Former Germany midfielder Toni Kroos has called on the national team to improve defensively ahead of its Round of 32 clash against Paraguay at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Kroos warned that defensive mistakes could prove costly in the knockout stage, where every error is likely to be punished by opponents.
He noted that while Germany possesses enough attacking quality to win matches, defensive discipline would be crucial if the team hopes to challenge for the World Cup title.
