>The Arsenal midfielder Mesut Özil has claimed in his autobiography that during their time working together at Real Madrid, José Mourinho called him ‘a coward’. >The pair both joined Real in the summer of 2010 and left in the summer of 2013, winning the Spanish championship and the Copa del Rey together. >The book, 'Die Magie des Spiels' ('The Magic of the Game'), is being serialised in German newspaper Bild, and recalls a tense encounter after one unspecified game, when Mourinho tore into the player for a perceived lack of effort. >Özil writes that the Portuguese said: “You think two beautiful passes are enough. You think you’re so good that 50% is enough.” >Özil continues: “He pauses. Stares at me with his dark brown eyes. I stare back. Like two boxers at the stare-down before the first round. He shows no emotion. Just waits for a response from me. How much I hate him right now. But I love Mourinho actually.” >Finally Özil responded: "What do you want from me?" and threw his shirt on the floor, angering Mourinho even more. >"Oh, are you giving up now? You’re such a coward. What do you want to do now? To creep under the beautiful, warm shower? Shampoo your hair? To be alone? Or do you want to prove to your fellow players, the fans out there, and me, what you can do.” >According to Özil, Mourinho then went on to mock the tackling abilities of his player, who would one year later become a World Champion.
>“You think two beautiful passes are enough. You think you’re so good that 50% is enough.” He's not wrong. Özil's biggest problem is he's a lazy fuck, who can get away with a few good passes a match, and shouldn't have to press.

Make no mistake about it, we won the World Cup DESPITE özil, not thanks to him
He played no crucial role in our victory

As though that's even remotely relevant to the fact that Ozil can't tackle for shit.

Leave him alone. He gives his best. If you don't like it, fire him. It is that simple. He's there only because whatever he does is indispensable for any team. He doesn't want your work hard ethic. He's transcended all that nonsense. He's a philosopher.
Juan Wright
based goatrinho
also, özil is too rich to have a ghostwriter with such a shitty prose. step up, senpai
Adrian Jenkins
No, because unlike in movies, Ozil wasn't inspired to do anything else but go directly under the shower without saying a word.
Kayden Reyes
You think two beautiful passes are enough. You think you’re so good that 50% is enough. Tbf, he is that good.

Sure, but if he gave a damn he could still be playing for Madrid.

I don't think he can give a damn though, not built that way.

Owen Brown
once in a while a good one emerges from their lot like pic related or gündogan
but yeah, overally they're quite shit and then they have the audacity to complain about why they're stuck in their ghettos for all their lives
for some reason secular turkish girls (or girls from muslim countries in general), who entirely drop islam, oftentimes go full slut mode
I guess it's a symbolic lifestyle to show their rebellion against their traditional cultural heritage
but at least she speaks proper german, like gündogan özil still can't, despite having been born here....

this is why mourinho gets sacked from every team. the only time his tough guy run around a bit beaner attitude worked was in inter.
ozil a shit
Caleb Anderson
>the only time it worked was Inter
What about Porto, Chelsea, Madrid, Chelsea again...won titles with all those teams, didn't he?
Jonathan Bennett
because he's a good tactician and also a good motivator
but he also is a narcissist who tends to annoy his players after a while (although his criticism of özil was spot on and fully deserved)
Caleb Jackson
>getting the best out of their players and winning quasi-impossible trophies make him sackable
aren't you weird? I guess you prefer Arsene's version of Ozil?
Isaac Johnson
>but at least she speaks proper german, like gündogan >özil still can't, despite having been born here....
He is too good to learn properly German, so 50% is good enough for him.
Isaac Lopez
>narcissist
Mourinho is really good at dealing with starlets like Ozil or bitchy players. The thing he's not good at is dealing with fucking snakes like Diego Costa and Hazard.
Xavier King
wtf i love mourinho now
Luis Long
You sound like a homo. None of what he said was even harsh.
And did you even read all of it? Ozil said he loves Mourinho actually. He recognises that he needs that motivation and is grateful to Mourinho for providing it.
Jaxon Collins

Charles Clark
Alphas have always reacted well to Mourinho - Drogba, Terry, Materazzi, Ibrahimovic, Carvalho, Pogba.
He doesn't know how to manage beta snakes - Hazard, Ozil, Casillas.
Liam Jackson
Providing effective feedback and finding the right way for each player to get the best out of them got nothing to do with narcissism. Özil himself said that it helped him. At Madrid he was a much better player too, while he rarely turns up for Arsenil. Mouyes motivated Zlatan back at Inter by ignoring when he scored, which caused Zlatan to score more.
Also:
>"I grabbed my towel and walked past him to the shower without saying a word to him," Ozil concluded. "Later, I apologised for my behaviour to Sergio Ramos and the rest of the team." >The 28-year-old had initially preferred a move to the Nou Camp, but claims then-Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola was absent from discussions over a transfer, allowing Mourinho to swoop. "Because of Guardiola's behaviour, I did not want to go to Barcelona," Ozil wrote. >"Especially because Mourinho fought so much at the same time. He was so convincing. So heartfelt, trying so hard. He was the complete opposite of the Barca coach. So I decided for Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid." >Ozil later admitted his old manager was right and the argument helped him to improve. >After both had left the Bernabeu in 2013, Mourinho said of the playmaker: "Ozil is unique. There is no copy of him – not even a bad one. He is the best number 10 in the world."
Joseph Campbell
ozil is such a cunt
Gavin Gomez
literally what we all know, he is a top player and really good with the ball at his feet, but half the games he looks like he doesn't give two shits
that's why everyone meme's his invisibility, and it can be a problem for his team, you can't perform for 30 games of ~50 when people like modric always get 4/5 stars for 48 out of ~50 games.

Ozil is a fucking faggot. I would cut my dick off to be a professional footballer and this guy walks around the pitch and doesn't give a fuck. He can't keep getting away with it.
Isaac Cooper
You left out the good part where Özil, after getting the Mourinho "go out and show what you can do" speech, just goes to take a shower instead. Typical Özil.
Caleb Lee
Ozil is a fraud and Mourinho is a merc
nothing else to see here
Evan Howard
Ozil is a luxury player. Looks great when his team is dominant, but is nowhere to be seen when they're up against it.
Gavin Myers
>Özil responded: "What do you want from me?" and threw his shirt on the floor
proof
Bentley Garcia
The game was already over....what was Ozil supposed to do, hop in his time machine and play better?
actualy in the rest of the published part of the biography he claims that Mourinho's words did help motivate him. Imagine what he would be without them.
Justin Myers
does that mean CR7 is a beta
Robert Gray
it was at half time
Tyler Russell
>starts making out
Nicholas Johnson
OP translated it wrong, it was during half time and Özil even threw his shirt at Mourinho and said "Why don't you go out and play instead if you're so awesome?"
