Michael owen's latest take on football was his claim, that Raheem
Sterling was a better player than German World Cup winner Mesut Ozil.
Even after Ozil scored and starred against
Liverpool and after he was torn to pieces
by outspoken Arsenal fan Piers Morgan for his views (a rare occasion when I warmed to Piers), Owen has stuck by his claim.
As reported by the Daily Mail , the former
striker has gone even further by
suggesting that the gap between Sterling
and Ozil is so wide that we should not
even have to discuss which is better.
He said, “It seems my claim that Sterling
is a better player than Ozil made some
headlines today. Is there a debate? Not
even close.”
I’m sorry Michael but there certainly is a
debate to be had on this.maybe Arsenal fans think too much of Ozil as he
Is their player.
The German has had plenty
of critics since coming to the Premier
League so maybe there is something in
Owen’s argument, although it is hard to
pick at because he gives no explanation
for his views.
Is it because Sterling has scored more
goals? You would expect him to as he has been playing up front and that has never
been Ozil’s strong point. But although
Sterling has played twice as many BPL
games, his tally of six is only two more
than Ozil’s. And this ignores what Ozil
does for the team, linking up play, making
space, spotting and completing passes
that no one else would and generally lifting
the whole team up a level or two.
Paul Scholes admitted his mistake after
Ozil was instrumental in tearing United to
shreds at Old Trafford.
Owen said, “He’s better than Ozil, I think
he’s probably better than [Danny]
Welbeck.”
So definitely better than Ozil then but only
probably better than Welbeck?
Lol Arsrnal fans are going crazy on this, its trending on twitter and they are not happy with Owens wprda , but on a serious note whose better sterling or ozil.
