"Bayern is the best team in the world, they are better than us"

Real Madrid player Toni Kroos gave an interview to 'Marca' in which he assessed the state of the current season at the club. The German was confident in his team's ability with Zidane at the helm. 

"It is true that we are missing something. It is not a secret. Everyone can see it. We are missing more than just a bit, we are missing consistency. If you see the results, it's two good, one bad, two good, one bad. We have to do better. You see some matches and you realise that you can do better", admitted the German.

And he added about this lack of regularity of the team: "Clearly we can improve, but we lack consistency. If we did well against Barcelona, we must also play like this against Cadiz or Shakhtar at home. There is a lot of difference. Sometimes very well and sometimes very badly. We have to improve if we want to win something". 

In addition, Kroos referred to the tight schedule: "We are experiencing a very strange situation for everyone. We play every three days, we have few holidays, we finished last season very late, we could not sign players in summer. Now there are injured, some have to stop due to COVID-19, but I do not like to look for excuses. In every game we have a starting team that can beat the rival. I have no doubt about that".

"We have to look for solutions to improve. It's not something general, it's things or situations specific to each game and that's why we have to react. The truth is that as a team, if we want to win things, we have to improve. And we've already seen how we can do that," added the 30-year-old midfielder.

When talking about Zidane, Kroos showed his confidence in the French coach: "He knows that in Real Madrid if you don't get results and you don't meet the expectations, there are discussions. That's why we're at this club. It is normal. With Zidane we have already lived through times like this and normally we come out of bad patches. We live like this and the coach is the first to know what happens in this club if you don't get results. In the end, what we have left is to improve and try to win games. The coach will find the solution".

"Bayern is better than Real Madrid"
Finally, Kroos was questioned about the great moment Bayern Munich are experiencing, to which he responded: "For me, Bayern is the best team in the world. I have no doubt about that. Real Madrid lived through a few years like this and we know it's difficult. It's impossible to win everything ten years in a row. Real Madrid were the best team in the world for two or three years. Now it's Bayern and that doesn't say anything bad about us.

"If you see how they play in the last few months... there is no game that they don't win by four goals. They won the Champions League and for me the one who wins it is the best team in the world because it is the most difficult competition to win. It is true that they are better than us, but for the moment it is not a problem because we do not play in their league and we do not face each other in the Champions, at least for the time being," Kroos said.
