Hansi Flick, the coach of Germany, spoke out after Mesut Ozil’s decision to “hang up his boots” and showed how much respect he has for the former player.
Mesut Ozil has made the decision to leave the world of football and retire. Many consider him one of the best “ten” in the last two decades, and the coach of Germany has the same opinion.
“Mesut Ozil was one of the most important players in our national team. During his most successful period, I also considered him one of the best footballers in the world. For ten years, he was an inevitable part of the national team, the highlight of which was the world title in 2014, to which he also made a significant contribution. I really liked working with him, he had exceptional skills, and his technique and vision for the game were outstanding. “All of us in the national team wish him and his family all the best in the post-career period,” Flick said.
Let’s remember that during his career, Ozil defended the colors of Werder Bremen, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Fenerbahçe, and Başakşehir, while he became the world champion in 2014 with Germany.
