Ozil says he has settled very quickly at
Arsenal and loves the “challenge” of playing every two or three days in the
Premier League.
This has been the first time the
Germany international has had to do without a winter break, but he insists he
has enjoyed the intense festive period.
The 25-year-old missed two matches
between Christmas and New Year due to a shoulder problem, but says the fixture
schedule at this time remains appealing to him.
You play every two or three days and
for me it’s better to play more games than train because I love a challenge and
here that is perfect
“Of course it’s out of the ordinary because
I’ve always had a winter break in previous years,” he told Arsenal Player. “In
the Premier League, you play every few days - you don’t get a week to relax.
“I’m very pleased that I’m in this
league because you go from game to game very quickly. You play every two or
three days and for me it’s better to play more games than train because I love
a challenge and here that is perfect.
“I feel comfortable here. You can
see on the pitch when we play together that we have a very good understanding.
“The team is great and for me it’s
been very easy to settle - the German players here have helped me to establish
myself quicker than I perhaps would have done were they not here.
“But ultimately I feel pleased. The
people are very friendly and welcoming.”
