Style of play of Arturo Vidal

A versatile and hard-working player who played several different defensive and midfield roles in his early years,[67][68][69] Vidal eventually found his position at Juventus in the centre as a box-to-box midfielder, capable of assisting his teammates in both defense and attack.[70] Throughout his career, he has also been deployed as a central defender, as a defensive midfielder, as an attacking midfielder, or even on the wing, due to his crossing ability.[67][68][69][71]
It was these displays for Juventus that led him to be nicknamed Il Guerriero ("The Warrior"), Rey Arturo ("King Arthur") and La Piranha by the Italian press for his hard-tackling and aggressive, tenacious style of play.[5][15] Vidal is a complete midfielder, known for his marking, positional sense, tackling, and anticipation, attributes which allow him to be effective at intercepting passes, winning back possession, and subsequently starting an attack.[67][72] He is also gifted with good technique, pace, and stamina, as well as good vision, good distribution, a powerful shot from distance, and an eye for goal.[67][69][71] Having been the first-choice penalty shooter for Juventus,[73] he is also an accurate penalty kick taker.[74] Due to his strength and physical characteristics, he is also effective in the air.[67] All these qualities have enabled him to become one of the leading exponents of his position.[72][75]
At Juventus, Vidal became an integral part of the Bianconeri alongside teammates Claudio Marchisio and Andrea Pirlo in the club's three-man midfield, and has made a name for himself as one of the best players in the world in his position; Vidal credited his development and maturity as a player to club legends Pirlo and Gianluigi Buffon.[76] Vidal is also considered one of the most complete midfielders in the world due to his tackling abilities and his ability to support the team in both defence and attack at a high level.[77] In 2013, Bloomberg ranked him the 11th-best player in Europe.[78]

Style of play of Mesut Ozil

A quick, creative and technical player,[123] Özil excels in an advanced playmaking role,[124] as a winger on either flank, or as an attacking midfielder through the centre of the pitch.[125][126] During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he was also deployed in a new role which was later described as a false-10 or central winger, due to his tendency to drift from the centre into a wide position when in possession of the ball;[127][128] he has also been deployed in a more advanced role, where he usually functions as a second striker, as he often drops into deeper positions, from which he can link the midfield with the attack and initiate passing moves.[126] An elegant left-footed player, his main attributes are his vision,[129][130][131] his control, movement, passing range, and accurate crossing ability,[125][131][132] which allow him to get into good attacking positions, create chances, and provide many assists for his teammates.[133]
Due to his creative ability and offensive prowess as a playmaker, Özil has been called "assist-king" in the media.[131][134][135][136] As of January 2016, Özil has the best ratio of assists per game in the history of the Premier League.[137] Germany under-21 manager Horst Hrubesch once said, "We in Germany are prone to rave about foreign players. We praise Wayne Rooney to the heavens, likewise Ronaldo or Messi. But we have our own Messi. Our Messi is Özil."[138] In the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifier against Belgium, he scored a goal which has been described as a "work of art."[11][139] Germany coach Joachim Löw hails Özil for his "genius moments" and his performance without the ball.[140]

Former Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso described Özil as "the kind of player you don't find these days," adding, "He understands the game, sees things, combines and thrives between the lines, unlocking teams." José Mourinho, who coached Özil for a time at Real Madrid said, "Özil is unique. There is no copy of him – not even a bad copy."[141] Assistant coach of the Germany national football team Hans-Dieter Flick said, "We are proud to have him in our team. When he has the ball, you can feel the excitement and astonishment among the fans."[105] Former Netherlands and Milan forward Ruud Gullit described Özil as a "technically perfect" player who has "total control of the ball" and a "great imagination."[142] Former Germany teammate Phillip Lahm said of Özil "His vision is probably the best I have ever seen... He is a dream for strikers.",[143] while Mario Gómez called Özil "probably the most brilliant footballer we have or ever had".[144] Despite his reputation as an offensive playmaker, Özil has also drawn criticism at times for his lack of physicality and his low defensive work-rate off the ball.[131]
His nicknames have included "der Rabe" (the Raven, or in Spanish, "El Cuervo") – playing on his smart and opportunistic style of play,[145] and at Werder Bremen "der neue Diego" (the new Diego), in reference to Brazilian Diego, whose playmaker role he inherited,[146] "German Messi"[147] and "German Zidane."[148] At Real Madrid, he was supposedly called "Nemo" – in reference to the clownfish Nemo from the Pixar movie Finding Nemo.[141][149]
