"When I win I'm German, when I lose I'm Turkish."
He was hated even more by turkish german people when he scored against Turkey. The entire stadium booed at him.
@@Saver4what ?
@lexkanyima2195 There was a game, I don't remember if it was a tournament or friendship game, but it was in Germany vs turkey and Ozil scored against turkey. The entire stadium booed at him (mostly Turkish people were there). Turkish German people insulted him in the worst way after.
This Mofo is a friend of turkish facists. So why die He even played for Germany when he is Erdogan's Dog?
When he wins he is a turkish nationalist that should play for the country he glorifies. When he loses he is a turkish nationalist that should play for the country glorifies. Seriously, even though much of the hate also came from German racists, him not singing the anthem and worshipping Erdogan would never fly in Turkey if it was reversed but people like to pretend he was a good guy because worse people hated him for the wrong reason
His quote "when I win I'm German, when I lose I'm Turkish" is really true because he remembered his Turkishness after 2017. I'm not justifying what Germans did to him, he wasn't the reason Germany was knocked out in 2018 World Cup. But he never cared about us, he was the "German Özil" when winning World Cup, playing in Real Madrid and Arsenal. Suddenly, he became "Turkish Mesut", playing in Turkish clubs and sharing nationalist stories. I was never angry nor offended when he played for Germans (and even scored against us), but he's opportunist guy trying to follow the trends. He is the embodiment of German Turks only coming here for vacations but brag about everything is perfect and people living there should be grateful. If he is embraced by Germans again, I know he will ditch what he is doing now. Because he is Turkish, when he lose.
I would agree that this is a big part of it.
I will never demand that people forget where their families come from, or cut ties or anything. Remembering your own or your families past is important. And I highly doubt it is easy to do so, I see it in my own familiy who is polish on my fathers side generations ago that alot of that was lost over the years.
If you do decide to play for a nation, it is only normal that the people expect you to give it your all for said nation if you are on the field. And I am talking about EVERY player - an issue germany had the last few years where it seemed alot of players don't really care enough to put in real effort. And granted, Özil always had issues with that, not only when playing for germany.
But as far as I've seen his nationality or backround was never mentioned, only his lack of effort in itself.
His actions after that were what made him look bad in the eyes of many people. Not only his close ties to Erdugan, but how he reacted. Obviously people wanted to know where he stood and he first didn't say anything, and later it seemed through actions that he admitted to never care about Germany in the first place. A land that gave him opportunity, who was instrumental for his career. It is not hard to understand why people really didn't like that.
Just in general people tend to like someone being thankful and humble - in the end he was the exact opposite.
I think the actions of the national team were fine. You can ask your player for a statement. The actions of arsenal to me are also fine, to distance from his personal political agenda and post (he can have that opinion, but don't expect a football team to stand behind it, especially if it is an english one), but it seems like he expected both to help him as if he is a kid that is not responsible for his own actions.
He sure was a great player in skill, even with his lack of effort at times. But the main reason why people remember other players from the 2014 national team more are those factors around the play on the field. And I think this has little to do with racism in the sense that they don't have him for having turkish roots, but dislike him for his own actions and seemingly disrespect for the country.
No one should ever be blamed for trying to live without racism. He discovered in a fascist country like Germany - that supports genocides to this day, at this moment - that it wasn’t possible. Not his fault.
@@Rakshiir Your comment is racist. Body language policing. Özil was regularly the top runner on all his teams in every game. He once ran 15km and made 31 sprints, assisted a goal, and was criticized for “looking” lacklustre. That is pure racism. He doesn’t have the white supremacist “air” of a far lazier Toni Kroos. Too bad for all the racist Germans. Suck it.
@@SuperStella1111 Yeah, we have so many people with migration backround in our country that got normal education for their jobs because the whole country is super racist and fascist.
That argument really doesn't make much sense. If the country or the majority would be racist, people like that would not even get a chance to get in those positions in the first place.
@@Rakshiir Well, considering Germany's stance on the whole Israel vs Palestine conflict, however, it's not wrong to say that Germany currently actually DOES support a genocide. That's probably what the post was getting at overall. Racism comes in many flavors, and not all of it is immediately visible within one's own borders.
