Alexis Sanchez Talks About His Relationship With Mesut Ozil and How They Work So Well Together

Published on: 12 December 2016

Arsenal pair Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil have both been in fine fettle for the London side this season.


Sanchez is just one goal shy of Diego Costa's total in the Premier League, while Ozil is enjoying arguably his best form since joining the Gunners.Their performances have seen Arsenal maintain a good position in the league, and they could possibly go top with a win over Everton on Tuesday night.

The ex-Barcelona man supplied Ozil with his first three goals of the season, and set him up with an easy tap-in during the rout of West Ham the weekend before last. He is definitely enjoying playing alongside the Germany international, and speaking to the club'sofficial website, the Chilean star claimed that there was real respect between the two.


We respect each other,� he said. That's the way it should be between players and team-mates. We have to respect each other and do our best on the pitch.


Ozil is a quality player and he really enjoys playing football. I always tell him to enjoy it and not get too worried about scoring.


"If he enjoys it he can score goals like the one he managed to score against Ludogorets, dribbling past two defenders and the goalkeeper. That is the kind of goal every player dreams about.

"I feel very comfortable playing alongside him. He has great vision and there's no need to praise his great first touch because everyone knows about it.


He is a quality player and he is willing to win all the time. He wants to prove his quality in every game and every training session. That makes him special. He is a World Cup winner with a winning mentality, and he is still eager to win more."
