Attending pre-Sunderland match press conference, Arsène Wenger stated:
“Ozil? At the moment you have to let him recover from that failed
penalty. I had examples before with people like Dennis Bergkamp, who
missed an important penalty in 1999 [against Manchester United] and
refused afterwards to take any.
Incidentally, he gets a statue on Saturday so it doesn't take a statue
away from you. Some other people don't mind [when they miss] and do it
again. It depends on how you feel and how much you want it.
Ozil apologized after the game but I don't think people are shocked by
the fact that he missed a penalty because Bayern missed one as well. He
takes his penalties in an unusual way so people are maybe a little bit
less [understanding] but everybody can miss penalties.
Ozil is a classy player and on a longer period class always tells. I
left him on because he's one of the few players who can go from far,
from distance, when you're down to 10 men. [He can go] a long way with
the ball into the opponents’ half".
