South Korea stunned Germany to the shock of whole world as the defending champions exit the World Cup miserably on Wednesday. The performance put on by the German’s in the World Cup was absolute disgrace as the defending champions exit World Cup finishing at the bottom of group F behind Sweden, Mexico and South Korea respectively.
Everyone are trying to come into terms with the early World Cup exit and so is Mesut Ozil. Mesut Ozil has returned home after Germany’s shock exit.
Mesut Ozil posted image with an emotional update on Instagram captioning, “Having to leave the World Cup already after the group stage hurts so much. We just weren’t good enough. I’ll need some time to get over it.”
Meanwhile, Germany Boss Low admits Arsenal star is one of a number of his players that under-performed in Russia.
“Because of a number of bans and injuries, we had to make changes,” said Low.
“In 2014 and 2017 that was also the case, it happens.
“A team only begins to gel later at the tournament, so it makes sense to bring some [players] in and let it go easy on them.
“It wasn’t only Ozil, a number of other players didn’t perform as they normally would. I take responsibility for that and stand up for that, but I thought it was a good team.
“I didn’t think Thomas Muller had been that convincing in the first two matches and I wanted to make a point there.
“Towards the finish when we realised we needed a goal we took a defender out late on and that meant we became less structured, but we couldn’t wait, we had to risk.
“We needed to throw things forward and it opened things up in defence.’
