Kroos has returned to the national team squad after missing Germany's matches against Argentina and Estonia in October due to injury, and Bierhoff is happy to see the 29-year-old back.
"He gives the team stability, rhythm and direction in midfield. Of course, he has to embrace the competition, but he has a special position and is a role model in the team," Bierhoff said at a press conference today, as quoted by the German Football Association.
The Real Madrid midfielder has made 94 appearances for Germany, scoring 15 goals.
