Ozil insists attacking instincts not curbed by Real Madrid coach Mourinho

Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil enjoys playing for coach Jose Mourinho.

Ozil insists he's not had to curb his attacking game to fit into Mou's system.

"I have not lost anything in adapting to Mourinho's tactical discipline," Ozil told El Pais. "Forwards also must work. I have become more active and Mou will improve me even more.

"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."
