[인터풋볼] Reporter Oh Jong-heon = Tottenham Hootspur’s coach Jose Mourinho responded by being embarrassed by Mesut Ozil (32, Arsenal) in the past.

Özil left Real Madrid in 2013 and wore an Arsenal uniform. In the 2015-16 season in the English Premier League (EPL), he showed outstanding performances by scoring 6 goals and 19 assists in 35 games, but his performance gradually declined due to physical conditions such as injury. Thus, as time passed, the position of Özil decreased.

Things are worse this season. Özil has already been unable to play for Arsenal since March. However, it has not been included in Arsenal’s recent EPL 25 list and Europa League list. When Özil encountered this, he also showed disappointment in his SNS.

Recently, there was news that Özil and Arsenal will end their companionship. Özil’s contract with Arsenal will expire this summer. It is known that DC United of the US Major League Soccer (MLS) is interested in Özil, but the most dominant destination is Turkey’s Fenerbahce. In fact, the transfer seems to have been confirmed.

Already in mid-December, Fenerbahce’s director Murat Jorlu said, “Ozil will join our team. It will be recruited within a month, and more than 90% is confirmed.” On the 6th (Korean time) of the UK’Mirror’, “Oezil agreed to transfer to Fenerbahce. The contract term will be three years.”

In this situation, the Q&A corner, where Özil communicates with fans through his SNS in the past, is drawing attention again. At the time, Özil, who was asked, “If I choose only one of the two, transfer to Tottenham vs. retirement?”, Özil said, “If I do not want to win, I will go to Tottenham.” He suggested that he would rather retire.

Head coach Mourinho recently received a question about this at a press conference ahead of the game against Fulham. A reporter who attended at the time asked, “What do you think Özil will retire when he is transferred to Tottenham?” and coach Mourinho briefly asked, “Who told him that Tottenham was interested in signing him?”

Coach Mourinho has been teaching Özil for about three years since 2010 when he was in Real Madrid. At that time, Özil was one of Mourinho’s key players, who won the Spanish Primera Liga in 2011-12 and the Copa del Rey in 2010-11.
