The Greatest Midfielder That ALMOST Was: Mesut Ozil 

❤

Please do a video of alexi sanchez

Didn't u already make a video on ozil years ago?

one of my cant never frgt Özil i remember first watching him for my selection Ger in subs when they were climbing up

And me with r10, etoo, zlatan, henry..

End of an era for real 😞😢 💔

@@RaymarFootball Football will never be the same for me now.

@@RaymarFootball i say the best era of football

neymar wont survive for long as well

I feel so old reading this 😅

But he should have left arsenal and played for a better club , he himself is to be blamed for it

@@DJ-mp7ze exactly, I get the nostalgia is real tho

@@DJ-mp7ze personally I think he should've never left Real Madrid, he could've done so much more there with the players he had around him at that time, overall I agree with you, Arsenal was not really a good choice

He should have moved to barca or Bayern

​@@vuyo.5841 He didn't want to leave RM. He was forced out to accomodate Bale.

Since then they won 4 cl titles in 5 years. It was no mistake.

@@vestaris4601ven tho we won 4 ucls we can’t say that we were the best prime. If we played barca on our best day we’d lose to theirs best day. If ozil didn’t leave that story would surely would’ve changed as he and Ronaldo would’ve absolutely FARMED goals and prolly would’ve made memories to remember for years. Stunning goals, beauty team play, friendship would be so much more nostalgic

@@oye2240he was a defensive liability tho and once real really dominated Europe they basically had no defensive weaklings except maybe for Ronaldo’s reluctance to work for the team on Defence but let’s be honest he’s part of a hand full of players who can easily get away with it … having a second player like that in Özil would’ve really weakened their defensive stability

@@davidfebreeze428yup and they have dimaria basically same playstyle as ozil

@@davidfebreeze428 reluctance? ....... Madrid was simply changing at the time and at the end of the day I think with less output modric is a better player.. and di maria had a better Madrid stint or rather more memorable

Cant believe the club didnt back him, I get football and politics shouldnt mix but it’s an issue so many are ignoring

Him and Sanchez were such a good match 🔥

​@@RaymarFootball It wasn't about backing at all. after the erdogan photo he still played (we backed him), after he exposed the German fa as racist he still played(we backed him) , even after criticizing china he still played (we backed him ) 3 different managers identified his lack of commitment at arsenal . Emery , arteta and ljunberg all dropped him despite his quality . Wenger was well aware and gave him special treatment (extra days off ect) something that will only ever upset a TEAM dynamic . Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard . He's been kicked out of the fenerbache team aswell , I doubt a Turkish team binned him for his political views and his support of Turkish politicians . It's his lack of commitment off the pitch . Do you think he isn't still capable of starting for fenerbache ? Everyone knows his quality and capabilities but no one will stomach someone not being committed, I would rather have a player that is technically poor but will give me 110 percent everyday and would die for the team than someone world-class for the 2 days a month they can be bothered to try .

@@RaymarFootball Was because of his work rate and discipline lol

​@dutchRKelly there were a lot of players in those Arsenal teams who didn't give 110% aside from Ozil. He was being asked to play a role he didn't suit. There are countless world class players that aren't expected to track back and receive no backlash for it because of how they play, find space, and what they can do in the opponents half. The board never surrounded him with players good enough. Maybe 1 or 2 at different times with the likes of Santi and Sanchez but it was never consistent and 1 or 2 isn't enough. Regardless of his alleged lack of discipline, you have to learn how to deal with that and cater to the biggest talent in your team. Or else it will end with mediocrity as ever Arsenal fan repeatedly witnessed. This luxury is afforded to the world's creative types and star players but for some reason never was for Ozil

Saw it week in and week out and you’re saying it as it was.

but they were not as a matter of fact its when Ozil left that Real madrid started to win the champions league

​@Opti they were. They were in fact the only functioning part of Madrids broken attack. A Kaka way past his prime, Benzema and modric who were nowhere near their prime. I mean xabi alonso was doing a better job attacking. This was the reason Madrid weren't winning UCLs

@@ForeskinWillis true, but lets be real, mourinhos real madrid were extremely unlucky not to win the champions league, i still consider 2012 real madrid the best real madrid ive seen

Carlo Ancelotti is a very bad manager, Made both ozil and Cr7 leave.

Never saw him before 2013, but had a great spell for Arsenal

That period felt a lot longer than 3 years as a Barca fan. One of the few players I could never dislike in Madrid and always enjoyed watching him.

