Götze regrets having changed Klopp for Guardiola

Mario Götze has a thorn in his side, not having spent more time with Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund, whom he puts before Pep Guardiola. For the PSV German midfielder it was a mistake to abandon the discipline of Borussia Dortmund so soon, under Klopp, to be under Guardiola at Bayern Munich. Götze left Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund to join Guardiola’s Bayern in 2013. The midfielder regrets that he left so early on the side of the coach who now leads a successful Liverpool.

He was 21 years old at the time and his transfer to Bayern, for 37 million euros, placed him in the successful club in Germany, which had just won the Bundesliga, the German Cup, the Champions League and the European Super Cup.

However, the 28-year-old failed to live up to the expectations he set for himself as a young man and returned to his old club three years later. “I wanted to challenge myself, to know Pep’s philosophy. With Bayern we reached three semifinals of the Champions League and Guardiola taught me to watch football from completely different positions on the field. Guardiola just put you literally everywhere in the game. Arjen Robben knows what I’m talking about “, Götze acknowledged, according to the Daily Mail.

Mario Götze, the hero of Germany in the World Cup in Brazil when he scored the goal that gave the Cup in the final against Argentina, He assured that he left Klopp too soon and recognizes the German coach as “one of the most important people in my life.”
