FILE - In this Sunday, Feb. 16, 2020 file photo, Real Madrid's Toni Kroos looks on during their Spanish La Liga soccer match against Celta de Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, Spain. Kroos has criticized soccer authorities UEFA and FIFA for a crowded schedule, suggesting they overlook players’ interests in favor of their own. “At the end of the day, we players are just the puppets of FIFA and UEFA with all these additional (competitions) that are invented. Nobody is asked,” Kroos said Wednesday, Nov. 11 in a podcast called “Einfach mal Luppen” that he regularly hosts with his brother Felix Kroos, who plays for German second-division team Eintracht Braunschweig.
