Mesut Ozil is experiencing Unai Emery's 'mind games', says ex-Arsenal star

Mesut Ozil was left on the bench during the win over Bournemouth and didn't even warm up. Ozil is feeling the force of Unai Emery's mind games according to former Arsenal forward Kevin Campbell, but he thinks the German will benefit from them in the end, writes Mirror. "We thought how we can do better in the match, a very demanding match with physicality and intensity,” said Emery after the game. "But every player is important. Also today we tried with three centre-backs. It’s another opportunity to improve and find our best performance." Later he added. "It depends on how the match is coming and how the result is coming during the 90 minutes. I decided for another option." Former Arsenal player Kevin Campbell, thinks that Emery is doing the right thing. "I think it's smart management [to drop Ozil]," he told Love Sport Radio . "We know that sometimes when it gets really physical, people accuse Mesut Ozil of not even turning up for the game. "It's away, it was going to be tough so he's used his squad the best he can, he changed the system and Mesut Ozil is there on the bench if he needs him. This manager isn't afraid to make tough decisions."
