The Madrid midfielder enjoyed the way Joachim Low's side played against the World Cup winners, which capped off the national team's worst ever year
Toni Kroos maintains that Germany's defeat to France in the UEFA Nations League was one of the "most fun" defeats of his career.
Joachim Low's side again slipped to a disappointing loss, with their form following their shock group stage elimination at the World Cup continuing to nosedive.
Their 2-1 loss to France, during which Kroos scored a penalty to put Germany ahead, followed a 3-0 thumping at the hands of the Netherlands.
But the Real Madrid midfielder insists that he is not disheartened by the latest defeat, as he believes Germany played well at Stade de France."Of course, I like to have some options - and it was like this," he told reporters.
"On the pitch, it was one of the defeats that was the most fun because the ball was moving well in our team. "After some days when we were bashed a lot we managed to get up again and to show the performance we had hoped for.
"Of course, I am disappointed. Especially when you dictate the game, when a lot of things are working as planned. Right now, there are no presents for us."
Indeed, Kroos believes that the team's performance levels have risen since the World Cup in Russia, where Germany endured humiliating losses to Mexico and South Korea.
"It's a tough phase for most of us because we are used to winning, just as I am. We need to keep on working," he added.
"The players that have come into the team did well. We played better football than at the World Cup."
Germany return to action in November, when they will face Russia in a friendly and the Netherlands in the Nations League.

Germany needs a Striker. so many Chances and so less goals. In the last eleven games only 9 goals. they dominated every game Easyly but you can't win without goals. we have a good young man fiete arp, but he is only eighteen years old and I need two or three years for playing on the highest level.

Really they played good game. Even at d world cup. But the fact is, d amount of chances they miss in a game is not Impressive That is where they have problem. I don't think ozil leaving is too much a big deal. They've gat kross, sanè and d rest to make a win.

I have watch yesterday match German vs France In my opinion about this ...most of time time Germany have ball ...so they also attack to opponent post but they have lack of finishing ball to net (goal) this is because of ozil.ozil should must come back

Kroos should keep his mouth shut. He is oiling to avoid criticism. He wanted to become main man by thrashing Ozil. But everything became clear. Germany without Ozil is far worse. Kroos isnt even sparing Ballack to secure his place and to stay in good terms with disappointing Low
He looks like too loud .

Won't really be much fun when you hear that you are on brink of relegation in nations B, its a record 6th defeat in a year, Germany haven't gained momentum and that your situation is similar with real Madrid

Toni Kroos stood against Ozil. He claimed Ozil liked and there were no descrimination. But we knew what German fans and FA did with him. They Even Chanted in the match against Korea "Turkish Betrayer" something like that after the loss. It's clear now. Germany lacks playmaker like Ozil. No Ozil , No winning!!! Get him back again.
