Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has slammed Mesut Ozil, claiming his 'image is a lot better than he is' at football. The 66-year-old believes that Unai Emery wrongly picked him as one of his five Arsenal captains along with Laurent Koscielny, Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka.
'I've been watching the player for a long time and he's a well-marketed product whose image is a lot better than he is, which is the only big blame for me.
'Had [Germany coach Joachim] Low gone to Arsenal more often in London and looked at him properly, he probably would not have taken him for sporting reasons.
'It is a miracle that he is now captain at Arsenal.'
Hoeness' latest comments came after Ozil was substituted by Emery against Stamford Bridge at Chelsea.
