When a player like Mesut Ozil, who sees things on the pitch that most of us can’t, praises a teammate for his vision, you know he’s talking about someone special.
That’s very much the case as the German international spoke about how much he enjoys playing alongside Santi Cazorla.
The two have dovetailed beautifully this season, and Ozil is looking forward to making that relationship stronger next season.
““I think we’ll have lots of enjoyment with him over the years because he’s a creative player and it’s a lot of fun for me to play alongside him,” he told the official website.
“It makes it easier for me too because he sees things that some other players may not. That’s why we’re pleased to have him here.”
The fact that the Spaniard has performed so well in a relatively new position is something else which drew praise from the former Real Madrid man.
“Santi’s been very strong,” he continued. “He’s had to adapt to a new position which he may not have always been used to playing in.
“I think he’s been excellent this year. We’re very happy to have a player like him in our ranks. He’s very good on the ball, as we all know, and is now very defensively strong too.”
The thing that makes us wonder is if you fused the two players together in a The Fly style accident, would it be a Cazözil or an Özorla?
It’s the big questions. We know.
footballers speaking in clichés is such a cliché
He is saying Santi is on drugs ie seeing things that others don’t.
It explains his constant cheeky smile.
game recognize game.
He is actually saying ..’no I am not the only one’ ..
This is one of those times where the pot calling the kettle black is a positive I think. Two of the best number 10s going round and we have em both. Joy!
Is that a promise to deliver us the EPL next season?
Yes, I think it is, no
I admire your confidence, no
Ozorla u meant?
Ozil’s cheeky flick + cazorla’s wonder move + alexis’ amazing skill = what a joy to watch in a game & the best thing is they’re arsenal!
Fabregas also sees things others don’t. Like backheels just outside the penalty area against a Barcelona team with Messi, Xavi and Iniesta in their pomp. Genius.
He also feels what others don’t. Like an injury when there isn’t any.
You can’t tell what he’s thinking unless you can actually see both his faces at the same time!
Two faced is the best way to describe cesc – pretending he could never play for another team in the epl (easy to say when you are in Spain) and that he is a fan following how we were getting on without him – then joins Chelsea!!!! What sort of Arsenal fan would join the chavs or manure? It would be like an animal rights activist getting a job at the local hunt!!! SICK
he won his title, but imagine if he stayed and did it properly with us! He would have been a legend and would not have had to pay for a meal in the Arsenal area for the rest of his life, haha.
Yeah i’m sure Cesc is really hurtin for those free meals with while he eats Arabian Oil thousand dollar bills for breakfast….
While i’m disgusted by Cesc’s decision to play for Chelsea, I still feel difficulty in leveling any significant vitriol – reading this chain made me feel significantly better.
And DNA yearnings from DNA stock that clearly doesnt want him and boos him out of the club
Well, at least he didn’t play for anyone other than us in the premier league. Man of his words, I tell you.
“Fabregas is magic
He wears a magic hat
He could have gone to Arsenal
But he said, no, f*ck that…”
Sang the man himself.
Pity
a/ he is not magic,
b/ he does not have a magic hat – that is wengers and fabregas shouldnt have touched it c/ Wenger didn’t want him
d/ He actually said “aaaaggggh im sorry olease take me back… why .. oh f*ck it ill sign for Chelsea”
He sees things that others don’t want to see – like John Terry in the shower and Mourihno autofellating.
I’m not sure what autofellating means and I’m afraid to type it into Google to find out, but it sounds like what that sack of shit Mourinho does in front of the cameras every single week.
Think fellatio, now think of auto (ie self causing) now think of mourihno.
Sorry, only fabregas should have to witness that.
Autofellainio. Think about THAT.
Aaaarrrggg
Haunts me still to this day… Amazing!
Among the stupidest moves in football history. That and his raised hand to block a free kick against spurs..inside the penalty box.! yeah..may be he thought others can’t see that too!
Cesc is our FIFA
You mean like taking a penalty with a broken leg??
You’d think that Ozolra could see right through you and know if you were lying or not.
Now what would they see in John Terry or Jose Mourinho?
Mesunti or Sanut? Would be the first question. Then is he a Chrislam or a Muslian?
Does he come from Spamany or Germain
Mesunti Ozorla of Germain. The people have spoken.
I spoke for them, but that’s besides the point.
well played. I am so starved of any football related stories today, but the Arseblog comments are keeping me going!
Bet they don’t see my involuntary genital spasms every time they bless us with their brilliance.
I think it’s fair to say we have the most creative midfield in the league and although tissues are costing me a fortune, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
It would be an Özorla, no doubt about it.
Any version without the Umlauts is unacceptable.
The amazing thing about Cazorla is, he started as a No.10 and when Ozil came in, we all thought he’d lose his place. That’s when he impressed on the left hand side. Then Alexis came and we thought he’d get lesser playing time and he reinvented himself in a deeper position.
We all want a Vidal/Schneiderlin/Pogba now and what’s going to happen to Santi Cazorla? There’s every chance he could reinvent himself as a center back !!
He’s already played deeper than Kos’n’Mert in the cup final. You know you’ve got a special player when your 5’6″ playmaker is playing forward passes into your 6’6″ centreback’s feet.
We playing with libero then next year.
Wish I could thumb this up like a million times
Same to you Özil.
So glad the “rumours” of Cazorla leaving seem to have gone away. Wenger certainly has quite a conundrum in midfield next season, be fascinating to see what he does with Wilshere, Ramsey and Chamberlain. Exciting times!
Look who is talking:):)
If Ozil sees things that Cazorla couldn’t see and Cazorla sees things that Ozil can’t, can they still play together?????
Well it’s kind of a double negative so creates a positive hence the awesomeness we see between these two
Excellent!
What matters is the front 3 can see what Ozorla can see, I’m fine with it.
I actually think the first name would be Mesi.
I vote for Özila – you know, Godzilla, just shorter with bigger eyes
Since january there are a few other things that changed in the cohesion of the Arsenal team. Of course we know about le Coq and Kos coming back strong, Monreal taking the LB position and Ospina getting the benefits of a much more balanced team. But for me the real change was Özil moving into the no. 10 role and Santi taking on a deeper position. It’s scary to think about the potential of the team when AW decides to play with a proper RW and a striker with more pace. Yes I think we should keep Giroud but if… Read more »
Either Theo or Giroud in the striker role, to clarify my point. Could be an interesting combo to choose from against different style of defending against us
Finally. Someone who is thinking the same thing as me. Definitely like the possibly of Walcott and Giroud available to switch things up according to the opposition.
Watching them two in midfield is such a sweet Joy that can only be next to getting p*ssy!
Get a life man! I agree that pussy tops the list, but watching other people do things on TV (or at the stadium) should be way down the list below actually doing some stuff yourself, whatever it is.
Maybe he meant :”Watching them two in midfield is such a sweet Joy that can only be next to watching porn!” Oh wait, it’s the same damn thing.
You sir obviously haven’t seen much of our German Genius & Spanish Maestro have you
Dude, come on.
We have players who could see things others don’t. How about our forwards making runs when Ozil, cazorla can deliver passes to them. Who wouldn’t love that?
Arseblog: RamblingPete writes things others don’t.
The dance after Giroud’s goal at the Etihad. Dude’s a legend already
I see dead people…
He sees deadline people.
