Italy strongest opponent says Kroos

(ANSA) - Evians-Les-Bains, June 30 - Italy is the strongest opponent Germany could have expected to meet at Euro 2016, midfield general Toni Kroos said Thursday ahead of Saturday's quarter-final in Bordeaux. "Italy is without doubt the strongest opponent we could have come across in our path at the Euros," the Real Madrid star told a press conference. "But I can't wait to face them. Germany is in good form and will play a smart game".
