Ballack: "Özil hasn't been accepted by his team-mates"
Özil isn't going through a great patch right now at Arsenal. The missed penalty against Bayern has put the former Real Madrid player back under scrutiny. Michael Ballack, the former German captain, spoke to the Daily Star about his fellow countryman's situation.
"With his quality he should be untouchable and bring out so much in the team. But it looks like he has not the acceptance of the team." However, Özil started well enough: "When he came here there was so much expectation with the quality he has. The first games he looked good, played well and was comfortable, but now he looks a bit lost in this team," the former Chelsea player added.
Mesut Özil played the full 90 minutes against Bayern Munich and had one shot on goal. Of the 60 passes he made, he lost the ball on 10 of them, but he recovered possession on four occasions.
