Mesut Ozil
has revealed he dreams of shaking off his professional discipline… and scoffing
junk food at the cinema.
And
Arsenal’s £42.5 million record buy said the pressures of his job reduce him to
watching TV documentaries alone at home.
Germany
midfielder Ozil has made 32 Gunners appearances this season, scoring 10
goals. He hopes to face Crystal Palace
at Selhurst Park on Monday.
The
28-year-old said: “I would love to do a lot more travelling on my own. Or go to
the cinema as I did before, and eat nachos and popcorn.
Just to
simply let things slide for a day.
“As a
footballer I find myself in some great cities. But I am mostly on a pitch, or I
have to spend my time in a hotel.
“When I was
with Real Madrid that was a big stage for me. But even there I was sitting at
home after training. I find myself alone a lot, watching soaps and travel or
animal documentaries.”
Ozil also
hit back at claims that he is arrogant and unfriendly.
The 84-cap
international told German magazine Focus: “There are certainly a few people who
think I am smug.
