The Mesut Ozil saga has gone out of hands after Bayern Munich President, Uli Hoeneß’s disgraceful comment towards the player. And now, the agent of Ozil has hit back at “foolish” comments from the President.
Ozil’s agent replied the Bayern President with some harsh words.
The 29-year old had removed himself from consideration for future duty with Die Mannschaft in the wake of the treatment received from the DFB. Ozil said,
“I am German when we win, but I am an immigrant when we lose”.
And declared that he is no longer prepared to shoulder the blame for the struggles of the national team. Just after Ozil’s retirement, the Bayern President said the midfielder had been playing s**t for years.
Ozil’s agent, Dr Sogut is understandably angry at the comments. He has taken the opportunity to offer a stinging response with a long statement.
“The comments of Mr Hoeness miss the point completely, as they have absolutely nothing to do with football. He is trying to divert attention away from the real issue. The issue of racism and discrimination in Germany, which is resurging once again within everyday German society.”
“He claims that Mesut has been a ‘ghost’ for years, but what ‘ghost’ wins all these awards and has this much success? Mesut created more chances in the 2018 World Cup per 90 minutes than any other player. But ofcourse he singles him out for criticism. As the president of Bayern Munich is it not best to focus on the performance of his own players seeing as eight of the Germany team play for the club.”
“If Mesut is such a bad player, what does this say about his opinion on Joachim Low, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho? These are three elite managers who praise Mesut as one of the best in his position. It is laughable that he thinks he is more qualified to judge footballing abilities than these people, with fabricated statistics.”
“Mr Hoeness, we will not waste any more time or energy talking about a subject clearly you know nothing about. Not only is he a disgrace to yourself, but also and more importantly a shame to German football and the people of Germany.”
Ozil made his international debut in 2009 and won 92 caps for Germany, netting 23 goals.
