Mesut Ozil has named Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo as his best team mate ever after their time together at Real Madrid in a wide-ranging Twitter Q+A in which he also listed Matteo Guendouzi as the best youngster at Arsenal.
Responding to questions from supporters on social media, the midfielder also discussed his fractious relationship with the German national team, Arsene Wengerand a host of other subjects. He named Juventus forward Ronaldo as his best team-mate after their time together at Real Madrid, while also reserving praise for the Portuguese’s long-time rival Lionel Messi, who he claimed was the most talented opponent he has ever faced.
And asked who is the best young talent in the Arsenal squad, Ozil heaped plaudits on fellow midfielder Guendouzi, describing him as a ‘brilliant player’.
A summer signing from Lorient, 19-year-old Guendouzi has made an instant impression at the Emirates, making seven starts in a strong opening to the campaign under Unai Emery.
Ozil also insisted he still supports the German national team despite retiring from international football after their disastrous World Cup defence in Russia.
