Ancelotti: We Made A Mistake Selling Mesut Ozil To Arsenal

By on January 12, 2014

It’s taken over four months, but Real Madrid have finally admitted they made a mistake in selling Mesut Ozil to Arsenal in the summer.

The German playmaker is widely regarded as one of the best creators in Europe and was a regular fixture in the Real Madrid first team since joining from Werder Bremen in 2010.

So it came as a huge shock when the Spaniard’s allowed the 25-year-old to leave following the arrival of Gareth Bale during the final days of the summer transfer window.

Arsenal, armed with cash to burn, were the beneficiaries as we smashed our transfer record to secure our first ‘marquee’ signing in years with the £42.5m capture of Ozil on September 2nd.

Everybody knew Madrid had to sell one of their star players to balance the books after splashing £100m on Bale, it’s just people were surprised Ancelotti decided to cash-in on Ozil ahead of the likes of Angel Di Maria.

However, the Spaniards, in a hilarious attempt to somehow justify their decision, came up with a number of excuses as to why they sold the German schemer with Ancelotti questioning his attitude, claiming Ozil asked to leave while also suggesting he was no longer part of his plans. All complete BS.

But finally, the Italian coach has admitted they made a mistake in allowing Ozil to leave and join Arsenal. When asked if his side have missed his creativity, Ancelotti conceded:

“I think we made a mistake when we gave him [Ozil] the possibility to leave the club. However, we have fantastic strikers and don’t need a back-up after [Gonzalo] Higuain’s departure.” [Source: Gulf News]

Never mind Carlo, unfortunately it’s too late. You treated him badly and now he’s loving life in London and will hopefully help fire Arsenal to the title this season.

    So your regret is the reason you don’t want morata to going Arsenal when you do not have clear plans for him. Your fear is that Wenger will polish him again and bring the best out of him, meaning your weakness over no giving time to light weight players will further be exposed

    Ancelotti had made his blunder of the season. Isco apparently has no type of a complete playmaker. His play and character is rather be second striker, so Madrid’s creative section is now belong to Modric.

    I love all gooners , but n11gooner you are a loser twat. We have fans from all over the world, many not fluent in English, and they should not be made uncomfortable by losers like you . If you want to be technically correct the “n” in your semi complete postcode should be upper case and any self- respecting Gooner would not spell that with a “g” . Ozil speaks worse English than most of the commentators on this article.

    I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt,
    you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few
    folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy
    that I came across this in my hunt for something concerning this.
