The midfielder said that things were difficult for him at the start of the season, but that he has made significant progress in recent weeks.

“I’m feeling good and happy to be able to say that. I struggled early in the season with the injury I had but right now I can say I’m playing well having played so many games recently,” he said.

Kroos also paid tribute to Carlo Ancelotti, his first coach at Real Madrid in 2015. Their paths have once again collided.

“He knows me really well from his first stage here and I also know him extremely well. He’s well aware of the player I am, what I can offer to the team and what I need to be comfortable and to be able to give all I can to the team. It’s a great relationship and few people know me better than he does,” explained the midfielder.

The new Santiago Bernabeu, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2022, was also brought up by the German midfielder..

“It’s already the best stadium in the world and it will continue to be so. You can see how it’s going to be when it’s finished in the images and it looks amazing. I can’t wait to play in it, I hope I can have a few years playing in the new stadium,” he said.

When asked to anticipate the next 2021-2022 season, Kroos stated that the club will strive for every trophy.

“This club always wants to win and I’ve seen that ever since I arrived here seven years ago. I want to have a good season, free of injuries going forward. If that happens, I feel good and I can see how the team is going, I’m relaxed because I know success will come. If we all enjoy ourselves together I have no doubt we’ve achieve good things. The Champions League is difficult to predict because anything can happen, but we’re well prepared and I want to enjoy my football,” he explained.

Kroos wrapped up his conversation by explaining why he’s had such a fantastic career at Real Madrid.

“What’s most important is that the player adapts to the club and not the club to the player. All the people at the club, like the president, coaches, the team and the fans have made it really easy for me here and I’ve felt very comfortable since day one. But at a club of this size, it’s not just about feeling comfortable, you also need to be successful. Fortunately, we’ve had plenty of successes through my help as well. It’s always been a really unique relationship from day one until today,” he said.

Meanwhile…

Real Madrid are monitoring the situation of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, the Spanish giants will make a decision on signing the free agent next summer, according to a report published today by MARCA.

Not only that, but Real Madrid will keep a close eye on Mino Raiola’s actions and conversations with other interested parties such as Juventus and PSG.

Luka Modric will be leaving Real Madrid soon. Even if the Croatian’s contract is extended for another year, he may have a smaller role, is 36, and will need to be replaced at some point. If Pogba doesn’t end up being that next player Real Madrid will rely on, the club may turn its focus to Aurélien Tchouaméni, a young talent who now plays for Monaco and the French national team.
