Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has claimed that he isn’t a big fan of footballers who take part in “nonsense” celebrations after scoring goals. The German star specifically called out at Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann. Kroos explained that he prefers when footballers celebrate their goals similar to his childhood hero and Germany icon, Gerd Muller, who was always pumped up and full of “pure joy” after scoringWhile speaking to BILD ahead of Germany’s friendly clash against the Czech Republic on Wednesday night, Toni Kroos took a potshot at those players who seek to thrill with their over-the-top goal celebrations. The 30-year-old said, “I find these goal celebrations very silly, to be honest. Especially if players have some items in their socks or shoes.” Kroos then referred to the times Gabon forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrated his goals with masks of different superheroes while playing for Saint-Etienne, Dortmund and Arsenal. “Aubameyang celebrated his goals by wearing masks sometimes. I have to draw the line at that. I don’t even think that behaving that way after scoring a goal is a good role model for youngsters, its complete nonsense.”
