We were listening to the @arseblog this afternoon to check in on the situations of Koscielny, Guendouzi (who has done a lot of press in France recently) & Lacazette - but something ended up striking us regarding Emery's treatment of Özil & parallels with PSG. (1/4)
By the end of his tenure at PSG, Emery was reportedly a laughing stock in the dressing room - he succeeded in ruining captain Silva's confidence, Neymar no longer listened to him, Dani Alves was bemused by his treatment of Ben Arfa, Ben Arfa had an all out war with him... (2/4)
His position was untenable, in early 2018, despite winning the Ligue 1 title. His treatment of Özil seems to be a reaction to this, "cut off a limb to retain the body" in terms of retaining respect in the dressing room as he continues to struggle with language issues. (3/4)
Arsène Wenger = very public about the special treatment that Özil sought, regularly asking for time off & he obliged because it was the best way to make the German happy. When Neymar asked the same of Emery, the Spaniard was firm, but constantly rebuffed by higher-ups.
Now, Emery has an opportunity at Arsenal to stamp his authority on a dressing room by harshly dealing with an atypical player, potentially driven by mistakes in his previous job. Worth thinking about. (End)
For more context, details of the Emery x Ben Arfa feud in this thread from last year.
