A look to Özil's career

Back in 2 September 2013, fans were joyfully celebrating and chanting 'we got Mesut Özil'  when Özil went out from the tunnel for his debut match against Swansea, everything was so convincing and Özil even provided an assist for his new team-mate Olivier Giroud during his debut. Things were initially look so bright when Özil bagged an hattrick assist in a match against Stoke city. Sadly, a sudden turn of event changed everything, things were not actually went well for Özil following his break up with his girlfriend and other personal problems, he was then performed badly throughout the 2013/14 campaign.

Questions arose around Emrirates as to whether Wenger spent the wrong amount on the wrong person, a 42.5 million man suddenly look like a 10 million amateur signing, Özil tried to proved his doubters wrong but he also knows that its easier to say than do. Ever an opportunist, he'd seen an on coming clash with Bayern Munich  as a vital stage to lauch a come back. As it happened, the match has actually went in Özil's way, Özil proves what he's worth of by pulling of a series of beautiful skills and creative run up untill a Bayern player accidentally pushed him down on the penalty spot, its a penalty! Arsenal skipper Mikel Arteta approached Özil, asking him to take the penalty for him, perhaps in an attempted to make Özil find back his confidence. As though things will never went well for Özil, he stepped up to the spot, rendering himself plenty of time to comtemplate how to beat the world's best goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. When the whistle blew, Özil ran towards the ball then stop for a while in an attempt to fool the german shot-stopper, then put the ball to the middle of the goal, Nueur anticipated and saved it easily! Now fans could see Özil pulls off a rare angry face and shouted 'F***' infront of the goalie. Things suudenly went black for Özil. with Arsenal eventually fall to a
2-0 defeat at the Emirates.

As all Arsenal fans knew it, Özil has finally found his top form at the moment in the on-going 2015/16 by dethroning Eric Cantona as best playmaker in the premier league history and proved his doubters wrong, Wenger can finally breath.

However, lets take a look at how Özil fight all the way to be here as Europe's best playmaker. 

Özil as a teenager

It all started with a beautiful dream Özil had had when he was a child, he started his professional career when he was signed by Schalke 04 in a free transfer, and this where he met with his fellow good friends. He impressed everyone at the club by playing brilliantly as an attacking midfielder, he did not score any goal during his carrer at the club. Fortunately, his career is just getting started, there is a bright future infront of him. In which, according to his manager, he is 'the next big thing' in the coming days.

After making his mark at schalke 04, there are several german clubs started to enquire about this so called 'wizard', he could have, though, joined other club, but he preferred to joined Werder Bremen as they offered higher reported fees of 5 million. At this very club, this very time, this is where and when  Özil being made known by eveyone in the world. Despite his team were not good enough and only managed a 10th place finish in 2008/09, his overall contribution to the team was remarkable though. By scoring 9 goals and providing 17 assists in his second season with Werder Bremen,  he has helped his team to a third place finish in 2010/11 season and earned himself the title of 'best player in the first half season'. Unfortunately for Werder Bremen, as this was his last season serving for the club, world cup 2010 is approaching.

 Özil was impressive in Werder Bremen

In Word Cup 2010,  Özil was given a chance in the first-team sheet for the first time in his career. In a germany squad displaying household names like Per Mertesacker(Dortmunt), Toni Kross(Bayern), and germany all-time highest goalscorer(Klose), Özil knows deep down in his mind that he must give it his best to stand out amongst them. In which, he did as he was later named as the 'best player of the tournament' after the end of the tournament.

During the campaign, Özil outstood any other players in the tournament as he pulls off bunch of tricks and skills that others find it hard to replicate and track, let it be his passing ability or his first touch, these were all of world-class. His ability to create chances benefit everyone around him as this was where the partnership of Özil-Podolski duo was built, what they don't know was that both of them will later be reunite at the hearth of London Arsenal. 

Özil scored a brilliant long shot

Back to the tournament, the mood around Germany squad was high when they succesfully qualified for the semi-final clash with Spain. In a Spain squad contains of big name players like Iker Casillas, Puyol, David Villa, and well-rounded playmaker Andres Iniesta, qualifying for the the final seems to be a difficult task, but one should not never forget that Germany was also team full of equal standard players to compete with Spain. Sadly, a Puyol's header was a stab to the hearth of Germany as this one goal difference in the 72 minute was the only goal in the match that saw Spain was the one to go to the final.  

Despite germany exit of the tournament, this was all positive for Özil as Spanish Giant Real Madrid threw in 10 million to snatch Özil to La Liga. This was the team one could only dream of joining where Özil could relish the chance to play with Godly-rated forwards of Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, and Angel Di Maria.

However, all of his time in Real Madrid only serve to enhance his skills and ability to absorp more pressure by playing big matches in both Europe and Spain. Playing against teams like Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and chances to play against team in Europe like PSG have actually improve Özil a lot as fans could clearly see in Özil, this was the typical-Özil fans could only ask for as no other players in the world could replicate the style of Özil. During his time in Madrid, Özil built up a very good partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo as he has always been the one to make key passes for Ronaldo to do the finishes, Ronaldo must be missing him after his departure to Arsenal. 

Özil has a very good relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo

It's really lovely to see how Özil play around the ball and creating chances where you don't see it on players like Neymar, Eden Hazard, and Messi. Don't ever say he's is the German-Messi or other nickname related him to another player as Özil is unique, he is a 'full team player as he doesn't need goal to boost his ego'. What more could you ask for?  If one get a chance to play with Özil, they should be grateful because Özil is not selfish and he only shots on target when the circumstance requires him to do so.

Özil is specially-unique, no players can replace him
