The German international moved to north London in the summer and it was a move that pleased Vogts, who felt he had an easy life at former Cologne.

?I am happy that Podolski has left Cologne,? Vogts said. ?He had too many friends in the city. He got praised as a great runner if he ever got back to defend three times in a game.

?He got an easy ride and he believed his own publicity. But now he has a coach at Arsenal in Arsene Wenger who will make him work hard in training as well as matches.

?If Podolski fails to train properly twice or three times he won?t get games. That is the way to develop him into a true professional.?

Since joining Arsenal, Podolski has scored three goals in seven games.
