The midfielder is a devout Muslim and adheres to his
religion whenever possible.
Not only does Ozil recite parts of the Koran before
playing each match, but he also observes Ramadan and fasting as far as his
sporting commitments will allow.
Cristiano Ronaldo was once asked is he was religious, and
replied that yes, he was, but laughed that Kaka (who donates half his salary to
the church) and Ozil were far more devout than he was noting that Ozil spoke
Allah’s name before every game.
The player is of Turkish descent and the Emirates Stadium
faithful will get more than used to seeing evidence of his roots this season.
