Mesut Özil finally got the call in the 78th minute of the international friendly between Germany and Norway. The 20-year-old was substituted in for Hamburg's Piotr Trochowski, celebrating his debut with Germany's senior national team. The 1-0 loss was not the best way to make a debut for the Werder player. But Özil still was excited after the game about his appearance.

 

"Unfortunately we lost today. But I am very happy to have played in my first senior international match. We were the better team but just could not score a goal," said Özil. German national team coach Joachim Löw praised Özil after the game: "Mesut played 15 minutes today. We know that he is very technically skilled and will improve further in the future. His development will continue."
