Shocking decision in Fenerbahçe… In the statement made by the yellow-dark blue club, it was announced that Mesut Özil, one of the team captains who were transferred from Arsenal and could not find the chance to play for a while, and Ozan Tufan, who returned from Watford at halftime, were excluded from the squad indefinitely.
Mesut Özil started the Konyaspor match in the starting 11, but was removed from the game by İsmail Kartal at the end of the first half. Mesut Özil, who could not reach the physical level after his injury, was separated from the team for a while.
Argued with İsmail Kartal
According to the information obtained by Sözcü; After the Konyaspor match, Mesut Özil reacted to his dismissal from the game and stated that he wanted to play in the first 11 in his meeting with the coach İsmail Kartal. Kartal, on the other hand, tells the star football player that he is not at the level of form to play in the 11th, and that he cannot fulfill this demand. After the discussion between the two, the decision of the board of directors was taken and Mesut Özil was excluded from the staff. Likewise, Ozan Tufan, who was questioned for his formlessness, is also excluded from the squad together with Özil.
The experienced player, who played in the Konyaspor match, which was won 2-1 for the last time in the league, was removed from the game in the second half due to his low tempo in the first half. After Konyaspor’s victory, the technical team of the yellow-dark blue team, which increased their chances of second place, discussed the issue of Mesut Özil once again, as they thought that the remaining weeks would be quite difficult.
This flash decision to leave the squad became a big topic on social media.
Mesut Özil, who played 37 matches with Fenerbahçe, scored 9 goals and made 3 assists. Ozan Tufan, who played in 182 matches, scored 21 goals and made 24 assists.
