It’s impossible to stop Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil: Jose Mourinho

Mesut Ozil and Jose Mourinho

Ahead of their Monday night clash with Arsenal, Jose Mourinho has claimed that Mesut Ozil is ‘simply unstoppable’.

Mourinho signed Mesut Ozil while at Real Madrid and worked well with the German as the pair won La Liga and the Portuguese believes the signing of Ozil has transformed Arsenal into a real force.

He has been key to the Gunners this season having played every game since his arrival from Madrid.

“I think I know how to try to stop him to be in the game, with 90 minutes of direct influence,” he said.

“But it’s impossible to stop him for 90 minutes, because these kind of players they will have always a moment or a couple of moments where you cannot stop them, and they end up showing why they are so good.

“To stop him completely, I don’t believe we can.

“He’s a phenomenal player. He’s one of those players that you buy and you complete the puzzle of your team.”

Mesut Ozil has created 36 chances this term, getting seven assists. No Arsenal player has created more chances than him.
