Former Bayern Munich midfielder showers praise on the German international for his impressive show in last week’s El-Clasico.
The Assistant manager of German National team was talking in the wake of Madrid’s 3-1 defeat at home to Barcelona on Saturday, December 10, 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979, Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas fought back to guide the Catalan giants to a comprehensive win over their bitter rivals.
After the game, Los Blancos officials criticised midfielder Mesut Ozil for failing to maintain his authority in the midfield and losing possession on numerous occasions. Since his arrival from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904, Ozil has hardly completed a game and was once again substituted before the hour mark.
Flick reckons that the attacker was impressive during his stay on the pitch and has been harshly treated by Madrid officials. He believes that Ozil dominated the midfield and it was a huge mistake to substitute him when the side was trailing by a goal. The assistant believes that had Ozil been given some more time on the pitch, Los Blancos could possibly have secured a point from the game, which they later went on to lose by a two goal margin.
He added that Ozil’s performance on Saturday was an encouraging sign from Germany’s point of view with Euro 2012 around the corner.
While talking to the DFB’s official website, Flick further elaborated:
"From our perspective, he played a good game. I have absolutely no understanding why others have negatively assessed him. The movement he showed, his passes, his reception of the ball, his ball-control and his ideas - all these were very good. It must be said, however, that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 after the equaliser managed to close down space very well when Real were in possession of the ball."
Ozil tied knots with Madrid in 2010 and so far, he has 50 La Liga appearances under his belt to go along with six goals. Manchester United manager, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson, will be alerted with the German’s situation at the Bernabeu and might try his luck with a January bid after failing for his signature in the summer.
