The ex-madridista Mesut Ozil he needs that Bayern Munich rise with the bundesliga -given the prospect that Borussia Dortmund won- and Schalke, whose quarry he came from and is now in the middle of fighting relegation, got a permanent. In an interview with the media of the Funke Group, asked if he wanted to break Bayern’s hegemony, he denied it, referring to his “blue roots”, the colors of Schalke whose bitter rival is the neighbor in the back- home of Borussia Dortmund. “No. I have to stay true to my blue roots,” Özil said.
Surprisingly, Bayern will play tomorrow against Schalke, which could help Dortmund win the title. Bayern are currently one point above Dortmund and if they prevail they will make it 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles. Schalke are in fifteenth position, two points above the direct relegation zone, after dropping to the bottom of the table.
“One feels like it was just yesterday when Schalke was playing in the Champions League and today the stay would be successful. It’s really wonderful how the boys have cleared the situation,” Özil said.
Özil started with Schalke’s first team in 2006 where he began his professional career that would take him to Werder Bremen, then to Real Madrid and later to other European teams such as London’s Arsenal. Of Turkish parents, Özil chose to play for Germany and was part of the world champion team in 2014.
