Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal coach, has come to the defense of Mesut Özil following Arsenal’s disappointing 1-5 defeat to Liverpool. Despite Özil’s recent struggles and criticism, Wenger emphasized that the entire team, including Özil, had a bad day and that no single player should be blamed for the defeat.
Wenger acknowledged that Özil has not been at his best in recent matches but stressed that adapting to the physical demands of the Premier League can take time, especially for a player of Özil’s caliber. Despite the challenges, Wenger expressed his confidence in Özil’s abilities, describing him as an exceptional player and a world-class talent.
Wenger also highlighted Özil’s willingness to work hard and his self-awareness, noting that the player recognizes when he is not performing at his best and is committed to improving. Ultimately, Wenger refrained from putting too much pressure on Özil and expressed his belief in the player’s ability to bounce back from his recent struggles.
