If Mesut Ozil Carlsberg felt his first award of the match in the UEFA EURO 2012 was hardly deserved, was happy to accept his second award as the tournament after an impressive display of excellent 4-2 victory over Greece Germany.
The player was one of the lights that shine on a screen of purpose in Germany, playing a role in some of its most skillful movements of step and two assists to claim the strike-through opening Philipp Lahm and Miroslav Klose third seed .
Germany coach Joachim Loew had predicted that Özil was ready to go up a level and that's how the player himself admitted later. "My first game was not as good, but today I think I played very well, the team has supported me so I could show my potential," he said. "I did very well although it was not just me, but the whole team did."
Christian Karembeu, former France midfielder and winner of the UEFA EURO 2000, presented the award to the player of Real Madrid and said he had not hesitated to choose Özil as the recipient. "It was very easy since shone today with everything he did. He is a playmaker and every time he touched the ball, created opportunities."
Loew also lent his voice to the chorus of praise, saying: "It fully deserved the award, he was always there - when we were in the attack, was always in the game, always available, always in motion, he did. Much. He made the connection between the players in the back and the attackers, all went through it. "
Ozil added that the German team had received the visit of Chancellor Angela Merkel after the game - "We congratulated for how well we've played" - and went on to emphasize its focus on booking a place in the final when they face England or Italy Thursday's semifinals in Warsaw.
"It really does not matter if we play England or Italy, we want to reach the final," he said. "We want to take the next step and we will give everything to get it."
