Ozil - Assist King

"He sees things that no one else can see"

"He is special"

Yes, he is, and yes, he can. But Ozil (and many others) are still Humans, like you and me. There is not any supernatural thing going on, no x-files, no magic, no nothing of that sort.

What makes the difference, and what makes Ozil special, is the understanding of the game. Its the intelligence he shows on every decision.

Knowing his teammates, knowing the opponent, and having so much experience, helps predicting what is going to happen next. He is able to predict what is going to happen and act accordingly to his predictions.

Its 3534535358723057897230985725 hours of not being trapped with rules that castrate this kind of options. Being free to pass to whoever he wants, to touch the ball as many times as he wants, to explore the game without being afraid to make mistakes.

Is making lots of mistakes, but being aware of them, and learning from them. I
ts trying again, but just a little bit different.. just to see if this time he can do it.

Its having the relationship with the ball so good, that he is able to interact with the game and turning into actions what he feels he should do at that moment. Its being able to put intentions into practice.

He does not even realize it, and may call it instinct .. but its avaluating the game and interacting with it based on that avaluation.
