Ozil refuses to take my calls

  • SOUNDBITE: (German) Jochim Low, Germany Coach

    "The player himself didn't call me (Low was contacted by Ozil's manager). It was normal in the past that when a player is resigning (from the national team) or having a problem, there were always very good talks: Mesut has chosen a different path, and didn't call me to this day.Although I have tried for the last two weeks to reach him several ways, through text messages and via the phone,I didn't manage to get him on the phone. I have to accept that he's chosen this way. I believe we (the German FA) have underestimated the situation with the photo's (Ozil with Tayip Erdogan, the Turkish president) and so have I."

    SOUNDBITE: (German) Jochim Low, Germany Coach

    "The second insight for me was,that when you want to win a tournament, you need a lot of enthusiasm,you have to fight with fire for it, and that fire has to grow bigger in every round. After we won the World Cup in 2014, and been at the top, we just didn't manage to find new key stimuli, to awake that fire into a new bigger flame then before with unbelievable enthusiasm, and with big passion, and more zest in duels. We failed to achieve in this tournament."
