Mesut Ozil on Scoring, the Team + His No. 10 Role

Mesut Ozil has been the star player so far this season for the club and there is no doubt that he's proving all the doubters wrong- well, should people have been doubting him in the first place?

I honestly feel that this guy will have his best season yet. He's broken the Premier League assists in consecutive games record by assisting in seven league games in a row. His total in all competitions is now 11 assists and it's only November! If he continues at this rate, he'll break Theirry's record and set the new standard in the league for years to come.

With his first pre-season at the club and coming back from injury stronger, I think it's doing him the world of good, and he says so himself. He recently spoke to Sport1 about the season so far and what he hopes to achieve.

"I am an absolute team player. I don't need goals for my ego,"

"Whoever is positioned best in front of the goal should shoot. But I understand that I need to try to score myself from time to time. I do that now."

"On top of it all, that I have my position as the No 10 in midfield now. And you should also not forget that we've got a super team, and get along really well.

"We all know how the others play, and you also predict the running path of a teammate in a situation."

He was also asked about whether his form would help us win the title.

"Not because of Mesut Ozil, but with Mesut Ozil."   

"We've twice won the FA Cup, and won the Charity Shield this summer too. We definitely want to improve that. Should we continue like that, and become just a tiny bit more consistent, it can work out. But the others don't sleep."
