Disappointing and ineffective, Arsenal midfielder, Mesut Ozil had the right to a warning from his manager, Arsene Wenger. The Gunners manager asked his player to find the path of the nets as he is on the horizon on the horizon the round of 16 go of Champions League against Bayern Munich on February 16.
The situation of the German international makes much talk in England. For several weeks, Ozil has a less radiant face and continues the performance rather disappointing. In the victory of Arsenal against Hull City (2-0) on last Saturday, the 2014 world champion was awkward in missing many opportunities.
Creator of 9 goals in all competitions during the first part of the 2016/17 season, Ozil changed his register. More regularly scorer, he the usual passenger decisive, the German was already only a realization of his best total over a season. But since the beginning of 2017, the former Madrilene shines less and no longer marks in recent weeks.
Arsene Wenger has been critical with his playmaker and is expecting more from him before the goal. “Maybe it’s time for him to score a goal again. He needs to find his confidence again. He misses chances that don’t look unfeasible for him.” said the French manager.
“Against Hull, I felt he was not confident. This is problematic because we expect him to bring us something extra, something special, but technically he missed things that he normally succeeds.” Wenger added.
The message is past and it is far from trivial. Wenger is well aware that he will need a Ozil to his best level to resist Bayern Munich in the knockout round of the Champions League. The Alsatian is not really the type to put his stars on the bench and therefore prefers to tickle it publicly in order to provoke a reaction. But this is probably not the only reason.

If a reaction is expected against the Bavarians, these remarks are also to be associated with the current situation between Ozil and the club in London. For several weeks now, the German has been unable to agree with his management concerning an extension of his contract which expires in June 2018.