He's just a disappointment. Just because the wrong people in Germany criticized him too doesn't mean he didn't do nothing wrong. No country would accept someone who has clearly loyalty to another country over the one he plays for in their national team, compare him to people like Emre Can / Gündogan and you see the problem. No one forced him to play for Germany, it was his decision yet he felt like praising Erdogan who was talking shit about Germany at the time, never sang the anthem and since then turned into a turkish nationalist / right wing extremist. Funny thing is, turkish fans hated him too when he played for Germany
Real
if anything it was Germany which was and still is talking shit about Erdogan lmfao
No shot you think Germany has ever been right in history lol.
@@vento5314 So in your opinion we are always the bad guy. Damn.
@@Souru_TV If you believe Ozil's choices deserved this type of response from Germany then yes.
It's give and take not only take take take.
I am german and I can pretty much confirm that nobody hates this guy. Nobody talks about him either. Its been like ages since Germany won the world cup in 2014. Without ozil they wouldn't have won it even.
Nobody hates him but he is just forgotten. Some germans just wanted to cause drama because Ozil is Turkish. trust me when I say Germans may seem friendly to Foreigners but deep down they judge you.
Good take.
Bro wenn du ein englisches publikum mit deinen videos ansprechen willst, solltest du bei deutscheb clips vtl auch englische untertitel einblenden…
I'm Arsenal fan, but also an immigrant and I have nothing but love and respect for Ozil. he got ostracized because he said the truth (about Uyghurs and the money in Arsenal) He's a free man and can take pictures with whoever he wants, even if I cant stand this person (frankly better Erdogan than Johnson)
@@RomaInvicta202 Who the F thinks "Dogu Turkestan" is the HOMELAND of all the Arab Turks?
Did he show the "wolf-salute" at 14:37?
The "Bozkurt işareti" is a hand symbol used to symbolize Pan-Turkism and Turkish nationalism.
Living in Germany most Germans here knew where his loyalties really were.
no its not. Dose that look like a wolf at all? its like this 🤘but you don’t fold the 3 fingers you pinch em forward like a italian. Its supossed to resemble a wilf
@@saba_350 It's well known that Özil has tattoos with symbols of the right-wing extremist "Grey Wolves" on his chest.
@@mikefraser4513 ik but its still not the hand sing youcthink it is. İt something else. idk what it is but ist not wolf salute and the wolf salute is not something political.
not even remotely close lmfao. He’s just throwing up an M sign
He did not use his middle finger so no
What happened with Özil is a really sad story. While he was a role model for successful integration at a time, there were always racist remarks made towards him throughout his career. I still think most Germans liked him until the foto with Erdogan and his reaction towards the criticism. I think outside of German not many people know how much Erdogan was hated by everyone in Germany at that point, mostly for constantly criticising Germany, our politicians and holding us for ransom in political deals. It also didn't help, that he never sang the national anthem and played like he was bored sometimes. I think if he had made the same statement as Gündogan, who is way more popular in Germany now, he wouldn't be in such big trouble, but of couse Özil is a personal friend of Erdogan and a Turkish nationalist, so he really wanted to support Erdogan. I think for a lot of Germans this was the confirmation they needed that Özil had never actually cared about Germany in the first place. Which is sad, that those doubts were there, don't get me wrong, but Özil didn't just not try to put them out, he actively seemed to stoke those fears at the time.
The photo was an excuse. Turkey is Germshy’s valuable NATO ally. Merkel introduced them - there’s a PHOTO.
Don’t make excuses for racist Germans.
Which photo with Erdogan? The one Merkel made him pose for in 2010? The one from 2012 - which led to the minister for culture calling Mesut a “top diplomatic asset”?
Germans are racists, literally supporting a genocide at this moment. Hush hush. The 2018 picture mattered because it was fashionable to be racist against him that year.
This is a good video. Lots of memories.
It's his attitude and political views that suck. And if he was so worried about not being treated like a German, he should have played for Turkey instead.
