Arsenal’s big summer signing Mesut Ozil has
revealed in an interview with the club’s official
website that he enjoyed playing over the
Christmas period.
.
He said: “I’m very pleased that I’m in this league
because you go from game to game very quickly. You
play every two or three days and for me it’s better to
play more games than train because I love a
challenge and here that is perfect.”
.
Ozil joined Arsenal from Real Madrid over the
summer for £42 million and has had an instant
impact at the Gunners, scoring five times and
providing ten assists.
.
Having progressed through the German youth
systems before transferring to Real Madrid, Ozil has
never experienced life in football without a winter
break.
.
Although he missed two games over the period with
shoulder troubles Ozil told Arsenal.com he enjoyed
the period.
.
The Gunners are currently top of the Premier League
and Ozil has played a great part in their success so
far this term.
.
He added: “I feel comfortable here. You can see on
the pitch when we play together that we have a very
good understanding….The team is great and for me
it’s been very easy to settle – the German players
here have helped me to establish myself quicker
than I perhaps would have done were they not here.”
