Arsenal midfielder Ozil still getting over World Cup glory

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil says he's still adjusting from his World Cup excursions.

The midfield superstar who joined Arsenal for a club record £42.5million a year ago has struggled to come to terms with the success in Brazil.

"You don't really take it in at first, even in the days after," Ozil said.

"As children, the whole team dreamed of that moment.

"You want to win the biggest tournament in the world and when you have the opportunity to do that, everything must fit.

"That's happened with us in the summer.

"When I had the trophy in my hands there were lots of emotions because you develop and work for four years - first to qualify and then to be at the tournament. But to win it was incredible."
