Germany still hasn't recovered from the extremely painful World Cup. Four years ago, the Germans, who triumphed in the world championships in Russia, ended their performance already after the group stage.
Germany's national team fans spare no criticism for their players, especially Mesut Ozil. London's "Arsenal" midfielder was left in his own shadow, yet the criticism directed at him is not adequate, at least according to his father Mustafa.
"If I were in his place I would say, 'thank you, but that's enough.' He is disappointed and hurt. His own fans booed him even before the World Cup in Austria and he cannot understand why. He doesn't always need to defend himself. He played for the national team for nine years... He became a world champion.
It is always said that if we win, we win together, but if we lose, it's Ozil's fault.
He was booed and cast aside, like a scapegoat. I completely understand why he is hurt.
Mesut was an example for years. This situation is absurd. He loves Germany and showed his dedication to this country, which now treats him like a scapegoat. It is completely unfair," - the father of the German national team star didn't hide his indignation.
