Mesut Özil (32) is now speaking! Or rather: he tweets …
In a question-and-answer session, his followers were allowed to submit questions to him. The playmaker revealed the surprising information that he recently had contact with DFB President Fritz Keller (63).
Twitter user “Marcus Baker” asked: “The way you ended up with the national team, do you regret playing for Germany? Or do the memories of the World Cup in Brazil make you smile? “
Özil: “Of course I have wonderful memories of the national team. We won the World Cup in Brazil and were part of an era in German football. I would never say that I regret playing for Germany. Much has been said about my end. I don’t regret this decision either. “
Özil continues: “I am grateful to have recently received a very nice letter from DFB President Fritz Keller. He deals with all the incidents of the past. “
Since the Arsenal star’s resignation after the 2018 World Cup, there had been no official contact between the DFB and ex-player Özil.
However, many critical tweets and questions about change rumors went unanswered. Nevertheless, he spoke about the ex-club Schalke and the Turkish club Fenerbahce, with which Özil is associated.
“Why do you like Fenerbahce so much?”
Özil: “I grew up as a Fenerbahce fan in Germany. Every German-Turk supports a Turkish association when they grow up in Germany. Fenerbahce is something like Real Madrid for Spain for Turkey. It is the largest club in the country. “

He also wrote that he “definitely” wanted to continue his career after his time at Arsenal: “There are two countries I want to play in before I step down: Turkey and the USA. If I go to Turkey, then I could only switch to Fenerbahce. “
Another user question: “Can you switch to Schalke for the rest of the season? We would love it if you could help our team. “
Özil: “I don’t want to steal the show from Sead Kolasinac. But to be honest, that’s not an option for me right now. Even if I will always have sympathy for this club. I wish the club all the best from the bottom of my heart. “
“Do you miss Arsene Wenger?”
Özil: “Arsene Wenger is a very special trainer for me. He has won countless titles. But above all, he’s a great and sincere personality. I associate him with my greatest Arsenal successes. “
“What is your top Arsenal team that you played with at the club?”
Özil: „Ospina – Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Kolasinac – Cazorla, Ramsey – Serge Gnabry, Özil, Alexis Sanchez – Aubameyang.”
