The Bayern Munich boss claims that the midfielder can reach the level of German legends Wolfgang Overath and Gunter Netzer.
Jupp Heynckes claimed that Toni Kroos has immense potential and the German international has made some great progress this season. He admitted that the midfielder has developed into a fine player already and has impressed many
with his performances this season.
Toni Kroos has been a first-team regular under the new manager and has already featured 24 times for Bayern Munich this season, scoring two goals. The midfielder was drafted into the first-team when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 faced a long-term
injury and has taken his chances to become a regular part of the side.
The former Bayer Leverkusen manager admitted that the player can surpass German legends Wolfgang Overath and Gunter Netzer with the way he is progressing and can become a vital part of the Bavarian midfield in the future. The manager
added that Kroos’ displays would surely earn him a place in the national side for next year’s European Championships.
Heynckes admitted that he has faced a selection headache in the past few weeks after Robben returned from injury. Thomas Muller played in the attacking midfield role when Robben was fit and had to shift to the wings after the Dutchman’s
injury.
“I have seen his unlimited potential. At the moment, I see http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 as further developed than Wolfgang Overath and Gunter Netzer at the same age,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician is hopeful that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374 returns from injury in January. The boss admitted that initially he was scheduled to take part in the last two matches this year but the German international has not reached
full fitness yet.
“I would have liked to have him available [in the last two matches of 2011]. Bastian is very disappointed about this, too,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich will be aiming to extend their lead to six points at the top with a win against FC Koln on Friday at the Allianz Arena. They will be in search of their 12th win of the current season in the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund and Schalke who are placed second and third respectively will play their matches later on Saturday.
