Jose Mourinho offers advice to Unai Emery on how to get best out of Mesut Ozil

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has urged Unai Emery to show Mesut Ozil some love. "With me, Ozil played amazingly well, maybe not with Unai. And maybe a certain player was phenomenal with Unai, and [wouldn’t] work as well with me," Mourinho said on beIN Sports. "I just feel that Ozil is the kind of player that needs both sides of it. If you are just sweet with him, you lose his natural aggression "He’s not naturally a very strong, physical player in terms of aggression. [But] if you are too strong with him, and you forget that – he also needs a little bit of care, and a little bit of love - you don’t find the right balance." Unai Emery has made it clear Mesut Ozil isn’t his long-term plans. The Gunners are short of funds this January, and it appears Emery has looked at Ozil’s £350.000-a-week salary as something that can be cut from the wage bill.
