Toni Kroos stayed indoors on Easter Monday, but there was no rest for the 22-year-old, as he worked out in the Säbener Strasse performance centre before joining his team-mates for lunch. Kroos was recharging his batteries and building up strength ready for Wednesday\'s showdown in Dortmund. fcbayern.de spoke to the Germany international about the big match and the season from his point of view. fcbayern.de: Happy Easter Toni! After Saturday\'s Augsburg match, Thomas Müller said some of the players had no idea it was Easter due to the packed schedule. Are you one of them? Toni Kroos: No, it hasn\'t come to that yet! Obviously, we\'re on the road a lot and we have plenty to do, but it\'s part of the job. In any case, Easter isn\'t that special for me. I\'ve never made a big deal of it. You narrowly beat Augsburg at the weekend, and the Bundesliga meetings with Hannover and Nürnberg were tight as well. How tough is it having a game every three days? Very tough. Sometimes you feel good during matches, but sometimes you do notice the weariness a little more. We\'ve had to invest a lot in some of our matches. So it\'s only logical that after a midweek Champions League or DFB Cup tie the only thing that matters in the league is winning. The way we do it isn\'t as important. After all, most of our opponents have a full week to prepare for us. You started on the bench against Augsburg, as the coach chose to rest you on this occasion. It did me the world of good, because I\'ve almost always played the full 90 minutes up to now. However, I came on relatively early because it was a tight match. After our early goal I was hoping it would be much more clear-cut, as I would have had a longer rest. You went into the match with four yellow cards to your name, so you\'d have been suspended for the Dortmund trip if you had picked up another booking. Was that one of the reasons Jupp Heynckes started you on the bench? Yes, that was the second main reason, because that would have been irritating to say the least. It was in the back of my mind when I came on, but fortunately there were no situations where I had to put in a borderline challenge. It means you\'re clear to play on Wednesday. How much are you looking forward to it? A huge amount. There’s a lot of media hype about this game, but that\'s completely normal. It\'ll be very tense. We’re totally focused on Dortmund, and we know we absolutely can\'t afford to lose. You sense that everyone in the team knows the importance of this match. Is there a nagging mental problem due to the fact you\'ve lost the last three matches against Dortmund? No! All that counts is that we\'re in superb shape, and we\'ve won a lot of matches in a row. We travel to Dortmund in good form. Obviously, we\'re wary and we know how good they are. But we\'re still just a little bit better in terms of footballing quality. The season is going very well for you personally and you\'ve been close to ever-present. Are you satisfied? My overall performance has improved dramatically this season. The coach has a lot of faith in me, and that gives me the confidence I need. It\'s going well, and if things are going well, you shouldn\'t stop them. At the age of 22, I\'ve not finished developing as a player. The total package which is Toni Kroos can still be better.
