In a lengthly program line discharged across social media, Ozil careful how he had been subjected to racism within the Teutonic Football Association and decided to relinquish aft the World Cup in Russia.

"In the eyes of Grindel and his supporters, I am German when we win, but I am an immigrant when we lose," Ozil penned in his statement back in July.

"This is because despite salaried taxes in Germany, donating facilities to German schools and victorious the World Cup with Germany in 2014, I am still non accepted into society. I am treated as being 'different'."

The release went onto cover numerous other issues, addressing the media and sponsors as well as the controversy surrounding his meeting with Turkish president Recep Erdogan.

Low reacted to Ozil's retirement

Ozil's announcement was met with a variety of reactions with some coming out in support for the Arsenal midfielder and others - most notably Uli Hoeness - expressing their disfavour.

Perhaps the most expected reaction came from Germany manager Joachim Low, however, upon the return of international football game in Sept.

He noted during a press conference: "Nowhere within my team during my time Hera, in that respect has been not tied as hint of racism. The player has not known as Maine. In the past that was the case when players retired.

What happened at Arsenal's training round

"Mesut decided happening a different path. I repeatedly tried reach him via content or phone but that was not possible. I have to bear that."

The comments received a intermingled reception and it was pure that Low wanted to touch Ozil about the decision, something that has become apparent this calendar week.

According to Bild, Low decided to visit Arsenal's education ground this week having been instant in London for FIFA's 'The Best' awards.

Atomic number 2 intended to speak with Ozil during the visit simply the former Germany player refused to do thusly, with his decision backed by Unai Emery.

The Arsenal coach personally refused access to Ozil to some Low and Oliver Bierhoff, despite plans being successful with the instrumentalist's camp.

Instead, the Germany boss had to settle for conversations with Per Mertesacker, Bernd Leno and Shkodran Mustafi.

Bierhoff told Bild after the gossip: "We would experience liked to talk to Mesut, only we have to accept that he doesn't want to address with us right instantly."

And so, information technology's clear that both Arsenal and Ozil still have zero intentions to speak with key figures in the European nation Football Tie about his decision to pension off from international football.

Ozil clearly wants to focus on his football with Armoury and leave alone nates what has been a distressing time in his career.

There's every reasonableness to suggest both Low and Bierhoff had good intentions, but hopefully they obedience Ozil's determination to incite on from the matter.

Atomic number 102 matter how the news is handled going forward, though, every party lav concord that racism has nobelium place in football nor wider society.
