Former Arsenal midfielder shows off impressive muscles after a thorough training process.
On his personal page, Mesut Ozil updated a photo of himself showing off his muscular body. The German midfielder's current physique is completely different from his slim, scholarly appearance when he played football.
In March, Ozil started showing off his gym results. At that time, he was not confident enough to lift his shirt to show off his abs and chest muscles. After 3 months, the 2014 World Cup champion's physique has shown remarkable progress. Currently, Ozil's muscles are compared to those of a professional bodybuilder.
Just over a year after announcing his retirement, Ozil's rapid muscular transformation has surprised fans.
Previously, when Ozil showed off a video of himself working out in the gym with his personal trainer, he received a reaction from Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7 left a compliment for his former teammate: “Not bad, bro.”
Recently, Ozil often shows off his fitness training, surprising many of his former teammates. Antonio Rudiger once called Ozil a “monster” when he witnessed the player’s training.
Meanwhile, former football star Rio Ferdinand exclaimed: "You look strong, man."
As a player, the former Real Madrid midfielder possessed excellent individual skills, but was often poor in one-on-one battles. His physical and fitness shortcomings were once said to be the reason why Ozil could not reach the top.
