The words that Kroos dedicated to Ozil when he resigned from the German national team provoked a conflict to such an extent that many fans described him as “Nazi”.
Toni Kroos, a Real Madrid player, confessed that many fans described him as “Nazi” after criticizing Mesut Özil’s departure from the German team in 2018, a situation he did not like.
“After the 2018 World Cup, I said I didn’t like Mesut Özil’s resignation, as he did, and then I was directly Nazi for quite a few people. Blonde, blue eyes, everything suits many people “, were the words of the midfielder, during a discussion with the German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, on the topic of cyber intimidation Kroos, champion with the German team in Brazil 2014, shared the wardrobe with Özil on several occasions; however, he confessed at the time that many situations were distorted.
“The way he resigned was not correct. The part of his statement that alluded to things that didn’t need to be alluded to was overshadowed by a lot of nonsense.He said then.
And in 2018, Özil posed with Turkish President Recep Erdogan, due to his dual nationality, and accused the German federation of not accepting this fact.
“I have two hearts: one German and one Turkish. I was born and raised in Germany. Why are there people who still do not accept that I am German “, said Özil two years ago.
Meanwhile, Kroos, who has been called a “Nazi”, said it was very easy to do so out of anonymity on social media, so he sought to raise awareness about cyber harassment.
“I managed to get over it,” he added. “Today, anyone can hide behind a false profile to insult foreigners without any impediment,” he concluded.
