Mesut Ozil claims he is one of the world's best
but the Arsenal midfielder insists winning
trophies is more important than setting personal
records Mesut Ozil believes he is one of the best
assist-makers in the world but admits he does
not pay attention to his statistics for Arsenal .
The Germany international, who has 18 assists
this season, has four Premier League games
remaining to break Thierry Henry’s record of 20
in a single campaign.
Arsenal will end the season without a trophy for
the first time in three years and the midfielder
insists he is aiming for titles rather than any
personal records.
“I honestly don’t pay that much attention to the
numbers,” Ozil told Arsenal’s official magazine.
“You become aware of some things, like being
close to breaking the assist record, but I don’t
play the game to smash records. I know what I
can do and I know that I’m one of the best assist
makers in the world. But it’s all about titles for
me.
“If I have a great season but we don’t win
anything, what does it bring me?
“I just try to realise my potential in every game.
Of course sometimes that doesn’t happen but in
general, this season I’ve done that.”
