Arsenal fans are worried about Mesut Ozil’s wellbeing at the north London based club following the newly appointed manager Unai Emery’s debut press conference.
The Spanish tactician replaced long-serving manager Arsene Wenger this week and stated that he wants to implement an ‘intense’ playing style at the club.
A key part of Emery’s plan at Arsenal involves changing the team’s approach in games, and the Spaniard has insisted that he wants a more attacking approach.
“My idea is to be a protagonist for all of the match, we will play against all the teams with this personality,” Emery stated.
Ozil has already been accused by the likes of Martin Keown of not working hard enough.
After hearing Emery mention the words ‘intense’ and ‘pressing,’ Arsenal fans took to social media to express their concern regarding Ozil.

Ozil missed the final weeks of the Premier League season due to a back injury. The Germany international has however been included in Joachim Low’s national team squad which will travel to Russia for the 2018 World Cup.
