1 - Confidence
Every coach who has worked with Ozil has described him as a "confidence player". He has been described as a player who just cannot perform without feeling completely at ease with his surroundings and having the full support of everyone around him.
With the uproar surrounding his international retirement, he doesn’t look at ease and it showed this World Cup. It will be difficult to predict his performances in the 2018-19 season.
The pressure will be high on Unai Emery to show results and a couple of sub-par performances from Ozil will result in his benching, reducing his confidence even more. If Ozil doesn’t play well this season, his value will reduce in the future.
