Mesut Özil Was Talented But Stubborn | Michael Ballack 

Why is Jason Bourne talking about Özil?

I thought Matt Damon was talking about Mesut Ozil

What a legend Ballack. he definitely knows Ozil very well.

okay, now I want a biopic of ballack with Damon on the lead.

Bro at the moment I thought this guy was Matt Damon 😅😂

Mesut Ozil was gem💎

Ppl forget about Ballack, easily the best and most complete German player since Matthaus … international success eluded him as he was caught between two great eras … dynamic, strong, aerial ability, had it all

I've been following Ozil since day 1 in Madrid. Arsenal Ozil was great but at least a level down than his first two years in Spain. He was a mixture of speed and explosiveness of a winger (as he was in Schalke and Bremen) and the technical genius you saw in England. Truly spectacular.

Arsenal's Ozil is sublime. Among all the greatest! All Ballack is saying is that Ozil stands up for himself. That is gold today.

"to handle" everybody wants to "control" and some people can't accept that !! Born free

He stood for his beliefs that's not stubborn that's having morals

He played his best football at Werder Bremen and Real Madrid

Mesut ozil one of the best world class ever

I love him the way he is period. He is still adored and missed to date.

I really wanted him at United back in the day. It was amazing to watch him play.

I think he described ozil perfectly. Very talented and not easy to handle

If Ozil was not a Turkish descendant, he would be worshipped in Germany. Never seen a German player more skilled than him.

Didn't know Ballacks English was this good

A legend at Arsenal!!! Ya Gunnerside Ya!

Football doesn't feel the same without Özil playing. I miss him so much.💔

Ozil wasn't stubborn. He wasnt a sell out or marketed robot. He just had a voice, a rebel hero against all odds outside of football and within the Gods of football.

Ozil's first few years at arsenal was sublime. It started to go downhill for him when wenger and sanchez left

I never saw a player to control the ball like ozil did. Spectacular player.

Ballack was an amazing player the perfect midfielder had great feet strong balance and most importantly a brain that could see things others just couldn’t loved him and Chelsea miss a player like him .

Ballack sounds like Rainier Wolfcastle junior.

Michael Ballack kinda looks like Matt Damon 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ozil is a player tailor made for Arsenal ! Like Bergkamp, Henry, Pires…etc he symbolized that beautiful Wenger ball, that gunner offensive nonchalant approach that involves the whole team and sometimes sacrifices results sometimes (most of the time during the 2010 but whatever) and yes they try to « walk it in » because they know when it works it draws every football fan eyes to Highbury/Emirates ! Pro football is first of all an entertainment product, and not much players and teams were better, if any, than Ozil and Arsenal !

Standing up for yourself is a problem these days!

Love Michael balack no.13

And that's called a man, Mr. Ballack 😎 MÖ10 is surely the best assist King in the history of football ⚽👑❤️ Undoubtedly the best friend of any world class goal scorers like CR7 🤝🏼👊🏼🙌🏼

Ballack such a legend, one of the best mids of his era

Is that Matt Damon playing Hugo Stiglitz?

Coming from Ballack, one of the argumentative playera😊 ever

As a united i loved Ozil as player and a human. Great guy with insane ability on the ball almost Zidane like.

I'm a Gooner. Ozil was an absolute baller. If you know football, then you know this.

One of the best goals ever. A masterpiece. We will never forget the man in yellow shorts humiliating the goalkeeper and their defenders

That's Mesut. Game recognize Game

Ozil is amazing i miss him

michael ballack look like mat damon

Not only Jason Bourne, there is a slight resemblance to modern Jack Reacher also

He was thrown under the bus over t.v rights in china for standing up for a persecuted people. He's a good person

I love watching Arsenal...lose! But they've always had iconic players

“To handle”?? If I see us on equal grounds and you can’t “handle” that then it’s your problem. Respect to Ozil for standing up for himself.

Michael Ballack!! Onye bolù❤

Real arsenal fans love him class player

Wow, Matt Damon has ball knowledge?!!

Can't you accept that certain players can't defend and press cause it takes away from their attacking prowess

Everyone is loved him

I remember he is often scapegoated by arsenal fans when they lose or draw.

A world class player done dirty by Arsenal for speaking up on what was right

Dude was very underrated

Exactly...those who couldn't HANDLE him blame him for everything bad.

