It seems to me that the longer Mesut Ozil is excluded from the Arsenal team, the more the media talks about the German, especially when our current midfielders are just creating opportunities for our forwards.
But I was still surprised to hear that Arsene Wenger, who led Ozil for more than 5 years, would join the debate and actually undermine Arteta’s decision in some way, telling the Spaniard to “build a team around him.”
“It wasn’t hard to handle,” Wenger told ESPN’s Caught Offside podcast. “He was a guy who had a special quality as a creative player and needed to have fun.
“He’s an artist and these guys are a little more sensitive.
“They need support and an environment that pushes them to do their best.”
“There are two ways to see a soccer team.
“You get everyone to do the same, the same intensity of work, the same defensive work, or you find a compromise.
“You have a more creative player on the team who can do less defensive work but you build a team around him that can compensate for these shortcomings.
“That’s what you have to think about.”
So now even Wenger got involved in the Ozil debate, are you telling Arteta that you need to fix the problem ASAP? It might be a bit late now, considering we’re only a few weeks away from the last transfer window before Ozil’s contract runs out.
Is Wenger a little behind on his advice?
