Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil believes that Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has made him a better player.
The 23-year-old has starred for his country at Euro 2012 this summer, and he has stated that Mourinho has "given him confidence".
"I have not lost anything in adapting to Mourinho's tactical discipline. Forwards also must work. I have become more active and Mou will improve me even more," Ozil told El Pais.
"He has given me confidence and I am very grateful to him. I feel very comfortable there and that is why I have been able to play so well in recent seasons."
Germany face Greece in the quarter-finals on Friday.
