AT $79million, Mesut Ozil is the most expensive export in
the history of German football.Against Bayern Munich, you wouldn’t have paid
two bob for him.
There should have been something special about returning to the
country where it all started for the Arsenal midfielder.
But behind those eyes something is going on with Ozil
because he is not right.
“Ozil has a hamstring injury and it looks quite serious,”
Wenger said.
“He will miss (Sunday’s) Tottenham game for sure, he needs a
scan. He’s out for at least a few weeks.’’
But in that 45-minute spell that passed him by before he was
substituted with a hamstring injury, he had just 21 touches of the ball.
To put that into perspective Thiago Alcantara, in the heart
of Bayern’s midfield, had 66. Want more? Bastian Schweinsteiger 47, Arjen
Robben 33, Franck Ribery 33.
Ozil, the highest-paid player at Arsenal, is nicking a
living. In the Allianz Arena, against the world’s best club side, he had a face
on him like a slapped backside. He was lucky to get to half-time.
