Ahead of his side's Premier League match with Everton, Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger has claimed midfielder Mesut Ozil is a 'perfect'
player and insisted the Germany midfielder does not get the credit he
deserves.
Ozil has been the subject of plenty of negative publicity since his
42.4 million-pound move from Real Madrid last summer, with his critics
claiming he has had a limited impact in big games for the Gunners since
his arrival.
Yet Wenger offered a stout defence of the midfielder, who won the World Cup with Germany this summer, as he insisted he was an underrated member of his squad.
"People are very harsh on Ozil because he's a player who is easy with
his play," stated Wenger. "He will never be a tackler, but he's not
getting enough praise.
"When you watch his game back the next day you think 'what a player'.
Everything he does is intelligent and the timing of absolutely
everything he does is absolutely perfect.
"You never catch him giving the ball too late. The number of players
you catch giving the ball too late is unbelievable. You never get that
with Ozil.
"He's like a guy who plays music with perfect timing. There aren't many players like that.
"There's been the same debate about him in Germany, but he was always in the team in the World Cup."
