Arsenal’s Legend Is Frustrated to Mesut Ozil

DBasia.news –  Mesut Ozil is the trending topic in Arsenal this season. Since performing against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Boxing Day, he seldom seen on the pitch and often excluded by Unai Emery.

No wonder that the former Arsenal player Emmanuel Petit mentioned him as a “wasted talent”. Petit also asked Ozil’s motivation as a football player.

Interestingly, Arsenal manager Unai Emery often emphasized that he still trusts the Germany player. Moreover, he denied the rumor that Arsenal would kick Ozil from Emirates.

But, in fact, Emery didn’t give any chance for him caused by the strategy.

Responding to Ozil’s situation, Petit is upset. “It is very frustrating.”

“He is a wasted talent, he has a terrible psychological problem.”

Petit concerned Ozil’s non-technical situation. Petit explained that this has been going for two years.

“In 2002, when the French team went out [of the World Cup] as champions, it was shameful, not just that we lost it but the way we lost it. It is the same with Germany in 2018. Ozil was seen as one of the most responsible for that because of his body language on the pitch,” Petit explained.

“But it was already the case for Ozil for the last two years for Arsenal – one great game, four average. Mentally he is not there anymore.”

“Physically he is in good shape, he has talent, we all know his quality, but if you cannot work your brain to be the beautiful player we know you can be, it’s over,” Petit added.
