Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has said he wants to structure his Arsenal team around Meust Ozil.
According to him, he was not shocked by Mesut’s energetic display vs Chelsea, because he has been pleased with the willingness he has shown in training.
He added that he wants to bring the best out of the German, even if he cannot win matches for the club alone.
His words, “That’s what I’m hoping, that he can sustain that level every three or four days,”
“He’s putting in everything he has to try to do that.
“His numbers, physically, have improved so much, and he’s willing. That’s what I can tell you from every day what I see in training.
“I’m not surprised. I know the ability, I know the player we have there. The structure has to help him for him to take everything that he has inside.
“On his own, he cannot do it. He needs the collective structure, organisation and his team-mates. There are only one or two players in the world who can do something on their own.
“He needs help and he needs the team to play in a certain way to facilitate his strengths more and more every time in the game. That’s what we are trying to do.”
“I tried to prepare the team collectively and individually with the strengths and weaknesses that we have, to avoid the weaknesses and promote as much as possible our strengths,”
“I think Mesut in those positions is very effective.
“I put him in the team if I see every day his attitude, his desire, if his understanding of what we are trying to do is there and he has the will.
“If he is in a better moment than somebody else, I will pick him. The moment this changes, he won’t play.”
