London –
Mikel Arteta admit it is not easy to drag Mesut Oezil from Arsenal. He hurt so much when he had to do this.
Oezil was thrown out of the squad Arsenal after not being registered at the event Premier League and the Europa League. Manager Mikel Arteta has repeatedly emphasized that the decision to remove Oezil was due to technical problems, but the public did not just believe it.
Actually, Arteta also doesn’t hope that a single player will be crossed out of the competition list. Circumstances forced him to have to make decisions and explain to the player even though there were parties who did not understand.
“I was hurt, because I don’t like any player in my squad not having the opportunity to participate or compete, for me it’s very sad because I don’t think anyone deserves it,” Arteta told beIN Sports.
“Regarding Mesut at the moment, with the squad list, it is clear he cannot be involved. I try to explain as clearly as possible to him, to the fans and all the media because they deserve to know the reasons why and some people will understand and some will not understand it,” Arteta continue.
For the record, Oezil made 2.4 chances per 90 minutes during Arteta’s handling, the most among Arsenal players. Meanwhile, the one closest to Oezil only made 0.89 chances at the same time or not half.
This means that Oezil could be called back by Arteta to enter the squad for the Gunners. However, there is one important condition so that Mesut Oezil can be played by Mikel Arteta again, namely being willing to play totally and not be lazy to move without the ball.
“Everyone can (come back to the team) and I think since I got here you see some players have started. Their careers have really changed and they got that right. We gave them a chance and they took it.”
Arteta also knows very well that Oezil’s name is always echoed by fans when Arsenal achieve bad results. Like the humiliating defeats of Leicester City and Aston Villa.
“When you lose a game, the name will come up and if you don’t lose it won’t happen. In the end I sit here to make decisions, to make decisions which, in my opinion, are the best for the club. This is what I have to do. , “Arteta insisted.
