Mesut Özil Best Quotes

I am the sort of player that likes to create goals. I think a lot of my team-mates know me as a player who is not selfish.

It makes me very happy when I create goals or score goals myself, but the most important thing is that the team reaches its target and plays positive football.

I am happy to be playing in the Premier League because everyone knows it is the strongest league in the world. There are simply a lot of top teams.

I have played for Real Madrid, which is such a big club and where the pressure is so immense because you have to go and win absolutely every game. There is no game where people don’t expect you to succeed. So, having played there for three years, the pressure is nothing that would scare me.

I love playing football. So I go out to play football, and I don’t feel the pressure. Of course, there are some days when things just don’t work out as well as they do on other days, but that doesn’t have anything to do with pressure.

I’m a person who prefers to play games rather than train.

The Premier League is the best in the world; it’s so intense. The smaller teams love to try their chances against the big ones, and this is why the game goes back and forth. That can be strenuous, tough on you and your body, but I love it.

Of course, the best thing, if you play in the Premier League, you can always develop further as a player, and you are playing against the best players. You are also playing game after game all the time, two or three games a week.

I knew before I came to Arsenal what kind of players were here. And of course, in training, you can see how many good players are here; the most important thing is that we work well as a team – that’s the most important thing.

For us, it wasn’t essential to have a big house, a few cars, always have the newest clothes. Solidarity as a family was important. We were there for each other and always will be.

When I look into the future and where I’d like to live, I’ll say Germany because I grew up there and like the discipline the people have. But my background is from Zonguldak in Turkey. I’m there a lot.

I’m a role model as a footballer and not as a politician. I want to see myself as a footballer. People respect me for my performances. That’s why they support me, and I’m very thankful for that. But I’m not a politician.

What the manager says is what’s important to me. What experts say doesn’t interest me and never will. I know what I can do. I’ve not been playing at the top level for nothing. I’ve been successful.

People wrote so negatively about me, but generally, the people who are familiar with football know my strengths and abilities.

I was voted three times Germany’s national player of the year, and that is decided by the fans. That shows the fans are there for me and believe in me.

I’m one of the best players in the world in that No.10 position. Fans, coaches, players, and everyone knows that my best post is a playmaker.

As players, you can’t decide who manages the club.

Everyone has a right to say what they want, but what they have to say doesn’t interest me.
