“With a heavy heart and after much deliberation, in connection with the recent events, I decided not to play for the German national team. I wore the shirt with pride and joy, but now it is not.

I found it very difficult to make this decision. I always did her best for the sake of his teammates, coaches and people of Germany.

But when high-ranking officials of the German football Association respect to my Turkish roots, and drag me into a political propaganda, I do not like it,” wrote Ozil on his page on “Twitter”.
