Arsenal star Mesut Ozil is widely known as a world-class footballer. His passing skills and vision is no doubt “out of this world”. With Ozil on his day….except lots of magical moments on the field!
The talented playmaker of both Turkish and German origin is so good that when he’s not on the pitch,you can feel that missing element of the team.
Let’s go back to the days at Real Madrid. If there’s one midfielder football star Cristiano Ronaldo will always miss is “Mesut Ozil”. When Ozil left Los Blancos,several Real Madrid players were not happy. Cristiano himself was so angry about the move “He was the player who best knew my moves in front of goal”. According to Ozil,the bosses and coach lacked faith in him. Rumors during that time was that the player paid more attention to his girlfriends than his career as a Real Madrid footballer.
Upon joining English club Arsenal,former manager Arsene Wenger believed in his qualities and Ozil gave his best,becoming a favorite amongst Arsenal fans. All football strikers need a playmaker like “Mesut Ozil”.
At DFB, he was nicknamed the “german Messi”,given the No.10 role and led the national team to number of matches. Was a crucial contributor in the 2014 World Cup title.
But after the 2018 World Cup exit,Ozil received lots of criticism. He retired from International football months later after taking a photo with the President of Turkey,which caused serious unrest in Germany. Teammate Ikay Gundogan also posed with the President for a picture.
2019 became worse for the playmaker, he had a tough relationship with ex-Arsenal coach Unai Emery. Ozil was publicly outcasted from the club,with exit moves trending! No club was ready to buy him probably because of his high wages,most felt he’s “lazy on the pitch”. Ozil was also a victim alongside Arsenal teammate Sead Kolašinac of an attempted
carjacking by a pair of armed masked men.
At the ending stages of 2019,another unrest involving Mesut Ozil rose again. This time at China….Ozil commented via social media on the treatment of Uighur muslims in China,China hit back saying “Ozil was influenced by fake news”.
The EPL match featuring Manchester City vs Arsenal was removed from their TV schedule days later,PES 2020 also announced Ozil will be removed from the videogame version in China.
Despite all these,Ozil still shows his good qualities both on the pitch and off the pitch…..Ozil donates a lot to charity and has helped many people in serious need of surgery. On the pitch,he still produces touch of magic with the ball,near-impossible passes….the fans,his teammates and football world all know “what assist-king Mesut Ozil can do!”.
New gunners coach Mikel Arteta has vowed to help Ozil regain his best form.
