Arsenal midfielder Ozil fires back at Germany teammate Boateng

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has had a pop at Germany teammate Jerome Boateng.

Boateng criticised his team-mates following their goalless draw with Poland on Thursday.

“There was not a lot of movement — it just wasn't enough," Boateng said after the Poland point. “We have to take shots. It's all good until we reach the final third, but we can't get past the opponents, are not dangerous. We need to improve that, otherwise we won't get far."

Ozil defended his fellow forwards by reminding Boating of his role in Joachim Low's team.

Ozil responded to the Bayern Munich ace's claims: “That's his opinion.

“He certainly knows how to play attacking football."
