Mesut Ozil made me the worlds best striker
Dennis is something special. We are talking a lot about exciting football, and Dennis Bergkamp, I think, started with attractive football a long time ago. He was one of these players. A lot of the things he did as a football player you can compare to art.
I know how Mesut Ozil takes penalties.
When people ask me the best player I played with, I always say Dennis Bergkamp. He just had so much class.
Has there ever been a Premier League star splitting opinion more than Mesut Ozil?
Mesut Ozil, a Mario Gotze, a Mats Hummels, a Holger Badstuber, and so on - they are very mature even in their younger years.
I just want to be playing! I love to play. But I think I can play in the three positions behind the striker.
I loved the style of Wenger, and I admired players like Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.
I know from my Real Madrid team-mates Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira and my family in Andalucia that people look up to me in Spain.
Of course, for the national team it is good to have Mesut Ozil in good form.
You need two or three players who can do that - play behind the striker, on the right wing, the left wing... striker, maybe. If we have those, it's good for the team.
Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry had more quality than Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.
When I joined Arsenal in 2000 I learned a lot from Dennis Bergkamp. He was the mind of the team and he made things look easy.
When I came to Arsenal years ago, I saw things from Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry I'd never seen before.
Our junior national teams feature increasing numbers of kids from immigrant backgrounds, but who have grown up in Germany. Their roots are elsewhere, but they feel German. They draw on two cultures, and I believe that's been a real and visible factor in the football we've been playing. One of the best and abiding images was Cacau, a Christian with Brazilian roots, celebrating a goal with Mesut Ozil, a Muslim from a Turkish background. Ozil jumped on to Cacau's shoulders, and they gazed up into the stands, both wearing Germany shirts. It was wonderfully symbolic.
The way we stop Mesut Ozil is as a team. He's a good player but only as a team can we stop him.
