Ozil Tells Saka To Manup After Racist Abuse

Ozil Tells Saka To Manup After Racist Abuse

Mesut Ozil has inormed his former Gunner teammate Bukayo Saka to stay strong after suffering racist abuse.

Saka among Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho were targeted for racist abuse for missing their spot kicks in the Euro 2020 final against Italy. 

And Ozil believes the pacey winger can overcome the frustrations and build for himself a good career. 

"I felt very much for Bukayo. I know from my own experience how it feels to miss a penalty.

"In a final, as the last one, to take on the responsibility of an entire nation as a young player - respect. Not many players would dare to do that.

"There will always be people who racially abuse and scapegoat people of different backgrounds and skin colour when they lose." 

"Bukayo is a modest young player. I have gotten to know him as a very determined young man who works very hard for his dream and does everything he can to achieve it.

"Bukayo is blessed with a talent that not many have. If he remains as humble and determined as he already is, I am 100 per cent convinced that he has a great future ahead of him and can become a great player." 

“Unfortunately, there will always be a small part of our community that racially insults and threatens players.

“We should focus much more on the positive messages that keep players strong.” 

Ozil played together with Saka at Arsenal for two seasons before the German switched to Fenerbahce. 

Saka was very influential in Mikel Arteta's squad last season as he made thirty-two appearances with 5 goal and three assists in the Premier League.
