According to “Bild”, sports director Markus Krösche Götze recently met in Mallorca for an initial conversation. The attacking player was there to spend his summer vacation and celebrate his 30th birthday. Götze should be able to leave Eindhoven for a fixed exit clause of four million euros. That leads to the question:
Is Eintracht Frankfurt the right club for Mario Götze?
Yes, there is a brilliant idea behind it
The “pro from Florian Wichert
There is an art to being in the right place at the right time. Götze mastered it that moment in the 2014 World Cup final when he scored the winning goal for Germany against Argentina and became immortal.
In addition, the idol seemed not to be granted. Whether at Bayern, Dortmund or in the national team: Götze rotated between the starting eleven, substitute bench, joker role or grandstand. Götze didn’t fit the coach, the team, or the game system.
With his move to Eindhoven and coach Roger Schmidt, Götze finally caught the perfect moment again. And now is exactly the right time to step back into the Bundesliga. Not to Bavaria. Not to Dortmund. But to Frankfurt – a traditional club with outstanding fans and a top coach Oliver Glasner, who knows how to deal with Götze and build him in.
The probably fixed deal of Eintracht with Götze is the biggest surprise of the year – but there is a brilliant idea behind it. Both have big goals. Götze still wants to win the Champions League in his career, Frankfurt wants to at least stir it up in the coming season. Both Götze and Frankfurt are smiled at by the big ones.
Both know exactly how sensations succeed. Perhaps the biggest is still pending – and in the end, Götze and Eintracht laugh.
No, Eintracht does not suit him
The contra of Robert Hiersemann
Mario Götze made us world champions in 2014 and enchanted the Bundesliga for years with his tricks and goals. He was one of the most spectacular German players. And yet he should not return to Germany as a footballer. Why?
In the Netherlands he is a celebrated and, above all, seasoned professional, playing almost every game, scoring goals (18 in 77 games) and providing assists (18). In the Bundesliga, on the other hand, he has had the image of a mega-talent who no longer exploits his potential for years. Everyone looks at him. That seemed to inhibit him recently at BVB.
It is good for Götze that he no longer appears in the German public every day. Going abroad was the right step. And if Eindhoven isn’t for him anymore, then he had better think about a move to Spain or Italy. There will always be buyers for him.
In any case, all this is better for him than going to Eintracht. The Hessians have just played an outstanding international season, it will be difficult to maintain this level anyway. In addition, Frankfurt shines above all with fight and passion, less with outstanding technology. That doesn’t suit Götze at all.
What do you mean? Who is right?
