Viral on social media yesterday when one of the talented players of the Arsenal football team, Mesut Ozil, was reportedly not going to play for the team despite not suffering any injuries.
The midfielder, who has been with the Arsenal club since 2013, initially showed excellent performance in every match.
However, after learning that he will not be playing for his beloved team, he has expressed about how he feels at the moment through his official Facebook account.
According to him, he is very disappointed because he is not registered for the Premier League season at the moment. He once vowed to be loyal to the club he loved. Here is his full expression:
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 Premier League 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 in a positive way and I would say my performances were on a really good level.
But then things changed, again, and I was no longer allowed to play football for Arsenal. What else can I say? London still feels like home, I still have many good friends on 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 justice.
