Us in Germany, and the whole world knows we have a good squad and not just one good player. I'd say our best player is the team."Strength in depth was not enough to secure Euro 2016 glory, but Germany are firmly back on track during 2018 World Cup qualifying. They are yet to drop a point or concede a goal through their opening four fixtures, with Kroos’ efforts for club and country seeing him voted the best German player of the year in the Goal 25. When presented with his award, he said: "I am very happy about it. There are many German players abroad at the moment and when you get an award despite this competition, that is great.” Kroos is currently away in Japan with Real at the Club World Cup, and provided the assist for Karim Benzema’s opening goal in a 2-0 victory over Club America on Thursday that booked Zinedine Zidane’s side a place in the final.</blockquote>
