Ozil reveals arsenal role model
A great piece of news for Arsenal fans!
According to a recent interview, Mesut Ozil has revealed that his role model at Arsenal was none other than Thierry Henry. Ozil, who played for Arsenal from 2013 to 2021, has often spoken about the admiration he has for the French legend, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in Arsenal's history.
In an interview with German newspaper BILD, Ozil said: "Thierry Henry was my role model at Arsenal. I tried to learn from him, to play like him. He was an incredible player, and I was lucky to play with him for a few years."
Ozil also praised Henry's work ethic, saying: "He was always the first one to train and the last one to leave the pitch. He was a true professional, and I tried to follow his example."
Henry, who played for Arsenal from 1999 to 2007 and again from 2012 to 2014, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in Arsenal's history. He won two Premier League titles, three FA Cups, and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup with the club, and is the club's all-time leading scorer with 228 goals.
Ozil, who played for Arsenal for eight seasons, won three FA Cups and the Community Shield with the club, and is the club's all-time leading assist provider with 192 assists.
It's great to see Ozil paying tribute to his role model, and it's a testament to Henry's enduring legacy at the club.
