Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil insists he's happy in Spain.

Ozil has been linked with a move away over concerns for his lifestyle away from the club.

"I can go eat anywhere, although people recognise me right away. I can live with that and I try to adapt. In Madrid perhaps that's more exaggerated than in Germany and there are always paparazzi around. People in Madrid are crazy about football and I think that's great. For the Spanish media, when you play very well, you're the best in the world. When you don't, they are highly critical. I focus on my work and on what the coach thinks about me. The rest, I don't care much."
