DBasia.news – Unai Emery seldom placed Mesut Ozil as the starter in Arsenal due to a strong reason. One of them is the performance.
Ozil might be good in one match and declined in another match. The inconsistency raised the attention from Arsenal legend, Emanuel Petit. He admired him, but now, Petit didn’t see the passion from the Schalke Academy alumni.
“Where is the Ozil who was one of the best players around, making so many assists and goals? I think he has lost his desire on the pitch, it’s not there anymore,” Petit said cited by Goal.
“Ozil was taken off at half-time (against Brighton). I’m a big fan of his, but he has been a ghost for two years.”
Ozil’s inconsistent performance seems like continuing his weak performance throughout the year, especially after being the scapegoat of Germany public and leaving Germany national team.
