Casemiro, Modric and Kroos are, without a doubt, one of the best tridents in midfield that the world of football has seen. Together they have lifted 5 Champions Leagues, their role in lifting the last Orejona against Liverpool in Saint-Denis has been fundamental, like that pass from the Croatian with the outside to Rodrygo in the 80th minute in the second leg of the quarterfinals that served to take the whites to extra time, but it seems that this association, the so-called ‘CMK’ could spend their last years together this season, despite the fact that Luka Modric has just renewed with Real Madrid.
It is inevitable that there will be a transition in midfield that, if we think about it, was already started last season by Carlo Ancelotti, although, this year it is very likely that it will be seen more frequently in the Italian’s elevens. Last year, Camavinga and Valverde, especially the Uruguayan, were fundamental pieces at certain times of the season, to such an extent that ‘El Pajarito’ started in the Champions League final. For his part, the Frenchman was almost always one of the first changes made by the coach and the main person in charge of replacing Casemiro on the field when necessary (a role that Tchouaméni will play this year).
But for Camavinga, Valverde and Tchouaméni have more opportunities, someone has to leave, and One of the main candidates for this year to lose more prominence in Ancelotti’s eleven is Toni Kroos. You could already see last year, especially in the final stretch of the season, he was almost always the Italian’s first choice to replace someone in midfield, and he was even substituted at important moments and games, such as in the quarter-finals against Chelsea or the semi-finals against Manchester City.
Toni Kroos has given everything for Real Madrid and no one could deny it, but the physical downturn he had at the end of the season, the great form of Luka Modricfor which the years do not seem to pass, and the great irruption of Fede Valverde, makes it inevitable that there is a transition in the center of the field and that, in all probability, the ‘CMK’, which we will continue to see a lot this year, becomes the ‘CMV’ more frequently or even the ‘CCV’, depending on the Croatian’s performance this year, who will already be 38 giving way to a formed midfield by Casemiro, Camavinga and Valverde.
You have to remember that Toni Kroos ends contract in June 2023 and that, when asked about his renewal, he himself publicly assured that he has preferred not to sign anything with the club while waiting to see what his performance will be this season.