Guti, why guti didn't appreciated as Ozil? His flamboyant playing style is similar, isn't he?

@@jurristiim a barca fan but i always thought özil was the most interesting player on the pitch during clásicos (after messi ofc)

Guti was very inconsistent

Lmao give this dude someone that scores like benzema or ronaldo when he was at arsenal he would’ve shattered the assist records.( no disrespect to abuymeyang but he’s not on ronaldo or benzemas level)

Lmaoo he was a fucken beast. His goal in the 2010 World Cup is how I remember him from the first time I saw him play

He had better stats then Xavi and Iniesta combined.

@@Wowvod giroud

@@Wowvod he had Giroud for a long time. He matched the assist record in half a season. He should have smashed it and then some, much like how Haaland is smashing the goal record. If he was in this City team during his prime, boy o boy, that would be incredible.

💯

In a world where Saudi and Qatari human rights abuses are tolerated, Ozil deserves to be celebrated for not playing, not lamented for what could have been. The rest of the world's complacency was the problem. Not his action.

He was not a playmaker,, he was chance creator ,can include him in attacking playmaker category.

Je préfère Ozil ❤

appreciate that my man 😂 Had to make this video a little extra longer! Stay blessed and safe 💯 🙏

@@RaymarFootball Have to show love to my favorite football youtuber 😆

Just because of ronaldo finishing, ozil got this numbers

@@rahulgusain7817 ronaldo wouldnt have got those finishes if it wasnt for ozils playmaking lol, stop undermining him

He wasn't hard working enough

@@siam9914 lol..how come someone like ozil not hardworking..are u drunk?

@@Mr.XxxxxxXxxxXxxx209 have you even watched him on arsenal??? He was inconsistent and lazy

@@siam9914 he was legend at arsenal bro.. if ozil still player and the attacker is jesus damn arsenal fly high 💪💪

@@Mr.XxxxxxXxxxXxxx209 no doubt he was a legend. But he was better at madrid

But ozil should have left arsenal for a better club , why did he wasted his prime

maybe i have short term memory but i swear ozil gave 0 fucks about arsenal

Didn't you watch the video ? The club had no choice- it was political.

The fans plus the media treated him the same.

@@AaoiAme the fans were asking every week where tf is Ozil. The fans loved him. The board treated him like a criminal.

very good point

lol never ever being anywhere near the best player in the world.laughable.

@@paulmichaelrichardson6582 keyboard warrior

@@dhruvmehta666 stop it you clown

Il est vraiment le meilleur joueur de tout les temps ⌛️ OZIL ❤

Arsenal really disrespected him imo, I know he did the club dirty with the wage dispute but damn

@@RaymarFootball he brought it up on himself with his lazy attitude

@@RaymarFootball its a 2 way thing ig, club was pissed at him for speaking out, even tho its the right thing to do. And he himself was not corporating with the club with wages and his performance dips / lazy work ethic.

@@arithmetic7105 by talking about human rights? ye sure man

You should regret that Modric and de Bruyne never player for you.

@@hw2508 de bruyne is nothing when you comparing for madrid ozil...

@@doom6144 I have seen them both since their time in the Bundesliga. And Özil was fantastic, but he seem to drift out of games. De Bruyne is the more complete player. More leading, more driven to be successful. Who treats his own career like Özil did for the last couple of years, is not a world class player. Özil had it all and many people protected him for a long time, but he threw it away.

Damnn maybe halland have 100 of goal at this time and keep counting 🤣🤣

Messi is by far the best offensive Player in football history and he cant Header goals. If Messi had never scored a goal, he would probably go down as the best playmaker of all time.

I mean, he has by far the most assists of all time

He has most playmaker awards aswell it’s impressive imagine Messi as full midfielder to start in his career to end he would be even higher!

Let us make a video about Ozil a shoutout for Messi 😂

Among these crowded Messi fan, Ozil still find spaces to go through

Probably because his style that doesn't really want to be more physical since it doesn't make him really stand out or noticeable on the game. Although of course he compensate that part with his intelligence. Just the same as Sergio Busquets. He was so good technically that you don't seems to see him do anything throughout the game.

Because of his roots obviously. Germans hate Turks

It's sad but a big part was that he was Turkish and liked to be turkisch. Germans don't like that. They always loved him when he carried so obviously that noone could Denie him but as soon as he made one mistake he was the "useless turk"

German racism towards the Turks is why.

