Former English teacher Mesut Ozil revealed the Arsenal midfielder was very generous. The player, who recently announced his withdrawal from Germany national team, has been from adolescence happy to help people around him. Reporting from the Daily Mail, Christian Krabbe who is an English teacher of Ozil since he was young revealed the story of the player’s goodness.
“Mesut [Ozil] is a very humble person. He once paid a comparative study of his friends to London with his first salary at Schalke when he was 17 years old,” explained Krabbe as quoted by Daily Mail.
Ozil’s generous doesn’t stop there. He was even more generous when he joined Arsenal.
“He has funded a school trip [in Germany] to London since he joined Arsenal.”
“We have been to a Turkish restaurant at Golden Green, Mesut wrote a letter to each student and paid for everything,” Krabbe said.
Krabbe then defended Ozil’s choice to resign from Germany national team as his attitude to racist comments from various parties. Previously, many parties including the President of the German Football Federation (DFB) accused the Turkish-blooded player of being non-nationalist and the example of immigrants who did not have the will to integrate with other Germans after the case of a photo of him and Ilkay Guendogan along with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Racial-tone criticism and pout against Ozil and Guendogan grew more profusely when Der Panzer failed to round the big 32 of the 2018 World Cup. Ozil was considered to be the most responsible person for Germany’s ‘lazy game’ and many parties compared him to unlucky immigrants.
Krabbe also believes that the issue deliberately exhaled a number of parties who are very jealous of the success of the star who has become a world-class player.
Ozil himself once mentioned that there were often different treatments from the German public against immigrants who were successful and not in the German national team.
“People with a discriminatory background should not lead a soccer federation in the world that has players from families with two offspring.”
“Their attitude does not reflect the player representing the team at all. In the eyes of Grindel and his supporters, I was German when we won but I was an immigrant when we lost,” explained Ozil in an open letter uploaded on his Twitter account.
