Stunning stats and form get Arsenal star back on top

It was probably not a surprise to the Arsenal midfield star when he was not voted as the best player of the Germany national team for the calendar year 2014, despite the fact that Mesut Ozil had won the award for the three previous years and was looking untouchable.

2014 was not a great year for Ozil, especially at club level, and even though he helped Germany to win the World Cup in Brazil he was not as influential as he normally is and often had to fill one of the wide roles. For Arsenal his form dipped and he struggled to cope with the physical nature of the game in the English Premier League.

So our midfield magician must be delighted to be back on top in the eyes of the German football fans, after Sky Sports reported that the 27-year old had won the vote for the German Player of 2015. He did not just edge it either but with 46 percent of the vote he was a clear winner over second placed Thomas Muller of Bayern Munich with 16 percent.

Ozil comes across as a modest fellow and the fact that his main thing is providing assists rather than scoring goals himself shows that he is a real team player, but he must also be happy to be appreciated after all the criticism and doubts.

Will this award inspire Ozil to even greater things for Arsenal?

  1. Ozil doesn’t need d award to spur him on, he’s happy and has adjusted well now, happy and in good shape. U can see that with way he plays.
    Ozil is a joy to watch!!!!!

  2. Hope mesut ozil’s assist record continues against stoke city on Sunday and a goal from him wouldn’t hurt either! Coyg!

  3. But some delusional ex-players in Germany claimed he’s not world class because of the Southampton game…. Smfh, the logic of these haters never cease to amaze me. He won a freaking WORLD CUP ! The biggest trophy in football and one Messi has never been close to winning. In addition, in these last 5 years Ozil is ahead of Messi and Ronaldo in the assist charts, if you think our German playmaker isn’t world class then you simply don’t deserve to express your opinion on football matters.

  4. Michael Owen…………..It’s been long i heard from Him. Dude loves Ozil alot. LOL

    Ozil is not just proving them wrong, He is showing them that He has been a worldclass player for couple of years now….
