Ten years after he left the club, fans still have a different feeling when they remember him as a Madridista. Ozil feels proud of himself. Mark’s question was, if he got that time back, would Ozil want to stay at Real?
In response, the 2014 World Cup winning star said, ‘It felt right at the time. Because after the conflict between my father and Perez, I was skeptical that if I didn’t leave I might not get much of a chance to get on the field. So it’s hard to say. But of course, if I had that time back, I would have handled the situation in a different way.’
