Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal has defended Mesut Ozil against criticism about his attitude.
The 29-year-old has been criticised over the years for a perceived nonchalance on the field.
"People must understand that every player is completely different," Monreal said.
"He is like that [quiet] and 10 years ago he was the same. So you can't expect on the pitch that he starts to fight, to talk with the referee because he never did it. He is not going to change in this case.
"The important thing is he plays at his highest level, gives a lot of assists, scores a lot of goals and basically helps the team.
"That's what he knows. He doesn't know how to go up to a player and grab him by the throat."
