2014, that Germany raised the cup against Argentina, Kroos decided to taste tequila again and the memory did not improve from the previous one.
On the night of the celebration in Rio de Janeiro it failed again: “From that moment on I I proposed to have a tequila with everyone that night, but I failed miserably”.
Together to his brother Felix and the Bayer Leverkusen footballer Stefan Reinartz had his last drunkenness with tequila.
“I drank tequila shots because it was the only thing I I liked him. The next day I wasn’t feeling well and that was the point where I said that drinking alcohol doesn’t do any good. I couldn’t look at the tequila that night and gave it up completely. It didn’t hurt and I don’t miss it”, concluded Kroos.