The assist king 🤴

I don’t understand the debate….. he did well at 3 giant clubs Real,Germany and Arsenal… and I don’t like any of them…. But I still think he was a great player.

Legendary! Arsenal became his home! He never felt more at home anywhere like he did at Arsenal. Someone high ranking must find a way to bring him back home to reconcile with the current team and leadership so that he can be embraced by his true family. Same with Aubameyang. It was absolutely right what Arteta did letting them go. That old mentality of being casual and not caring about a serious winning mentality was completely killed by Arteta and there was no room for them; Arteta put the team ahead of everything and everyone and for the first time, we suddenly started behaving like winners in everything! There’s no hate for these guys. They must be humble and understanding to return to their home and the fans will see how they accept the club once again, and they’ll forever be grateful for coming back.

You mean he had the courage to speak out against crimes against humanity while you didn’t? Cool

When Bourne talk, everyone listen.

Everyone loves Mesut at Arsenal...

if you play like this - you have a different view on things, you see more than others and maybe also in other aspects of life too - and this can make you a more sensitive person. The best coaches are able to handle player like özil.

I don't even wa t to talk about my favorite German player Michael Ballack o my God what a midfielder

He is the best playr ⚽️ ilove özil

Not because he's stubborn because he's a Muslim who stood up for his people and his religion the entire world knows this I'm a Liverpool fan but I adore Ozil a legend

People who lack Integrity consider people with strong character difficult

Ozil stand up for things that no one in football dare even to mention

Ballack! 2002 one of the last leaders of the last West German National team.

Never forget ozil best of the best form when play in world cup 2014

The prince that never became King

Boy gave them his footballing talents. What he refused to give: His conscience!

Matt Damon nailed the German accent.

He’s like a better version of Bruno Fernandes whereas Ozil got hammered by the press Bruno shows passion while he goes in on the ref.

Most underrated king 👑

Best Nr 10 in the modern days

How can you not love Mesut Ozil? I'm a United fan but I wished we had him. Can't force your views on a grown man. Keep it strictly football if you don't want the other side

As a Spurs fan I loved the guy which should tell you everything

Balllack: "........not easy to handle" host : "in other word, being a german."

Ozil is Guti but having the recognition in Galacticos

Exceptional player !

Ballack supposed to looks like Damon? Those Muricans are lost 😂😂

I loved ozil but yeah he was hard headed

Arsene Wenger said that he is an easy player to work with. The only thing he does not do is track back all the time. But Messi does not track back.

Ballack is looking like Matt Damon isn't it😄

I'm quite sure he never wanted to leave Madrid and was never quite as motivated after winning the World Cup. People forget Arsenal were in disarray at that time and perhaps under Arteta he'd have consistently been at his best. I heard CR7 protested at his transfer. I guess they had to pay for Bale somehow, but stylistically, Oezil was a joy to watch.

Mesut Özil is arguably the best player maker of this era. He ranks above the likes of Zidane, dinho and Messi in terms of pure vision and playmaking abilities. M10 is the goat🐐

Spot on Bourne

I've never heard of any Arsenal fans that hate Oezil

Micheal Ballack just turned out to be Jason borne 😂

No matter what, I got lots of love for Ozil...a football great ...coming from a Red Devil. His opinion (s) means he has a stand and view, which is respectful of a man

„I could immediately call 1000 reasons why özil should always play but i could also easily call 1000 reasons why he shouldn’t“

Never be sorry. For having a mind of your own!!

“to handle” woah

This is the best view on Ozil I’ve heard.

Came to see if the first comments were about Matt Damon… wasn’t disappointed.

He spoke out against the Uyghur Genocide and that's why he was treated the way he was. Thousands of players have come into the prem, not done well, and then been moved on. Mesut Ozil was the only player in the history of the PL who was removed from the video games, removed from his team and completely erased. Facts are facts. Years later we realize, but at the time we make excuses and say he was too lazy. How do you speak about KDB? It took how much time for him to break Ozil's record? Again, facts are facts. When Ozil came, he was playing in a different league it seemed, and that was clear to anyone observing Arsenal even from afar. So, stop with the revisionism.

Okay so it wasn’t just me who thought Matt Damon was talking about Ozil.

Ten years ago I used özil’s image as my social media avatar.

Michael Ballack=Matt Damon

Ozil one of the best players who passing very well not many players does it like him

The only WC winner 🇹🇷 ever had.

Because he was Muslim and stood his ground on his beliefs

Matt Damon is German 😂😂
