After his post, Ozil was taken out of China's version of the Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 video game, and the club's next game against Manchester City was removed from state broadcaster CCTV's schedule. China's foreign ministry spokesman said Ozil had been "deceived by fake news" before making his comments.
Ozil had fallen out of favour under previous manager Unai Emery before returning to the side under interim boss Freddie Ljungberg at the start of December 2019.
After Arteta's appointment as permanent manager later that month - the same in which Ozil made his original comments - the German started all 10 of the club's Premier League games before the coronavirus pandemic forced a three-month suspension in March, but he has not been seen in an Arsenal shirt subsequently.

一直很喜歡Ozil這位拼命三郞型的球員
我只知道他退出德國代表隊的原因
被遷怒的對象
2018⋯⋯😤
別提了
光看他們賽前和比利時踢的友誼賽
就讓我看到快崩潰了！！
那一點都不像我認識的德國隊啊 ）））
Ozil在五月與那個很有爭議的土耳其總統見面
先引發了國族爭議問題
再來才是去踢世界盃輸了（唉～～～內部已經被球迷的國族爭論搞到不合）
然後
才是賽後 Ozil退出國家隊
若是我
我會怪那個土耳其極有爭議的總統Erdogan造成一切，他只想著為他的總統選舉造勢而已
