ADRID, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil said Thursday that he was confident his side would improve its football in the coming weeks.
Real are currently top of the BBVA Primera Liga, but their two home games to date have been disappointing. Although they beat Osasuna 1-0 and Espanyol 3-0, some fans have even booed the team for their dull style of play.
Ozil only joined in the summer after signing from Werder Bremen and he rejected claims that the fans were being over-demanding.
"The fans create a great atmosphere and you can feel it. But when you are on the pitch, you are concentrating so hard that you hardly realize what is going on in the stands. The fans support us for 90 minutes and you could see that against Espanyol," he said in an interview with Diario AS.
Ozil accepted that things cannot go to plan in every game his side plays.
"We are human beings, we are not robots and sometimes things work out better than others. Personally I try and help the team and I am certain that we will play better in the next few matches," said the German international.
"I am certain that the Bernabeu will soon be applauding our football. We are the league leaders and we know that we can improve. It is going to be a long road ahead of us, but we are a young team and we are to develop."
"We are going to get even stronger and the fans are going to enjoy what they see," he said,
Ozil also singled out coach Jose Mourinho for praise.
"He has had success everywhere he has worked and he knows how to get the best out of every player. He is a mix of allowing you freedom while demanding discipline and the team understands that. I think he is the best coach in the World," he concluded.
