Former Chelsea and Iceland striker, Eidur Gudjohnsen has slammed midfielder, Mesut Ozil after Arsenal’s 4-1 loss to Chelsea in the Europa League final on Wednesday night.
Goals from Olivier Giroud (1), Pedro (1) and Eden Hazard (2), ensured that Maurizio Sarri’s men defeated Arsenal.
Gudjohnsen said Ozil should be ’embarrassed’ of himself following his display in Arsenal’s defeat to the Blues in Baku.
The 40-year-old blamed the ex-Germany international of wanting a ‘standing ovation’ as he walked slowly off the field, after he was substituted in the second half of the match.
“The one thing is you tell me if you’re the manager of Arsenal… you’re 4-1 down in the final you take Ozil off and he’s walking at the slowest pace like he’s waiting for a standing ovation,” Gudjohnsen said on BT Sport.
“I’m sorry if that’s me i’d feel embarrassed, head down and I sprint off the pitch.
“He’s a wonderful player, tremendous quality but as a manager, I could never watch that in my team.”
