Mesut Ozil fracasse Arsenal

Il semblerait que l’on ne revoit plus Mesut Ozil de si tôt, le joueur le mieux payé de l’histoire d’Arsenal (avec un salaire de près de 1,5 millions d’euros par mois) n’a pas été inclus dans l’effectif qui va jouer la saison de Premier League 2020/2021, ni en Europa League.

A la suite de cette annonce, le joueur a déclaré sur Instagram être « triste » par ce choix du club. Son contrat se termine à la fin de la saison mais il promet qu’il ne se terminera pas aussi mal qu’il s’annonce.

« En prolongeant en 2018, j’ai prêté allégeance et loyauté au club que j’aime, et cela me rend triste de voir que ce n’est pas réciproque. Comme je viens de le voir, la loyauté est une qualité difficile à trouver de nos jours. »

This is a difficult message to write to the @Arsenal fans that I’ve played for over the past few years. I’m really deeply disappointed by the fact that I have not been registered for the @premierleague season for the time being. Upon signing my new contract in 2018, I pledged my loyalty and allegiance to the club that I love, Arsenal, and it saddens me that this has not been reciprocated. As I have just found out, loyalty is hard to come by nowadays. I've always tried to remain positive from week to week that there's maybe a chance to get back in the squad soon again. That's why I kept silent so far. Before the Coronavirus break I was really happy with the development under our new coach Mikel Arteta – we've been on a positive way and I would say my performances were on a really good level. But then things changed, again, and I was not longer allowed to play football for Arsenal. What else can I say? London still feels like home, I still have many good friends in this team, and I still feel a strong connection with the fans of this club. No matter what, I will keep fighting for my chance and not let my 8th season at Arsenal end like this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I can promise you that this hard decision won't change anything in my mindset – I will continue to train as best as I can and wherever possible use my voice against inhumanity and for justice. #M1Ö #YaGunnersYa
