The words that Kroos dedicated to Ozil when he resigned from the German national team caused him a conflict to such an extent that many fans described him as a “Nazi”.
Real Madrid player Toni Kroos confessed that many fans described him as a “Nazi” after criticizing Mesut Özil’s departure from the Germany national team in 2018, a situation that was not pleasant for him.
“After the 2018 World Cup I said I didn’t like Mesut Özil’s resignation, the way he did it, and then I went straight a Nazi for quite a few people. Blonde, blue eyes, everything fit for a lot of people, “were the words of the midfielder, during a talk with the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, under the theme of cyberbullying Kroos, champion with the combined German in Brazil 2014, he shared costumes with Özil on more than one occasion, however, he confessed at the time that many situations went awry.
“The way he resigned was not right. The part of his statement in which he refers to things that should not be alluded to was overshadowed by a lot of stupidity.“He said then.
And it is that in 2018, Özil put with the president of Turkey Recep Erdogan, this because of the dual nationality that has and has accused the German federation of not accepting the fact.
“I have two hearts: one German and one Turkish. I was born and educated in Germany. Why are there people who still don’t accept that I’m German,” Özil said two years ago.
Meanwhile, Kroos, who was called a “Nazi,” exposed that it is very easy to do so from the anonymity of social media, so he sought to create awareness in the face of cyberbullying.
“I managed to get over it,” he added. “Today, anyone can hide behind a fake profile to start insulting strangers without any hindrance,” he concluded.
