Mesut Özil's bulking up has been called a 'midfield genius'. 

After playing for Real Madrid, Arsenal, and the German national team, Özil has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world. A World Cup champion, Özil's physical trait is his thinness. His fine passes, quick movements, agile dribbling, and accurate shooting from his slender body were impressive. He was the epitome of a creative midfielder who didn"t play with strength.  

He shocked the world when he announced his retirement from active play in March of last year. He said he was unable to overcome nagging injuries. "It has been a privilege to play football for 17 years. I am eternally grateful for the opportunities I was given. Thank you to all the teams, coaches, teammates, and fans who supported me," he said in his farewell.

A year after his retirement, Özil is as controversial as ever. The stares and attention are as intense as they were during his playing days. Why? Because of his transformation. It"s because of his body. In one year, the slender Özil became the Hulk. His hypertrophied body causes astonishment. 

Özil's bulking up has never been so impressive. If you don"t look closely, you 토토사이트 might not recognize him. His biceps, for example, are more than twice as big as they were during his playing days. Some even claimed that he was preparing to return to active duty. 

Özil has been sharing his daily routine on social media, and many soccer stars around the world have expressed their amazement at his bulking up, or have begun to support him. The relay phenomenon was reported by the UK's The Sun. 

His former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, whose muscles are second to none, reacted: "Not bad," he said. The nuance is that he still has a long way to go to catch up.  

Manchester United's legendary defender Rio Ferdinand admired, "You look strong, bro," while Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger called Özil a "beast." Frank Ribery also left a heart, while Roberto expressed his amazement by calling him "a machine".
