I will never understand why is it hard to accept that Kroos isn't a good defender. He has never been and that's completely okay.

There are aspects of games that probably nobody in world football does as good as Kroos but defending isn't one of them. https://twitter.com/BlancoTalks/status/1264082880084480000
Is he good in pressing? hell yes but that's just one aspect of defending. Real Madrid this season have a more organized press under Zidane. Casemiro, Modric & Fede all attempt 19 or more pressure

If you take a look at pressure numbers only Kroos' numbers have actually reduced.
Accepting a player isn't good in certain departments isn't something shameful much like being a system player isn't necessarily a bad thing. Every player has their weakness it's not rocket science.

This obsession to have your fav player be best at everything is just weird to me.
In this thread I looked at exactly what has changed for him since last season. His upturn in form has coincided with Casemiro's best season in a Madrid jersey. Doesn't take away anything from him but gives context. https://twitter.com/Odriozolite/status/1259432259456692224?s=20
