Mesut Özil Archives: 08/2018

Toni Kroos has spoken out against Mesut Özil over his departure from the German national team, arguing most of the Arsenal star’s claims in his statement were nonsense.

In this edition of the Daily Cannon Arsenal podcast, Matthew and Paul dissect opening day defeat to City, the first competitive impression of our latest French teenager, and wonder what would be success for Arsenal in 2018/19.

Losing matches is just something you have to deal with in football, but defeat to Manchester City helped to give us some insight about who should play in Arsenal’s midfield trio.

Mesut Ozil spoke in June about why he doesn’t sing Germany’s national anthem before matches.

Contrary to how many people connected to the German national team have reacted to Mesut Ozil’s claims of institutional racism, players from the Turkish club Malatyaspor wore tshirts to show their support for the Arsenal man.

Arsenal are a bigger draw for supporters in Singapore than Atletico Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain, and generated a lot of good will in the country, according to reports in local media.

Thomas Muller claimed there’s no question of racism in sport or the German national team, when talking about Mesut Özil’s departure from international football.

Mesut Ozil has launched his own esports team that focuses on the FIFA series by EA Sports and he will be looking for players from around the world.

It may have taken over a month, but finally one of Özil’s Germany teammates has spoken out in his defence, and insisted the 29-year-old isn’t to blame for their poor tournament.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, has backed Mesut Ozil’s decision to retire from the German national team.

Bayern Munich’s CEO, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has blamed Mesut Ozil’s agent for fabricating claims of racism as he makes himself look and sound completely ridiculous.
