Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit praises Unai Emerys management of Mesut Ozil
Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has praised Unai Emerys handling of Mesut Ozil.The German playmaker, 30, has struggled for form under Emery, despite being the clubs highest earner on 350,000-a-week.2

Unai Emery has been strict with Mesut Ozil

Ozil scored a goal, assisted another and hit the woodwork in Arsenals 5-1 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday as he started only his second league game since the turn of the year.He has missed 20 games due to form, injury and illness this term, and last month, Emery told his star man to be more consistent in order to nail down a regular starting spot.Petit, who played for Arsenal between 1997 and 2000, told Paddy Power: It has taken time for Ozil to show his real level on the pitch again.2

Mesut Ozil has not been a regular starter under Unai Emery

He did well against Bournemouth and looked fresh mentally. We know his quality – the only question is about his motivation, and what I saw on Wednesday is the beginning of the answer.Unai Emery’s management of Ozil has been good. He’s left him at home and put him on the bench at various times, giving him a few minutes here and there before now thrusting him back into the first-team. It’s a long process and it’s necessary to concentrate not only on the player but also on the man – for weeks, Emery has been doing that.So, I hope Ozil will keep enjoying himself on the pitch and keep his mind fresh. If he can do that, it will be a big weapon for Arsenal until the end of the season.Petit made 119 appearances for Arsenal, winning a Premier League title and FA Cup in the 1997/98 season.Ozil will be hoping to retain his starting place when Arsenal travel to arch rivals Tottenham on Saturday.
