Last international match 2017
Despite his strong performances since his return to the Bundesliga, Mario Götze is not thinking about the World Cup in Qatar. “That’s not an issue for me,” said the attacking midfielder from Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday evening in the “ZDF sports studio“. “I’m concentrating on the club, on what’s happening here. Everything else – I don’t want to talk about it anymore either.” That’s just a side effect. “The focus is on Eintracht, on the games we have. Especially with the Champions League.”
However, the winning goal scorer from the 2014 World Cup final admitted that he is in contact with national coach Hansi Flick. “I’ve always been in contact with Hansi, ever since we’ve known each other through the national team.” The former Dortmund and Bayer 04 player played the last of his 63 international matches in November 2017. Flick himself recently raved about the 30-year-old. “I would also like to have brought him to Bayern Munich. He’s just a player who has his enormous strengths in the last third – that’s why he would have been a good addition,” said the former FCB coach in the podcast “More than a game” of the DFB foundations.
Götze, who had switched to the Europa League winner for 4 million euros after two years at PSV Eindhoven before the season, had shown a strong performance for Frankfurt in the 4-0 win against RB Leipzig and was the linchpin in the SGE -Offensive and prepared a hit. He had already impressed in the previous week at Werder Bremen and was rewarded by the TM community with a nomination for the eleven of the match day.

The TM community is trying to keep Eintracht Frankfurt’s Mario Götze calm
The Eintracht community is happy about Götze’s strong performance, but tries to remain calm and tries not to put too much pressure on the right foot. For example, the user “Table Mountain” says: “In my opinion, the World Cup chatter is much too early. If Götze keeps his form he will automatically become an issue, even if the competition in central midfield is high. I think it’s good if he doesn’t want to talk about it.” And “Naeschen” says about the discussion in the TM forum: “It’s nice that the ball is kept flat here too. Götze yesterday with a great game. But the media focus on him is immense. (…) They are all factually right in their praise, but the whole thing is being pushed to the extreme emotionally.”
It’s nice that the ball is kept flat here too. Götze yesterday with a great game. But the media focus on him is immense. Imagine that the man is not 30 but 20. I think that would be hard for a boy to shoulder on a personal level.
Factually they are all right with their praise, but the whole thing is extremely emotionally pushed. For example, during the interview at the table after the game, Matthäus was really enthusiastic.
Götze remains sovereign and calm on the outside, …
