How Arsene Wenger helped me at Arsenal , Ozil

Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has showered praise on his former boss Arsene Wenger for helping him at the club while he was in charge.

Wenger said goodbye to the Emirates Stadium after a 22 years reign at the club and was immediately replaced by Spanish manager Unai Emery who has hit the ground running with lots of improvements already seen in the team.

German international Mesut Ozil is one of those who have benefitted from the training and style of the former Paris Saint Germain boss but he feels he is still indebted to the former French boss.

Ozil said he was protected by the former boss and he was supported even when it was rough and difficult for him.
