Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is "not a good role model" due to "nonsense" goal celebrations, according to Toni Kroos.
The Real Madrid midfielder, not known for his goalscoring prowess but considered among the greatest midfielders of his generation, is not a fan of over-the-top celebrations.
Kroos, who has won almost everything there is to win at both domestic and international level, would rather players show "real joy, nothing big" than extravagance.
Aubameyang was name-checked during Kroos’s complaints, while Antoine Griezmann and his ‘Fortnight’ celebrations - Tottenham’s Dele Alli a noted fan - were also a target of the Madrid star’s ire.
"I find it very silly," he told his Einfach mal Luppen podcast, which he records with brother Felix.
"Even worse is if there are any objects hidden in their socks. Aubameyang once celebrated and took out a mask. That's where it ends with me.
"I don't think that's a good role model, either. What nonsense."
