The former World Cup hero has found a new club: Mario Götze moves to PSV Eindhoven. The Dutch can score points with the former Dortmund participating in the Europa League and with a German coach.
The new club finally has it: Mario Götze, winner of the 2014 World Cup final, is about to move to PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Initially, the Dutch media had unanimously reported that the midfielder was currently undergoing his medical check-up at the top Eredivisie club. In the evening, German coach Roger Schmidt’s club confirmed that Götze would secure a two-year contract with the Europa League participant.
On Monday night, the last day of the transfer window, the free transfer idol had not found a new club three weeks after the start of the season. Götze was allowed to join a club after his contract in Dortmund expired, but had actually given October 5 as the target for a decision. Hertha BSC, AC Milan, Lazio and AS Roma and Atlético de Madrid – there were many clubs that Götze was associated with. Now the big surprise: the world champion from Rio goes to Holland.
“We had good conversations and I seriously considered moving to the Netherlands afterwards,” Götze said in the official announcement. He had some offers this summer, “but I am an emotional person and I make my own decisions. I feel ready for a new challenge and I am sure it will be a nice change for me,” Götze said.
“Most of the rumors were absolute nonsense,” Götze said recently in an interview with “Bild.” Hertha, in particular, was on the verge of a transfer. “I always said he was a very good player,” coach Bruno Labbadia said after the regrettable loss to FC Bayern at the Allianz Arena. The question, however, according to the coach, is whether Götze fits the current situation in Berlin. Labbadia had emphasized at the time whether Hertha was strong enough “to catch such a player”, only to reply a bit helplessly: “I can’t say.”
Well in Holland they seem to assume that they can catch the former world champion well. In fact, I wanted to play in the premier class. Götze said in the “Bild” with a view to the future: “I have ambitious goals and I really want to win the Champions League. That drives me every day, in every session. I don’t want to finish my career without winning this title once.” to have.”
Götze, who made 63 international appearances for Germany, will initially only be able to play in the Europa League in Eindhoven. There PSV plays in Group E against FC Granada, Omonia Nicosia and Paok Saloniki. At the top Dutch club, the former Dortmund will be coached by German coach Roger Schmidt, who should have influenced his play. Götze will also face Bayern Munich’s Adrian Fein at PSV, who is supposed to collect match training there and was awarded.
