Kroos move from a German to a Spanish superpower has seen him receive a stat boost which now has the 24-year-old as one of the games best players. According to the leaked ratings Kroos shooting has leapt from 83 to 89. This upgraded shooting statistic is most definitely consistent with Kroos real-life capabilities as the German is renowned as having one of the most venomous long shots on the planet, capable of scoring from just about anywhere. Real Madrid parted with a reported 25 million to bring the attacking midfielder over to Spain this is a great bit of business based on what weve seen Kroos do in recent times. After another impressive season with Bayern Munich, Kroos looked even better in the World Cup. He may not have won the much coveted Golden Ball for the best player of the tournament (despite being shortlisted) but the Castrol Index ranking had Kroos as being the best player in Brazil. In particular the midfielders laser-accurate passing proved extremely effective, earning him the nickname Garcon from the Brazilian fans for serving up so many delicious balls. The thought of Bale and Ronaldo being on the end of Toni Kroos deliveries is scary.
