The German international is having a good time at the Spanish capital as he revealed that he shares a healthy relationship with his side’s head coach.
Real Madrid’s Mesut Ozil has voiced his praise for manager, Jose Mourinho, as he stated that he is very thankful to the Portuguese mentor for believing in him.
According to the midfield maestro, Mourinho has complete faith in his ability which is a factor that helps motivate him.
Ozil went on to claim that the good relationship that he has with the veteran trainer helps him excel and perform better every time he takes the field.
The attacking midfielder did not enjoy the best start to the new season’s campaign as he was made target of a great deal of criticism.
As the 2012/2013 campaign kicked off, the Madrid number 10 was unable to find his lost form as he did not put up a performance which was expected of him.
The first few weeks of the new season saw the creative midfielder struggle under pressure as he could not perform as well as it was hoped of him.
Consequently, the footballer was dropped from the starting 11 at the Spanish giants in order to accommodate other players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 and Micheal Essien.
Nevertheless, the German player was soon a part of the regular team once again as he demonstrated a side of his true potential in the following matches.
Ozil maintained that the initial weeks were a little difficult; however, he expressed his gratitude towards Mourinho for giving him another chance to prove himself.
While talking to kicker, the 23-year-old was quoted as saying:
"Mourinho knows what I can do and he has faith in me. I'm grateful for the confidence he has shown in me. Walking around the streets of Madrid is unbelievable. The fans are incredible. Naturally they make me feel proud and happy.”
"The atmosphere when I play in the Santiago Bernabeu is special. It's amazing."
Real Madrid’s last game was a league encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. The match that took place at the Nou Camp saw the two teams share the points as it ended with a score of 2-2.
