Mesut Ozil retired from the German national team in 2018 and a lot has changed in three years – Loew is no longer the head coach of the national team, Grindel has long since ceased to be president of the German Football Association, and Ozil has not played a single official match in Germany since then – until Thursday night, when he scored a goal for Fenerbahce in Frankfurt. Here are some of his experiences that night, both on and off the field:
Pre-match situation
Kevin Trapp spoke of the 2014 world champions at a pre-match press conference on Wednesday night local time, "He's a football star, he's done a fantastic job, he played an important role in Germany's world cup winning. However, the fans in the stadium were not so polite, and when the DJ read Ozil's name and the image of Ozil appeared on the big screen, boos came and went.
The start of the competition
With the opening whistle blowing, Ozil began to become very active on the pitch, launching several threatening attacks for the away team, and finally took the opportunity to score a goal in the 9th minute, Fenerbahce 1:0!
The second half began
At the beginning of the second half, the fans' antipathy towards Ozil began to intensify, and several beer glasses flew in his direction and landed on the lawn not far away. Several aggressive Frankfurt fans shouted at him across the fence, venting their displeasure.
Early substitution
In the 76th minute, Ozil was replaced by Perkas, and the Fenerbahce fans cheered excitedly, but were still masked by the boos of the Frankfurt fans in the stadium. Unfortunately Fenerbahce did not hold the victory and the score was pulled to 1:1 in stoppage time.
Post-match summary
Ozil did not answer questions from reporters after the game. It wasn't until late at night that the 32-year-old former superstar commented on Frankfurt's performance on social media. "There's more possibilities for us, but it's still a key away scoring," the attacking player wrote, followed by an emoji with biceps and two hearts.
