Emery orders Ozil to focus on his Arsenal form

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has ordered Mesut Ozil to forget about his problems with the Germany national team and to focus on his current form for the Gunners.

As reported on the Daily Mail, Ozil’s controversial retirement from international football is still causing quite a stir, with manager Joachim Low claiming that Ozil refused to meet him in London.

The midfielder came under heavy criticism for his performances during the World Cup in Russia over the summer and eventually decided to retire.

The playmaker then claimed that they was racism within the Germany squad and the issue has continued to drag on.

But Emery wants his star man to forget all about it and focus on his club football. He said:

I respect his decision with the player not playing with the national team. The individual players, I want only their focus on our match and our match tomorrow, because I think we need the energy, the performance, the concentration for our matches.

Tomorrow is our focus. I speak every day with the players, also with Mesut for the focus and concentration to perform the best for our performances.

Ozil has scored one goal in the Premier League this season and surprisingly, he is yet to produce an assist in the top flight also.
