Mesut Ozil, who has been highly criticized on his Arsenal performances believes that the criticism comes from high expectations borne out of being "one of the best number 10s in the world".
Despite ending last season campaign as an FA cup winner, questions persist over whether he can impose himself in the Barclays Premier League.
Ozil told the Daily telegraph:
"The opinions of fans are important to me and I'm happy they have such high expectations of me. I have high expectations of myself. I'm one of the best players in the world in that number 10 position. Fans, coaches, players and everyone knows that my best position is playmaker. It's different playing on the left. When I was in Madrid, I often played on the right. I enjoyed that because I'm left-footed and I was able to cut inside to give assists and get shots on target. On the left, it's more difficult."
Arsenal boss defended Ozil on friday, likening him to a virtuoso musician and suggesting Ozil's easy way of play fuels perception of him as a lightweight.
