Özil is a third-generation Turkish-German,[146] who, in reference to his game, concludes, "My technique and feeling for the ball is the Turkish side to my game. The discipline, attitude and always-give-your-all is the German part."[147] Despite his Turkish descent, his entire life he has been committed to Germany.[96] According to Özil's own words and the majority of sources, his ancestors are ethnic Turks[148][149] from DevrekZonguldak in northwestern Turkey.[150] However, there are sources that claim Özil's ancestors are ethnic Kurds.[151][152]
