Ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has urged his compatriot Mesut Ozil to improve his game even more and perform in big matches for the club and become more influential.
Mesut Ozil was acquired from real madrid in 2013 for club record transfer fee of £42.5 million. Mesut Ozil had a mixed season on his debut. He started the campaign well but faded away as the season progressed, mostly due to injury concerns. In this season the German international has scored five goals and provided nine assists.
Speaking about Ozil’s role Lehmann told English media: “Everyone knows he can be a fantastic player. But you need to be a fantastic player in the big games.
“You don’t need to be a fantastic player in the small games and mediocre player in the big games.
“He can definitely do that but now he must prove it. You need to know how to think and how to programme yourself.
“Of course he can improve. You can’t get better on the day that you retire from football – but you can every day before that.”
Arsenal now have an excellent midfield lineup as Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla grace the team’s upfront. Alexis Sanchez was last season’s marquee signing for the Gunners. Arsene Wenger’s spending habbit since 2013 yielded the club back to back FA Cup titles. The time has immense talents at their disposal and are worthy enough to bag the Premier League title this season.
