Real Madrid star Toni Kroos: "I'm happy with the team's levels and my own"

Real sit atop of La Liga and their Champions League group and Kroos is happy with where the squad is at.

The German midfielder assessed the team's current form, sitting atop La Liga and Champions League Group C: "The team is in pretty good shape. We've won 10 of the 11 games we've played, with only one loss. That means we're doing a good job. It's the start of the season and it's normal to have things we can improve on but we're leading LaLiga and our Champions League Group.

"I'm happy with the team's levels and my own, I hope we can keep it up. It's important we do everything as a team because that's the only way to win things. We have the mentality of what we've been doing for a number of years, which is keeping that belief until the end. We have won several games or picked up a lot of points in the last five or ten minutes. It's important to believe until the last minute and have the ability to change games or score goals. We know the toughest spells are still to come.

His great form

"I try to prepare myself as well as I possibly can so I am able to play like I'm showing. I've been here for a long time and it's important to look after my body on a daily basis. The rest will come, because you don't lose the quality on the ball quite so quickly. I'm feeling good and I'm getting a bit more rest than usual as well."