Erdoğan campaigned intensively for peace when the conflict between Ukraine and Russia began. You can research what kind of lies and smear campaign the Germans had at that time. Erdogan speaks out for the victims in the Middle East. Olaf Scholz supports the catastrophe and wants to have all Germans who are for peace arrested. You German double-moral hypocrites, we all know that Özil suffered from your attacks of racism
He expected to be treated as a German. Because he is one. His autobiography makes all this clear. That Germans are racist isn’t his problem to solve.
Who gives a shit if Germans hate him or not you can’t take away his brilliance in football. Germans should appreciate what he did for his contributions in World Cup 2014.
Özil encountered the same problem many other people with immigrant background encountered. They grew up in a Germany with good quality of life and an open society but they end up facing the new norms of political correctness and values that conflict with their culture.
In my opinion the german football federation is too deep into politics, it's his personal free choice who to support, no matter if he is a star or not. He won a world cup for Germany and they spit him in the face basically.
Im German. And I don't hate him! I love him!
Same, same and same!
Bro if your gonna make a photo like that you have to be aware that thats gonna make people mad its just not ok to do smth like that while playing for Germany
How was he supposed to know that when the first known photograph of Mesut with Erdogan featured a beaming Angela Merkel. Right or wrong, the reaction was pure racism. An excuse for a famously racist public to get their racism going.
The dude made a foto with Erdogan and everyone hated him for that. He feels bad -> leaves Germany. Well done by some newspapers. Oh yeah, on that foto was also the current captain of Germany, Gündogan. He did not get that bad press because he was not that relevant back then. Also Özil took it a bit too personal.
If the press wouldn’t have been constantly that hard on him this would have never happened.
@@zohzu The difference is that Gundogan distanced himself from Erdogan after the picture was published while Özil didn't do it.
@@alexandracruz5243 no one has any right to ask him to distance himself. Gundogan behaved like a meek little boy. And racist Germans lapped it up.
@@SuperStella1111 When a player is wearing the uniform of the national team, they represent that country and should not join one of their enemies, a President that even locked in German citizens in his country. In that case, he should have chosen Turkey instead. Of course, you don't have better arguments that calling meek little boy to Gundogan and playing the racist card. Gundogan is a man of respect, something that Özil isn't never going to be.
He was a really good player and scored some bangers + toyed with defenders
REAL Ozil with CR7 and Benz are a deadly team. Especially that Mou counter attack record breaking team. He could move so fast and spread pin point deadly passes to finish off the opponent.
Bro he is Not the Most hated Player in Germany
The best playmaker I've ever seen with my eyes.
Nah he was good for some few seasons, he chose Germany over turkey but still will Suck on ergodan daaak and say things he should not on tv, as a professional and watch by million over the world, he should have been careful with his political views
He was right about quitting and the unjust harassment he got. As a German it was just kind of disappointing to see he identifies with the grey Wolfes now…
He's a fascist, it's good that people call him out
He doesn’t.
@@SuperStella1111 Then why does he post himself doing the wolf salute on his socials?
@@janekmundt579 it’s an M you fool.
We don't need to accept fascists
Germans are fascists.
Germans are natural fascists - as history indisputably shows - so that must be difficult.
I am not sure if he hs "the most hated player" or anything.
He did earn alot of criticism with some actions at the end of his career, and I can understand why.
If you play for a nation, people expect you to stand for the nation and represent it. If they find out that you turn against it, alot of questions tend to pop up in their heads like:
Did he only play for our nation because he was able to win titles with it?
How ungrateful can you be, when a land gives you so many opportunities and you act in this way?
Not something many people like.
He certainly was a good player, I would say he sometimes seemed "not invested" to work on the field, which I personally dislike. I know other creative players are similar but I still don't really like it. Besides that, as mentioned, I get why his actions created those negative reactions in the end.
Some players I think have more of a legacy after ending their career because of that.
he isnt the most hated player i ngermany, just the dfb hates him, but the german football fans wanted him back/ love him
@@Rakshiir
Özil is not hated, definitely.
l honestly though wouldn't know of any player in Germany that would be disliked more than Özil, even if Özil isn't really generally disliked.
