Mesut Ozil felt nervous and happiness the moment he joined Arsenal, he has confirmed through an interview with the club’s website.
Ozil was signed by Arsene Wenger in 2013 amid much fanfare and expectations and the retired German said his nervousness was caused by the many people who were waiting for him before he hit the training ground for the first time.
“When I first arrived here I was very excited and a little bit nervous as well. It was always a new chapter and at the end of the day, I was very happy to play for such a big club like Arsenal and meet all my team-mates. When I first arrived at the training ground, outside there were so many people. They were waiting for me. It was very special and it was a very good moment for me. The feeling was amazing, even the first game at the Emirates was so special for me. All the fans supported me until now and I’m really grateful and appreciative of that.” he told the club website.
“If you win at the end of the season, you’re happy because you really have worked for that and you want to reach your goals. At the end of the day, we were happy with the team. It was special, not just for us, but for the fans as well. We keep trying to win trophies to make us and the fans happy.
“I just heard that the club hadn’t won this trophy [the Emirates FA Cup] for many years so it was very special for me and for my team because it was our first title. It was important to continue this work and as a player, you work for titles,” he explained.
In his six seasons at the Emirates, Ozil is yet to win the Premier League and the Champions League trophies.
