Chapter Eighty-Three: Who to Choose?
"Mesut Ozil! beautiful goal! brilliant !!" was a free-kick that impressed Marcel Leif and shouted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Mesut Ozil is a German international, so Marcel Leif doesn't have to be so much of a burden to praise him.
In any case, it is the pride of German football!
And this goal was indeed scored very beautifully, when everyone put him to pass the ball to assist, the former Real Madrid assist king kicked a very imaginative free kick......
Who would have thought that he would let the ball go around the wall from the outside and into the near corner of the goal?
"Mesut Ozil! He shows his worth! 50 million euros is worth a lot!" He Ping also applauded Ozil.
Zhou Yi is not there, Yan Min is not on it, and he is not a Dortmund fan, so he can be objective and neutral at this time.
Besides, Mesut Ozil's goal was really beautiful.
There is a nickname for Ozil circulating on the Internet, called "Ezu", which is mainly related to the former Real Madrid legend Zidane "Zizou". Ozil is of course describing Ozil as being of a high level and as impressive on the pitch as Zinedine Zidane.
It can be seen from the free kick just now that "Ezu" deserves its name.
The entire chieftain was cheering for Mesut Ozil as he ran under the stands to greet the cheers given to him, and the rest of Arsenal's players rushed up to hug him and celebrate with him.
I believe that at this moment, whether it is live or in front of the TV, Arsenal fans must be extremely excited and happy.
Because such a good midfielder almost didn't belong to Arsenal.
After Ozil's goal, some excited Arsenal fans excitedly proclaimed on their personal social networks: "What more Zhou Yi! What else is Zhou Yi! We have 'Erzu'! Erzu is the greatest, most powerful and most awesome midfielder!"
His declaration of excitement was quickly recognised by a number of equally excited Arsenal fans, who all came in to show their support.
Any Arsenal fan who knows about this summer's transfer drama will be thrilled at this moment because it was all so difficult......
In the summer of this year, Arsenal had pursued Zhou Yi very strongly, but in the end, Zhou Yi renewed his contract with Dortmund, making all Arsenal's efforts come to naught.
They had to turn to other candidates, and Ozil was one of them.
Originally, Ozil has always been the main force of the team at Real Madrid, but due to the renewal of his contract, the two sides have conflicts.
Ozil's agent was his father Mustafa, but he was notoriously greedy and became his son's agent for the sole purpose of making money with his son.
The club and the agent collapsed on the issue of contract renewal, and there was a lot of negative news about Ozil in the media during that time, such as hanging out in the nightclubs of Madrid, not training actively, not having a good attitude in the game, and dropping the chain in key games...... This kind of thing also caused damage to Ozil's image.
But is it really Mesut Ozil who has these negative news, or is it a public opinion offensive launched by Real Madrid to renew his contract to reduce the price or sell people to cash out...... This kind of thing, unless it is a real insider person, even the person concerned may not be able to tell.
A series of events that followed also turned out to be detrimental to Ozil's stay at Real Madrid.
The first is Mourinho's departure.
Mesut Ozil is a player that Mourinho brought in when he was in charge of Real Madrid, and he can be regarded as Mourinho's favorite player. But with Jose Mourinho's departure, Ozil's future at Real Madrid has become less certain.
The second is a series of reinforcements from Real Madrid in the summer, Florentino wants to create his new "Real Madrid Five Eagles", so he introduced a lot of local players, among which Isco, the winner of the European Golden Boy Award introduced from Malaga, is naturally Florentino's most important local reinforcement.
And the arrival of Isco also squeezed Ozil's place.
In the pre-season warm-ups, Mesut Ozil could only play on the wing, which was completely incompatible with his midfielder setting.
The arrival of Wales winger Gareth Bale was the last straw that forced Mesut Ozil to leave Real Madrid.
Because it cost 91 million euros to bring in Bale, even Real Madrid, with deep pockets, will need to raise funds to make up for the expenses. Therefore, it is normal to sell Ozil, who is at an impasse in contract renewal, to cash out.
