NORWICH defender Martin Olsson is praying he
won't have to face Mesut Ozil again today at
the Emirates.He's already suffered one hammering this week at
the hands of the £42.4m Arsenal midfielder and
doesn't fancy another.
Ozil, who faces a late fitness test on a knee injury,
was the star of the show as Germany cruised to an
emphatic 5-3 World Cup qualifying win in Sweden on
Tuesday night.
And shell-shocked Swedish left-back Olsson
admitted: "He is sheer class, a top operator.
"He scored one and set up another against us and
you could see his quality throughout the match.
"There are not a lot of players like him around. So it
will be very good for us if he doesn't play!"
But Olsson has happy memories of the Emirates and
has told his team-mates exactly how they can win
there.
He knows what he is talking about too because he
has already been there and done just that."There are not a lot of players like him
around. So it will be very good for us if he
doesn't play!"
Martin Olsson
Olsson was in the Blackburn side that pulled off a
shock 1-0 FA Cup win at Arsenal in February.
He explained: "It will be tough but you have to be
patient and take your chance when it comes.
"We sat back and defended against Arsenal because
you know they will always create chances.
"But you have to stay calm and then hopefully catch
them on the counter attack, just like we did."
The £2m summer signing is confident, though, that
the Canaries can also stun the Gunners."We have got the players to do well there," added
Olsson, 25.
"We just have to go there and play our own game.
We have to give 100 per cent and not worry too
much about Arsenal. It's football, anything can
happen.
"Everybody is full of confidence and we believe that
we can go there and cause an upset.
"We've got nothing to lose because everyone expects
Arsenal to win. But maybe we can change their
minds.
"I definitely think we have got enough match winners
and hopefully we can go there and show just that."
