The Arsenal star had his attitude called into
question by the Spanish club's president,
Florentino Perez, but wants to draw a line under
the spat after underlining his credentials
Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has defended his record
at Real Madrid after the Spanish club's president
questioned his mentality.
Florentino Perez claimed that the 24-year-old had
requested his deadline-day switch to the Premier
League as he "could not stand the pressure of Madrid".
However, the Germany international wants to draw a
line under the issue, stating that he was happy with his
contribution during his stay at Santiago Bernabeu.
"First of all, I had three wonderful years in Madrid, I
don't want to add anything on that. I am now at
Arsenal and very happy," Ozil told the press.
"If you see my figures [in Madrid] and how many
matches I played there, then you can also see my
professionalism. I don't want to say more about it."
Ozil has made a flying start to life at Arsenal, assisting
five goals in six games to help Arsene Wenger's men
move to the top of the Premier League and Champions
League Group F.
"For me, personally, the Premier League is the
strongest, it is well balanced. You have many top-class
clubs," the midfielder enthused.
"I think it's a nice experience to play abroad. You get to
learn a new culture and new language, you improve a
lot as a person. That's why I am happy to have another
new experience in England. I really think this league will
suit me well."