Real Madrid initially wanted to sell Mesut Ozil to Paris Saint-Germain, a wealthy man who offered it a higher price.
But Ozil himself refused to go to Paris.
If he can't stay at Real Madrid, he'd rather go to the Premier League.
Arsenal began to attack Mesut Ozil after losing the opportunity to bring in Zhou Yi. In the end, it was Wenger who called Ozil himself to convince Ozil to join Arsenal.
So at the last moment of the closing of the transfer window, Arsenal officially announced that Ozil had joined, with a transfer fee of 50 million euros, wearing the No. 11 shirt, signing a five-year contract with an annual salary of 8.5 million euros. The transfer soap opera has finally come to an end.
Mesut Ozil would certainly not have thought that when he persuaded Zhou Yi to join the giants at Real Madrid, he would leave Real Madrid one day......
Fortunately, Arsenal is also a giant, but it has not won a championship for eight years, and the giant's quality has weakened slightly.
However, Arsenal spent so much money to buy him in the past, and broke the salary structure of the team for him, isn't it just for him to bring the championship to Arsenal and rise again?
Judging from the current game, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has played at a high price.

Mesut Ozil's goal was a bolt from the blue for Borussia Dortmund. He started off in good shape, but was stunned by Arsenal's two goals in a row.
There were problems in the game, Zhou Yi was not there, and the players were habitually demoralized.
That's when Klopp began to adjust.
He replaced Mkhitaryan, who scored the goal, with Kuba.
Mkhitaryan opened the scoring in the first half and arguably had been outstanding. So replacing him wasn't because he wasn't happy with his performance, it was purely a tactical choice.
Jurgen Klopp wants to make the attack a little simpler and a little faster.
So he replaced Mkhitaryan and brought on Kuba, hoping to speed up the attack.
Zhou Yi was not present, Klopp also adjusted his thinking, not to finish slowly with the opponent, or simple, fast and direct, although the technical content may be low, but the effect may be good.
When Kuba came on the pitch, it was the 60th minute.
With 30 minutes to go, it wasn't difficult for Borussia Dortmund to score a goal in 30 minutes and equalise.
Ten minutes on, though, Dortmund have not improved in attack.
Zhou Yi is not there, Mkhitaryan has been replaced again, and Dortmund's attacking methods are now very simple. This offensive approach relies more on the player's individual performance rather than on tactical coordination.
But in today's game, most of the players on the offensive end were not in very good shape.
So Klopp began to brew a second substitution.
There are three more players on the bench who can now step up the attack, Hoffman, Yan Min and Schiebel.
Hofmann had regular minutes off the bench before, but he didn't put in much of a performance other than that goal. If he continues to give him a chance this time, will he be able to repay his trust?
Sheebel only came off the bench once and didn't score.
What about Yan Min?
I didn't even have the experience of coming off the bench once, let alone performing.
It stands to reason that at this time, if it is for the sake of safety, Hofmann should be replaced with a lot of experience as a substitute. But Klopp closed his eyes and could almost foresee what Hofmann would do when he came on the pitch......
He has made eight substitute appearances in the league and one in the Champions League, so what performances he can bring out is almost fixed.
As for Shibbel...... In terms of tactical options, he is not a very suitable player.
So Klopp chose Yan Min.
He called assistant coach Bwach off the bench: "Go and call Yan Min." ”
Perhaps because of the noise at the Emirates Stadium, Bouas thought he had misheard, so he asked, "Who?"
"Yan Min!" Klopp repeated aloud.
This time Bwach heard clearly, it was indeed Yan Min.
However, this choice is not very unexpected, Yan Min has nothing to say about his training attitude since joining the team. I haven't played a game all the time, I haven't lost my temper or emotions or anything, and I haven't talked nonsense in the media.
So for this, you should also give people a chance to play.
