FOCUS On Football! – Fenerbahce President Orders Mesut Ozil

Mesut Ozil has been told to put his commercial interests to one side and focus on his football, with Fenerbahce president Ali Koc having delivered a stern message to the midfielder.

The 33-year-old has been playing in Turkey since January 2021 following his decision to leave Arsenal, but things haven’t quite gone to plan for the former Real Madrid star since his exit from Emirates Stadium.

Indeed, Ozil, who has seen his game time limited in Istanbul, has made headlines for expressing his dissatisfaction at his situation at Fenerbahce, although Koc believes he needs to knuckle down and prove his worth to the team.

Koc told Fenerbahce TV when asked about Ozil:

“Since the start of this season, Mesut Ozil has been compared to Robin van Persie (in terms of his status at Fenerbahce).

“Ozil wants to play more. From now on, he needs to focus on his game and keep his commercial interests out of it. He needs to think about contributing to Fenerbahce.

“Our coach also needs to try to figure out how to get the most out of Ozil. There is not a problem, despite what the media says. Mesut is unhappy because he does not play regularly.”
