While also promoting the new laceless boot, Ozil took part in a Q&A conducted by Adidas ahead of him l wearing the boots for the first time.

He  explained what it is that makes laceless boots so apparently important for him.

“I always used to have the same ritual before every game where I make only knots with the laces instead of tying them in the traditional way, and then tuck them in,” he told Adidas.

“I think that if you tie your laces in the traditional way it’s harder to control the ball as the surface area is not flat.

"That’s why I’m so excited for the ACE 16+ Pure Control and having a laceless surface, though I will need a new pre-match routine now!

“I’ve tried my whole career to minimise the impact of laces on my game. To have a laceless boot is a dream come true.”
