Unai Emery explains why he is leaving Mesut Ozil out of his Arsenal side
Unai Emery explains why he is leaving Mesut Ozil out of his Arsenal side. Unai Emery admits it is necessary ‘provoke friction with footballers’ as he continues to leave Mesut Ozil out of his Arsenal side. The German World Cup winner has struggled to adapt to the demands of Arsene Wenger’s successor and was again left out of the squad last Saturday as Emery’s team slumped to a 1-0 defeat at West Ham. Arsenal are reportedly willing to sanction Ozil’s departure, less than a year on from rewarding him a with a £350,000-a-week four-year contract, but would likely have to heavily subsidise his wages.

Explaining his methodology in dealing with big-name players, Emery told Sky Sports: ‘At certain times, you have to provoke friction with footballers. ‘From that friction, you can get something more out of them, something from inside, a greater sense of ambition or maybe even a complaint – a complaint regarding the team can be positive. ‘As a manager, you have to be careful because that friction can break a relationship. But I believe in always looking for more, both individually and collectively, with conversations which are comfortable but also with conversations which are less comfortable. ‘In the end, the main thing with any footballer is that their qualities are used to benefit the team. As a manager, you have to get the maximum out of that player and at the same time make sure that he fits with the rest of the team so that everyone is better. ‘We know that we have to put pressure on the players, to push them. So if a player is giving 70 per cent, he gives 80 per cent. Then if he is giving 80 per cent, he gives 90 per cent. There is always another step, another push. Psychology is an aspect which can help to find it.’ To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Jose Mourinho sends message to Petr Cech after Arsenal goalkeeper announces retirement Arsenal hold talks with Invincibles star to replace Sven Mislintat Unai Emery reveals the one Arsene Wenger problem he's still trying to fix

How Arsene Wenger reacted to Mesut Ozil’s record breaking Arsenal contract
How Arsene Wenger reacted to Mesut Ozil’s record-breaking Arsenal contract. Arsenal will consider allowing Mesut Ozil to leave on loan in January following a breakdown in his relationship with Unai Emery. The 30-year-old was left out of the match day squad ahead of Wednesday’s night’s Carabao Cup defeat against Tottenham with Arsene Wenger’s successor citing ‘tactical’ reasons for the German’s absence. Reports claim the tension between the former Real Madrid star and his new manager intensified after Ozil was hauled off midway through the second half of Arsenal’s recent draw against Crystal Palace. Ozil was replaced by Danny Welbeck and ignored Emery as he walked towards the touchline, before throwing his gloves off in anger. What Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told Manchester United squad in first training ground meeting Manchester United devise back-up plan if they can't land Mauricio Pochettino Four Manchester United stars threatened Ed Woodward over Jose Mourinho sacking MORE: How Unai Emery’s relationship with Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has broken down To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The former Germany international has started just 11 of Arsenal’s 26 matches this season, the most recent of which came in a Europa League dead rubber against Qarabag, and just once away from home since mid-September. Arsenal’s hopes of selling Ozil in January appear remote, given he signed a new contract just under 12 months ago worth a staggering £350,000-a-week. Ozil had less than six months remaining on his old deal and, faced with the prospect of losing another star player for nothing, having seen Alexis Sanchez move to Manchester United, in a swap deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan, former chief executive Ivan Gazidis decided to offer Ozil a club-record deal. According to the Independent, even Wenger, who had always been one of Ozi’ls biggest supporters, resented the club bowing to the playmaker’s demands with such an exorbitant salary offer.
