Arsenal star hits back and reveals the truth on the Mesut Ozil and Unai Emery fall-out rumours

Arsenal star Nacho Monreal has opened up on the Mesut Ozil and Unai Emery fall-out rumours. Mesut Ozil was left out of the squad to face West Ham. Arsenal stated that the German playmaker was absent due to illness. “People have been a bit unfair with him,” said Monreal, while discussing Ozil with Standard Sport. “He is a very famous player and obviously people love talking about him. Recently, it is always bad things. Like last time, he was sick and that’s why he didn’t play. “People started to invent that he had a problem with the manager. It wasn’t like that. He got a cold, he was sick, that’s it. That’s why he didn’t play.” Monreal is adamant that as long as the 29-year-old continues to contribute in games, that his critics should be ignored. “The important thing is he plays at his highest level, gives a lot of assists, scores a lot of goals and basically helps the team," said Monreal. "That’s what he knows. He doesn’t know how to go up to a player and grab him by the throat.” “People must understand that every player is completely different,” said the Spaniard. “He is like that [quiet] and 10 years ago he was the same. So you can’t expect on the pitch that he starts to fight, to talk with the referee because he never did it. He is not going to change in this case.”
