Ex-Real Madrid star Stielike hails Kroos form

Former Real Madrid star Uli Stielike is happy seeing Toni Kroos playing for his former club.

Stielike is now in charge of South Korea.

On Kroos, he told AS: " I see him more as the classic number 8 - he's not a number 10 or a No.6. He's never been like Xabi Alonso.

"He's got qualities… Maybe he got used to playing in that role when he was at Bayern. But it was the ideal moment for him to move on."
