Unai Emery explains why he named the captain of Mesut Ozil Arsenal in a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain

Unai Emery handed Mesut Ozil the captain's armband for Arsenal's victory in the International Champions Cup against Paris Saint-Germain because he believes that the German can "take the responsibility".

The 29-year-old made his first start for the Gunners under Unai Emery this season on Saturday, and opened the scoring in his 5-1 demolition job of the League 1 giants.

Ozil was replaced the 64th minute, but has done enough to demonstrate that he is resuming Emery's style of play and responds well to the changes that the Spaniard has made.

Emery was invited to explain why he named Ozil his skipper – some may suggest a particular choice – immediately after the game.

He replied, "We are working together and give the responsibility to the player I think that he can take responsibility as a captain, but let's not forget [Laurent]] Koscielny because he's captain too. "

" Petr Cech and Aaron [Ramsey] played as captains in friendly matches, I think maybe one more player. "

On Ozil's 4-1-4-1 formation stance, he added: "We want to give him the best position where h

" We started today with Mohamed [Elneny] and Matteo [Guendouzi] and then they tried to find through the lines of players like Mesut and [Henrikh] Mkhitaryan.

"It depends, because Mesut can play on the right.We want to find with their quality, with their good positioning.I think we played well in the first half."
