巴拉克猛烈抨擊厄齊爾 ：不如從前
|
The former Germany captain says that the playmaker is "not the same player" he was at Real Madrid and is worried about his performances heading into the World Cup Michael Ballack believes Mesut Ozil has regressed since moving to Arsenal from Real Madrid. Arsene Wenger broke the club's transfer record to sign Ozil for €50 million (￡42.5m) last summer, but the Germany international endured a difficult first season at the Emirates Stadium, despite scoring seven goals and providing 14 assists. The playmaker was criticised following a penalty miss during the Champions League quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich and struggled to recover his form, with Ballack claiming “he has not been the same player” since leaving Santiago Bernabeu. "It’s difficult to say where his head is going to be at the World Cup," he is quoted as saying by the Daily Star. "He has done well for Germany and he played well during the qualifying campaign but in the last few months - since his move to Arsenal - he has not been the same player, in terms of his confidence, that we used to see in the national team. "I don’t know whether the Arsenal move has affected him because he was untouchable and in Germany we still expect him to be one of our best players. "As one of our best players he has to take more responsibility, and we expect more from him at the moment. Hopefully, when the World Cup starts, we will see a different player.” Germany drew with Cameroon in an international friendly at the weekend, with Ozil deployed in the hole behind the striker, but the 25-year-old had a negligible impact on the game and Ballack admits he was “concerned” by the performance. "I saw him play for the national team at the weekend and I was not surprised, not scared, but a little bit concerned, by his performances," he added. |
前德國隊隊長邁克爾·巴拉克（Michael Ballack）表示，中場球員梅蘇特·厄齊爾（Mesut Ozil）比起當年在皇家馬德里（Real Madrid）的時候已“不如當年了”，同時，對于他在即將舉行世界杯上的表現也表示擔憂。 巴拉克認為，厄齊爾自從皇家馬德里轉入阿森納（Arsenal）之后，表現有所退步。 阿爾森·溫格(Arsene Wenger）2013年夏天以創該俱樂部記錄的5000萬歐元簽下厄齊爾。然而，德國的國際巨星在酋長球場（Emirates Stadium）的首個賽季雖然有7個進球，14個助攻的成績，總體而言仍舊處境艱難。 在與拜仁慕尼黑對決的冠軍聯賽四分之一決賽上，厄齊爾錯失一次點球，在場上力不從心，因此備受批評。巴拉克評論道，自從離開伯納烏球場，厄齊爾“已經不如當年”。 《每日星報》（the Daily Star）援引巴拉克的原話稱“厄齊爾在世界杯上何去何從還很難說?！?/p> “他過去在德國隊的表現很好，在世界杯預選賽上表現不錯，但是在最近的幾個月，自從他加入阿森納后已不如當年，我們看不到他在國家隊時候的那種自信了。” “由于與他沒有什么聯系，我不知道是不是加入阿森納的事情影響了他，而在德國隊里，我們仍舊認為他是我們最好的球員之一?！?/p> “作為我們的最好球員之一，厄齊爾需要承擔更多的責任。我們對他有更多的期待。希望世界杯開始后，我們能看到不一樣的他?！?/p> 北京時間6月2日，德國與喀麥隆的國際友誼賽上，厄齊爾被安排在中鋒后面的空位。然而，這位25歲的運動員在比賽中起到的作用可謂微乎其微，巴拉克承認自己對比賽的表現“很關心”。 “我在周末看到了他在國家隊的表現情況。我并不感到驚訝，或者害怕，我更關心他在場上的表現。”巴拉克還說道。
