Mesut dealt with two fires today. Criticising criticisms in Germany, after his photo with Recep Tayip Erdogan, have now taken fresh momentum from the player's weak performance in the World.
In Turkey, however, he is also greeted with mixed feelings because he does not forget that he has never played for the country of origin, and that is why he has never been a favorite player there.
His continuation of the German football National is now being questioned.
The picture with Erdogan caused an avalanche of reactions, which even ãozili himself did not seem to have imagined. Yet, he has kept silent.
If you believe that you are being treated unjustly, it should have been protected”, experts quoted by “Deutsche Welle” say.
On the other hand, if the world of sports in Germany were to think that this picture was not compatible with integration, then they should have never let it play for the national team.
If ãozill had played a good soccer game, perhaps the incident would have been forgotten. But now, voices against him have taken sides again. This has raised the question: Is the integration of Turkish-rooted German athletes like ãozili really possible?
There is no easy response “, says Kenan Basaran of the newspaper “Hürriyet”. “Sportsmen, whose families have emigrated from Turkey to Germany, are in a major dilemma between the two countries”, he says.
“in Turkey, ⇩, was accused of not playing for Turkey. Now they blame him in Germany. You can't deny the cultural conflict these people experience.”
