Mesut Ozil on ignoring the critics and finding his peace on the pitch
44
Few Premier League stars have divided opinion in recent years more than Mesut Ozil.
On one hand, a mercurial talent, a rare player with the ability to unlock even the tightest opposition defences, someone who has produced on the very biggest of stages.
Yet on the other hand, a footballer who has been singled out for particularly scathing criticism at club and international level for supposedly lacking any hunger and commitment, and being underserving of his stellar wages.
