Some of you guys... really
You are a German International player , a main starter... so your club buys a "Better-(Bale) " player ..most expensive one who will probably take your spot which you already were fighting for with two other players (Di Maria - Isco ) the later became instant fan favorite , moreover it's a new formation that won't allow you to be as effective as the old formation
As well your most important matter .... it's the World cup year.. your country is currently gifted with players who can fill your spot and everybody wants to make the starting spot so will you risk staying and probably be shifted to a part player or move to a team that will cherish your talent and will allow you to be the main start and starter in all games ?
No one pushed him out as you make it... the situation was clear he will not be a guaranteed starter and the competition is getting more & more hard for him...
I like Ozil , but i know he has his limitations in terms of fitness he can still make that killer pass which will make him fan favorite in Arsenal and a revelation in the EPL but for me i'd pick Isco because not only he provide the same , he score more , he dictate the play and a lot more versatile and above all Spanish
I was prepared to write something similar but your spared me the effort, thankfully. One thing to add, Ancelotti hasn't singled a single player out for sale, he asked for all his players to remain and he spoke AGAINST BALE. Ozil had Ancelotti's confidence, he just didn't have self confidence and it makes sense, he was upset with being a right winger. He had Di Maria, Jese both beat in pecking order, but not Bale due to hype.
He knows tactically he won't play his favorite position, he just won't even though if he had more self confidence he could displace Isco (who is raw as hell and was shell shocked) but as per his words (never mind Mourinho's report on him and Benzema) he needs the full and undeniable trust from the coach. So he left, I wouldn't say it is good riddance because I loved Ozil, but this is the case at Madrid, you will have competition and if you cannot deal with it you are OUT!
Benzema is next, if the club feel that he is not mentally fully there, he will also be sold, depends on how well he will respond to Zidane because you can bet your left nut we will purchase a striker next season, and if he will dwell, then fuck him. Mentally you have to be as strong as Ramos (not the nut case he is, but the confidence to bounce back).
Considering Bale was arriving no matter what, we already discussed how tactically Ozil is the surplus to the requirement.
