"A resignation with millions of losers"

In German sports, the earth trembles. The withdrawal of Mesut Özil from the national team triggers a wave of outrage. The star of Arsenal is less criticized than the German Football Federation.

For an inexplicably long time, the midfielder was ironically silent, now he has highlighted the complete counter-attack. With his sharp words and serious racist claims, he literally sank DFB President Reinhard Grindel. The record of the debacle of the World Cup is completely off.

With his three statements on his Twitter channel, the 29-year-old made a descent Sunday in the country of the quadruple world champion. The debate triggered by a photo meeting with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan in May is ultimately a state affair – the scope of his explosive power is currently not predictable to the detriment of all those who are involved

if we lose "

In the second part of his controversial statement, Özil attacks several German media outlets. "They do not criticize my performance, they do not criticize the performance of the team, they only criticize my Turkish descent and my respect."

The conclusion of the spectacular trilogy includes allegations that will leave deep traces in the DFB. The head of the Grindel association will be the focus of attention. "I will no longer serve as a scapegoat for his incompetence and his inability to do his job properly" The professional footballer has shattered the former CDU politician. "In the eyes of Grindel and his helpers, I am German if we win, and an immigrant if we lose."

Grindel and Co. had used his image with Erdogan for "To express their previously racist tendencies, and it's dangerous for society" . As long as he felt "this feeling of racism and disrespect" he would no longer wear the shirt of the Federal Eagle.

The cells of the Sunday storms bring more than heavy rain and thunderclaps. They remain stationary at the DFB headquarters in Frankfurt. Like the flashes, Twitter embassies at the center of power followed – a conflagration is likely to follow, collateral damage is no longer avoidable

In front of a pile of ruins

Only four weeks after the 'blast'. monumental failure of the Football League preliminary round in front of a gigantic pile of shrapnel. While Jogi Löw has to do his best to bring the set back to the ideal tactical line, an irresistible contamination is going on in the closest DFB environment.

Everyone against everyone, ruthless settlements, defamation on all channels, insulting football nations still in the forefront threaten the phenomena of disintegration . Lots of them pour in hectoliters of accelerator. "I'm glad the ghost is over, he's been playing the land for years, and now he's hiding his shit behind this picture," laughed Bayern world champion Bayern Uli Hoeness in 2014.

Verspekuliert [19659008] The Munich Bundesliga instance is likely to have further speculated with their votes – the obsession only begins The horror weeks will be difficult for the DFB . Half of the German political establishment is now facing the shattered situation. It was an alarm signal when a great German footballer in his country no longer wanted because of racism and was not represented by the German Football Association, reported Minister of Justice Katarina Barley

"Football for Tolerance and Integration" – With such slogans, the largest sports federation in Germany has been advertising for years. Özil crumpled the banners of the DFB in one fell swoop. And former MP Grindel is overtaken by a verbal digression on his part. "Multicultural is in truth Kuddelmuddel" proclaimed the hardliner in December 2014.

Grindel himself now represents confusions. The "Spiegel" accuses the staggering official in an editorial of not having protected national actors in the wake of Erdogan's meeting of inappropriate critics. "The DFB should have committed to integration, and that would mean: we are all Germans, regardless of their origin or opinion, we win together, we lose together." [19659007] The field of losers

Only losers remain after the disaster of Özli. "The end of Mesut Özil in the German national team is the real defeat of this summer. This will have bitter consequences for football and society " categorized" Süddeutsche ". "A resignation with millions of losers."

The leadership of the association has long lost the power of interpretation, and the communications department was surprised by the pace of social media (not for the first time). She should do everything to work the Özils jump immediately. The millions of German-Turks await explanations, also in the chest of various international juniors are beating two hearts. Adolescents may have read Özil's statements accurately.
