“Ozil is a quality player and he really enjoys playing football. I always tell him to enjoy it and not get too worried about scoring.

"If he enjoys it he can score goals like the one he managed to score against Ludogorets, dribbling past two defenders and the goalkeeper. That is the kind of goal every player dreams about.

"I feel very comfortable playing alongside him,” added Alexis. "He has great vision and there's no need to praise his great first touch because everyone knows about it.

“He is a quality player and he is willing to win all the time. He wants to prove his quality in every game and every training session. That makes him special. He is a World Cup winner with a winning mentality, and he is still eager to win more.”
