And ahead of his side's game against Bayern Munich he gave more praise to another player. When asked who his favourite German player was he answered Mesut Ozil and revealed why telling Reviersport:
"He's an outstanding player. I rate his style of play, his passing quality and also that he always finds a solution with a long ball or a dribbling. He's elegant with the ball.
"I also liked Miroslav Klose, as a scorer with a nose for goal and strong on headers. I really liked how he tracked back."
Ozil has been in the headlines quite a bit recently himself. The former Real Madrid midfielder has been linked with a move back the Bernabeu with his Arsenal contract up in 18 months time.

The German seems to have swapped his passing boots for his goalscoring boots this season with 10 goals in all competitions and 'just' six assists.