​@@enjintft This is not the reason he is not liked in germany. He posed on a picture with erdogan and let him be the best man on his wedding, who undermined the turkish democracy. This is a topic many germans felt strongly about, especially at that time. Also he has a tattoo of the "grey wolfs", who are respnsible for hate crimes and murders of kurds in turkey. They also direct theyr hate against jews and christians. fact check before you make such a claim

Giroud won a ucl unlike bog eyes

@@zxcbbnm7552 when did giroud win ucl?

​@@blast2686at Chelsea, I believe

Yeah completely crazy. All he did was uh...openly support a dictator with numerous human rights violations. Snowflakes these days get so triggered over the most minor things, like tacitly endorsing ethnic cleansing

He did support Turkey, who are comiting genoside on the Kurds, so i dont know if he is that good of a human being.

@@stefankatsarov5806 if you are form a country you tend to support them regardless.

​@@dibyashwormansingh3837 and that's how we define "good human"! Ladies and gentleman, presenting to you all, the new Buddha

@@dhananjaypathak3374 i said good not enlightened or RIGHT learn the difference

Good guy Özil who openly supports an authoritarian dictator in the middle of an attempted ethnic cleanse. Wow what a great guy

he continued to play after those comments. To the detriment of the team. he should have need dropped well before he was

"no politics" said Arsenal, proceeds to never miss a chance to promote ukraine like it's the first war that ever happened to the human race, fifa literally fined whole clubs and individual players for showing support to the palestinian cause.

​@@GTari-ob6bj exactly, it's crazy how no one talks about this. the double standards...

*An autocrat staging a military coup to then take control of turkish judicial. Fixed it for you. After that, no moral human looked at Özil the same way as before.

Not exactly the entire story tho, Ozil had German mindset and Turkish skill, combined the two was the most dangerous thing. But he also took the downsides of being who he is, German high nose and Turkish laziness in his late career. He could just simply run more and train more, he would still be around.

@@emirsuleymantanrkulu709 idk dude was a pretty accomplished footballer. I’m not sure if you’re in any position to call him lazy… unless you’re more accomplished in your own life..

@@stevecelestin6716 he is the one who became twitch streamer in arsenal and then skipped next 3 seasons ahead in other clubs he joined. not me.

@@emirsuleymantanrkulu709 yet somehow is more accomplished than you is my point. So you’re not saying anything. Once someone is worth 10s of millions of dollars some might say they get to be as lazy as they want

@@stevecelestin6716 according to your ill logic only riches of the riches can call someone lazy, you cant complain about your coworkers if they are not working, because you maie the same money. objective truth doesn’t require your paycheck.

KDB isn't a classic 10 bro. Only classic 10 that still plays in his preferred position is David Silva for Real Sociedad. Most pure 10 has been phased out or they're playing out wide

@@jonathana6943 KDB definitely is a No.10 but not a classic like the guys i have mentioned. With the ball he is a classic No.10 but what makes him that good is he can play against the ball as well what turns him into a "not classic No.10" lol if that makes sense. Also yeah, david silva is a world classic No.10 but as i said, no room in big clubs. Real sociedad is dogshit compared to the big clubs lol. Coutinho and other guys as well play in their preferred role but all play for dogshit or midclass teams.

The age of that luxury specialist player maker has sadly ended 😢

What ? Özil was good but it was not actual number 1

Who wanted?😂 Wtf are you talking about?

Hehe no pin but you’ll get this award and a heart 🥇🏆 ❤️😂 appreciate you 🙏

@@RaymarFootball omg you replied to meeeeeeeeee bro im a big fan❤

Man said way better. In terms of playmaking I am only taking Messi from your list

@@jonathana6943 Xavi won the IFFHS Playmaker award 4 times, only Messi has more.. Özil has 0 😂 If you are too young to have seen Xavi play…that ain’t my fault 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@vb2388 Even if he has more awards you can't watch ozil, messi,xavi and iniesta playmaking and say there is a huge difference between them

@@jonathana6943 I can as Özil lacked consistency and Longevity in terms of playmaking as well.. Mate, any version of Özil doesn’t even close to prime Xavi

Depends ,when it comes to assits ozil prime is better then the three of them

He betrayed Germany and didn't apologize.

Man was their 5 TIME GERMAN FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR and helped them win a word cup. Crazy 🤦‍♂️

hahaha 😂 thank you for the feedback brother 🙏 Always appreciate the support and I’ll definitely try to talk slower next time 😅🫡
