Professional soccer player Toni Kroos and his brother Felix have called for voting in September, showing their attitude and not giving away a vote.

“I believe that choosing is more important than ever.

You don't have to explain that a lot is going in the wrong direction, ”said Toni Kroos in the latest episode of the joint podcast“ Einfach mal Luppen ”published on Wednesday.

He himself did not always take part in elections, admitted the former DFB national player, but in retrospect this was "a mistake".

It is not always easy to make a decision, “because in my opinion not a single party has emerged where you could say: Wow, things are going like clockwork here.

That's not the case, "said the 31-year-old five weeks before the general election on September 26th.

"Decision based on conviction"

"If you are not one hundred percent convinced of your cross, it is also a cross against another party such as the AfD," said the 2014 world champion and Real Madrid professional.

For a peaceful and cosmopolitan Germany it is "very, very important to vote".

Brother Felix, who surprisingly ended his professional career a month ago, has not yet made up his mind. “I don't know yet who I'll be voting for in September. Of course, I also know if I won't vote, ”said the 30-year-old. He will "deal with it even more intensively in the next few weeks and throw the Wahl-O-Maten on," said Felix Kroos. "I will certainly make a decision out of conviction."