Maybe "most hated" is wrong. Better to say "most disliked".
He never sang the German hymne during the games, therefore, he was never loyal to Germany. He only chose Germany because he knew that he had more chances of success with them than with Turkey. It's a shame that he got an integration price. I know people that are better integrated and more loyal to Germany than him.
The hymn is stupid.
Blonde, blue-eyed players don't always do that either, but you Nazis don't care about that
After Germany supporting a genocide in Gazah, you know.. foreigners dont feel respected at all. You are a scary lot
Now this spain guy with longhair 😁😁😁
11:44 should've subtitled that :D
Mesut Ozil has announced his departure from the German national team.
Like thousands of children of inmigrant parents Ozil had to suffer rejection, discrimination and sometimes racism. He made a big mistake by appearing with Erdogan, after that the German press made his life hell. In a way I sympathise with him.
ist das dein 2t account oder warum englisch?
someone know the beat at 1:22 ?
why did he take that picture with erdogan in the first place?
What a dumb question is that?
Why is it a problem to take a picture with Erdogan???
He was born and raised in Germany but he originally from turkey and he is proud of his that.
Germany is ungrateful as expected, they loved him when he was a main part for them winning the world cup but if you struggle a little bit they won't tolerate and respect you.
@@umaralhabashi3066The trouble started before the tournament, because he called Erdogan "my president" which implies that you're not German at all. There's absolutely no problem with being proud of your turkish origins. Gundogan said this as well. But he also said that he's proud to play for Germany too. Ozil never did, in fact he said he could never sing the German anthem. When he couldn't identify with Germany at all why didn't he play for Turkey in the first place? THAT would have been a patriotic act, even when it could mean that you're not that successful at European or World Championships. I think Gundogan chose the better way.
@@umaralhabashi3066 it was taken after erdogan imprisoned many journalists and political opponents. it was a huge deal in germany as many germans are from turkey. Most were in shock about erdogans actions, then özil posted the photo
@@umaralhabashi3066Erdogan is just not the kinda person to take a picture with
@@whoisyou4049 Erdogan's policies during the course of his political career have been highly controversial and diplomatic relations with a number of countries - including Ozil's native Germany - have been fraught.
In 2011, for example, he was rebuked by German politicians for criticising the central European country's immigration policies and stating that the children of Turkish immigrants born in Germany should learn Turkish before they learn German.
The shirt given by Gündoğan, who holds German and Turkish passports, bore the message: “To my president, with my respects.”
The pictures amounted to a PR coup for the despot Erdoğan, who was seeking to extend his 15-year rule in a snap poll on 24 June but was banned from holding election campaign rallies on German soil.
Most hated player by the dfb*
All german footbal lfans love him, but the dfb doesnt
There's still plenty of German fans that have either never forgiven him, or always hated him outright. I still remember shitty remarks like my old man constantly calling him a frog eye who should go back to Turkey even way before the whole Erdogan thing happened.
@@segafreak2000 yes, we know racist Germans exist.
@@segafreak2000racists gonna racist
@@segafreak2000 he's just a racist
Özil showed us that Turks will never be accepted in German society. 2/3-3/4 of the turkish population in Germany are traditionalists (in favor of erdogan) and the treatment of özil from Germany was a stab in the back. Since then i was always against Germany in football games, not because i hate them more because they hate us.
I hope that musiala and many other football players that arent Full ethnic germans wont get the same treatment as özil but if we are being realistic, it wont be any different.
Ozil was a great player but like many other ballers never lived up to his full potential. I think the move to aresnal is what caused all of this.
Tbh I don’t think those players will ever get preferential treatment in Germany. Especially nowadays with players like sane playing horrid every chance he gets, it just shows to some people that believe in this notion that foreign/mixed ethnic players won’t give as much as ethnic players.
Germany is very unique in how they play football, they don’t rely on talent to win them games like France or England so ofc when you have such a relative change in the different cultural composition in the team it will be affected. The national team is going through a transitionary period that will either make or brake it
Title is click bait. I only know people who see ozil as a legend and i'm German. No1 has anything against him lol
I am German too and while he is definitely rather liked and seen as a World Cup and Real legend, he also has gotten lots of hate, ofc primarily online, and is not that cleanly liked in the politically bizarre regions of Germany in the east.
