Fede Valverde writes a heartfelt farewell letter to Toni Kroos with a tribute video: “…I’ve been thinking about this letter all day and I don’t think I ever told you, and I don’t know if I could do it personally, but I want you to know; I love you and a part of who I am is thanks to you.”

   > I guess when we were kids we all had an idol. The one we admired, the one we saw on TV and thought ‘I want to be like that person when I grow up’.

   > And if we were children with a lot of imagination, we could dream that we were playing ball with that idol, who was far away, untouchable, difficult to reach.

   > That kid was me. That boy fulfilled his dream and played with the player he always idolized.

   > Today with a strange feeling and a lump in the throat, I know that child would have loved to play with you ten more years, and me too, Toni. Because I never stopped being that kid who always looked up to you.

   > **I’ve been thinking about this letter all day and I don’t think I ever told you, and I don’t know if I could do it personally, but I want you to know; I love you and a part of who I am is thanks to you.**
