Ozil was once considered the best number 10 in the world. He has won countless honors in his career, especially the 2014 World Cup with Germany. In the colors of Real Madrid or Arsenal, Ozil is admired by many for his ability to create genius.
Ozil wanted to go to Barca.
The former Germany international said: “My style is always to try to give the pass and make the ball that no one would expect. I think that is the origin of the nickname ‘magician’. And this means that the fans were delighted to see me play. I’ve scored, I’ve had a lot of assists.”
Ozil added on choosing Real Madrid over Barcelona: “It’s not a matter of money. I don’t know if this is known, but I visited Madrid with Barcelona at that time and it was different. especially Jose Mourinho Mourinho gave me a VIP trip to Real Madrid He took me to see the stadium and all the trophies they won It gave me goosebumps.
The trip to Barcelona was less exciting and what was more disappointing was Pep Guardiola didn’t even see me. Before that trip, I really liked Barcelona’s style of football and I could have imagined playing with them, but Madrid gave it their all. So Jose Mourinho was definitely the most important factor in my decision. After my visits, my decision was clear: I wanted to be a Madridista.”