His Erdogan picture was not that big of a deal as it's made to seem here. I mean Gündogan was also in the picture and (almost) nobody dislikes him. It was however the start of Özil let's say "critical" statement about his ethnicity.
His statement wasn't well liked (basically said "sry not sry, I don't support Erdogan, ur racist") and it didn't help that he continued to invite Erdogan to his wedding a while after that. You also have to remember that this was the phase where "50% of German-Turks vote for Erdogan" was big in the headlines, further amplifying the situation. Erdogan in general was at the time the most polarizing, "bad" person since Osama even with Putin invading Crimea.
When the national team started to show signs of failing the hate wasn't as big as it was made to seem, but when Özil then chose not to sing the German anthem and further doubled down the Özil hate found it's 2nd zenith and you then didn't only have a few idiots hating on him, but again broader media criticizing him like with the Erdogan photo.
The difference was that this was the 2nd time this has happened and between the first time and the 2nd time, Özil did not show any signs of "learning from his mistakes". In fact this repeated itself after this controversy and he distanced himself acutely from Germany and his German side.
You may be a bit young to know how the landscape in the media was during the mid 2010s, but Özil was heavily criticized for his actions and yes, there has also been quite a big of hate, ofc primarily from the more right-wing people (or extremist, I honestly don't know if the AfD was already deep into the radical right at that time).
Yeah I'm German too and this guy is bullshitting. Probably Özil fanboy 😅
@@kw____ the German press disliked it too that his comment was in English. He was addressing his hundreds of millions of foreign fans. He didn’t give a fuck about Germans and why should he? The fans were so racist that year. Too bad.
@@kril859 i see no1 who asked lol
@@kw____ to see any German singing the anthem is distasteful.
Mesut ❤Özil was a greatest player, shame on Germany
Joachim Low and Oliver Bierhoff took a flight to England just to make peace with him. But he didn't even show up. He was a brillant player, no doubt. But when you end up in trouble everywhere you go it might have to do with your own behavior.
the picture was taken after erdogan imprisoned many journalists and political opponents. it was a huge deal in germany as many germans are from turkey. Most were in shock about erdogans actions, then özil posted the photo. shame on erdogan and özil

Özil was never loyal to Germany because he never sang the German hymne in the games. It's a shame that he got a price for well-integration. I know foreigners living in Germany that are better integrated than him.
@alexandracruz5243 what is a hymne? Are players supposed to sing or play football?
I don't know if you ever noticed but Spanish players never ever singing the anthem? But are world cup and euro cup winners.
Ozil is one of the best German player of all time and nothing can change that.
@@ErichSermon If you are a player representing a country, the least that you should do is singing the German hymne together with your teammates. Özil was one of the few players that never was singing, what is totally disrespectful.
Thank God we had a team in the Euro 2024 where all players were singing the hymne and identy with Germany.
The hymne of Spain does not have a text and that's why the players do not sing. But I'm sure they all would do if there was a text.
@@alexandracruz5243 so the answer is that all of the Spanish players are not singing and it is totally fine.
Than when you maybe watch other sport than football, you will realise that many players playing handball, basketball, hockey etc are nit singing through national anthem. I understand that you don't give a damn about that because you are just another racist in picking just ozil for doing this. But even in the German national team there are always some players nit singing, but you choose only ozil.
Last question from my side do you think a football player should sing better or play better football?
@@ErichSermon You can't sing a hymne without text 🤣
Of course, you have to play the racist card against me without knowing me. By the way, I wrote in my last comment that I like the new team that identifies with Germany that includes players like Gundogan, Rüdiger, Can and others with foreigner parents. I'm not racist, I just don't want opportunist and disloyal players representing my new home Germany. Although I wasn't born here, I love this country. if you want to play the racist card, better do it with your dear Özil that is now known for supporting the Turkish extreme right with wolves symbols.
