Mesut Ozil revealed his football idol and also the main reason why he joined Laliga giants Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane had always been an idol for Mesut Ozil to the point where the German wore football shirts with the name and number of the Frenchman on his back.
Even the first time they crossed each other’s path at Real Madrid for the first time the German midfielder was nervous to meet him to the extent his hands were sweating.
"I was really nervous," he said to the Arsenal official website, ahead of the Legends meeting on Saturday.
"I had dreamed of playing at Real Madrid precisely because my idol, Zinedine Zidane, played for them.
"My first day there with Mourinho and all my teammates... Of course, when you are new in the dressing room you are a little quiet, but I was especially nervous when I met Zidane, it was the biggest moment for me.
"I had many things in my head and I was thinking about the time when I was young with my friends and I bought his shirt and played like him on the pitch where I grew up.
"My hands were sweating but in reality he was really relaxed and I enjoyed my first meeting with him."
