Germany always wants to be the best

Q: Germany is going to be the number one team in the FIFA rankings for the World Cup.

Mesut Ozil: It's good for us. But it does not guarantee anything (winning the World Cup). Ranking number one means that we have played well for a long time, we are consistent. On the other hand, only seven matches will be played in the World Cup. Being a champion will depend on those seven-day performance. Especially in the knockout phase, you may suffer a bad day.

Q: After the victory in Maracan (the final of the 2014 World Cup) Germany has gone through a bad time. What has happened to the satisfaction of the world?

Ozil: No, not exactly the same. Shortly after the World Cup, some of our best players retired. It took us a while to get up. Four years ago and before the World Cup we got back to the best form. It implies that the hunger of winning as a team is the same as before. We look forward to the World Cup.

Q: How painful was the 2016 semifinal rate?

Ozil: I could not even forget that defeat. We very much wanted to be the champion of Europe. We tried to do what Spain did a few years ago. We also believed we could. We got into the semis and became one of the best four teams. It took a few days to accept the defeat.

Q: What did Euro 2016 teach?

Ozil: In the knockout stage you have to play the best game in each match. There is no chance to make mistakes, not at
all.

Q: You were suffering from being the world champion?

Ozil: No, never. We knew that the tournament would be tough. Because there were all the big teams in Europe playing. The fight becomes even more intense when the best teams face the crown for the crown. France played well on that day And luck was not on our side.

Q: Under the Joachim Law, Germany has reached the semifinals of every major tournament. The 2010 World Cup, 2012 and 2016 Euro defeated the semifinals. In the 2008 Euro final, Spain defeated Spain. These statistics speak of the team's outstanding consistency under Law.

Ozil: The specialty of German football is that we always want to be the best. That's really we lost four semifinals. But this means that we are one of the best four teams in each tournament to participate. It is awesome as a achievement. On the other hand, it is important not to be satisfied, but we got it.

Q: Germany's partner Mexico, Sweden and South Korea in the group stage Very easy group for current champions.

Ozel: Maybe there is a paper or a piece of paper. But to go ahead, we have to play well. The first goal of any tournament is the group stage. Then you will have to play with each match finals. This is one of the success stories in the big tournament.

Q: Your season did not work well in the club and your coach Arsene Wenger also left the club. Your opinion

Ozil: Arsene has a huge impact on me. This is also true for my remaining Gunnar teammates. It is impossible for us and Bhola to contribute to him. Yes, we can not be as successful as we have dreamed. At the end of the day, this is football. He brought me to Arsenal, how did he forget? He used to be with us all the time, how he used to play football with his philosophy, thought and good football. We could not win a trophy last season. But I'm hopeful, I can do great things in the World Cup.

Q: What role do you like best?

Ozil: Want to be part of every team's attack and control the whole game. Helping me to enjoy it floats in joy Yes, sometimes I also scored. But it is more important to play the role as the team wants. Each coach has its own philosophy. The coach wants to play the way shown. That's important for a player in a team game.

Question: Sometimes critics ask questions about your efforts!

Ozil: That's more significant than what my coach said about criticism or statistics. Of course my statistics are not too bad! And if I feel I can not perform my duties properly, I know where to go, who to talk to. If the coach is satisfied with my efforts, then I understand that I have done my job properly.
