Even Mesut Ozil's Dog Can Tackle Him

Even Mesut Ozil's Dog Can Tackle Him

In his own back garden, as well...

Gary Neville last night claimed that Mesut Ozil is already fighting for his Arsenal career under Unai Emery after being hauled off in the 68th minute against Chelsea at the weekend.

"Mesut Ozil, he can't press from the front, so he's basically got to give him an opportunity, give him enough rope to see what he's going to do with it." Neville said on Sky Sports.

"The reality of it is he said to Mesut Ozil in the lead up to the second game you've got to work harder. That's the first time I've publicly heard anyone call Mesut Ozil out and that's after one game."


The question remains: should Arsenal drop the German playmaker in the coming games?

It comes after a disappointing World Cup campaign from the 29-year-old, who later retired from international football, citing 'racism' and 'disrespect' as the reason.

Of course, Ozil has the ability to help Emery's side flourish but people still have their doubts. Maybe the Gunners should recruit his pet dog, who shows a huge amount of potential in the below clip.


He's surely worth a punt, Unai?

If you enjoy a dog who can give Mesut Ozil a run for his money then meet Alfie, the four-year old crossbreed who has earned the nickname 'Ronaldog' for his incredible skills on a football pitch. No, seriously he can perform kick-ups with his head and everything.

As well as dribbling at speed and bouncing the ball off his body onto his head, he can also side-step a ball to confuse his opponent, according to the official DogsTrust website.

Alfie even has a list of skills he can perform, including nutmegging both humans and canines, as well as dribbling at speed, back heeling and diving headers.

Sign him up.
