# Ozil – We can handle ‘crazy’ Olympiacos atmosphere

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil is confident his side have what it takes to handle the ‘crazy’ Olympiacos atmosphere and gain all three points on Wednesday evening.

The Gunners go into the final UEFA Champions League game in a precarious position knowing that only a 2-0 victory or a winning margin of one goal if they score at least three times will be enough.

Ozil [admitted that while it will be quite the challenge for Arsenal](https://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20151208/ozil-we-ll-handle-crazy-atmosphere), they are more than capable of beating their opponents and progressing to the round of 16 – a feat that they have achieved every season for the last 15 years under the managerial reigns of Arsene Wenger.

> *It will be very, very hard.*
>
> *Olympiacos can play good football and we saw that at the Emirates. They want to play on the counter-attack but we can’t concede goals like we did before again.*
>
> *The fans will be behind them and our goal has to be to beat them. I have played in Greece before. I know that there will be a very good atmosphere, the fans are crazy and they really support their team right through the full 90 minutes.*
>
> *We have to be focused on the game, we have to give a really good performance.*
>
> *It is possible to win there with two goals in our favour and that’s what we want to do. We have to really give everything so that we can achieve this and get through to the next round.*
