Unai Emery sends Mesut Ozil a message ahead of Arsenal vs BATE Borisov: Press Conference

Arsenal go into the game against BATE in their Europa League last-32 tie having lost the first leg 1-0 in Belarus last week. Boss Unai Emery says that Mesut Ozil is the only person responsible for gaining his place back in the Arsenal team. "The key is in his hands. He is working very well this week," Emery told Wednesday's press conference prior to the game. "I ask him in our conversation for consistency, to be available for us for training, when you can train consistently you can help us with your best performance in the games. This week has been good for all the players. I am looking at him doing the training like we want. He needs to be available consistently for training, without the injuries, without the sickness." Emery on the game For us, tomorrow is very important. After the first result, we must manage the 90 minutes and also know that if we need more minutes, it can be in our mind. It’s important for us to play in our stadium with our supporters. We need support, I hope there will be a big atmosphere for us. With our supporters, I know our players can play. Emery on team news - is Ramsey fit? Yes. They are coming back with the squad, Today Ainsley is sick, we will wait for tomorrow. Today he can’t do training. The rest of the players are well. Emery on the possible low attendance because of the early kick-off I don’t know. But we want and we need our supporters. A big atmosphere for us is very important. Emery on what's needed on Thursday night We had chances to score [last week]. The efficiency we need to improve tomorrow. We must manage 90 minutes to get a good result for us. We need to be consistent in 90 minutes. We need a big result. Emery on the Europa League The Europa League improved a lot, it’s very difficult to win. Every team wants to win this competition, it gives you a title and the chance to play in the Champions League. Emery on BATE We have big respect for BATE. We are not thinking about winning the competition, we are thinking about tomorrow night.
