Ozil has even posted a photograph in Instgaram, where he is seen as giving Erdogan a fan of Arsenal.

President DFB, Reinhard Greendel has talked about this issue: “The DFB has respect for our footballers who have come to Germany as immigrants, but football and the DFB itself represent values that Mr Erdogan does not respect”.

Therefore, it is not good for our representatives to allow themselves to be misused in electoral campaigns. This certainly has not helped them The DFB's in its bid for integration”, Greendel noted.

This meeting of two German national stars has not been well received even by the local media.
