Ozil na Giroud wanafurahi baada ya kuwanyuka Napoli 2-0
Mesut Ozil says scoring his first Arsenal goal in the 2-0 win against Napoli was his way of "thanking the fans".
The German playmaker opened his account for the Club when he superbly side-footed Aaron Ramsey's pass beyond Pepe Reina from the edge of the area after just eight minutes at Emirates Stadium.
Ozil's vision and guile were key components of Arsenal's
outstanding first-half display. The 24-year-old combined incisively with
the likes of Ramsey and Olivier Giroud and was proud of the team's performance.
"It's a really nice feeling - especially to score at home," Ozil told
Arsenal Player. "You could see that the fans really supported us up
until the last minute.
"What was important was that we won the game. Of course I'm pleased
to have scored, especially at home. It was my way of thanking the fans.
"Our aim is to play attractive and successful football. We did that
tonight and have taken another step. We knew that it would be a really
difficult win but we were deserved winners and we could have scored
more. I'm really proud of the team."
According to Opta, Ozil has provided more assists in the Champions
League than any other player in the last three years. He set up Giroud's
strike against Napoli and thanked his team-mates for helping him to
settle so quickly at Arsenal.
"Every player wants to score goals but everyone knows that I like
assisting goals too," Ozil said. "What's important for us is that we
take the next step forward as a team. We want to keep on developing.
