Gotze: I want more game time at Dortmund
Mario Gotze has said that it is his aim to start on a regular basis for Borussia Dortmund, having found himself peripheral to the Bundesliga side in the opening weeks of the season.
The 26-year-old has experienced football at the very highest level and scored the World Cup-winning goal in 2014 as Germany beat Argentina 1-0 after extra-time in the final. Since then, however, he has struggled with injury and form, and his first start this term only came in Tuesday’s 1-0 victory over Bruges in the Champions League.
Gotze’s fall from grace has seen him targeted by critics in the media, with Germany legend Lothar Matthaus instructing the player to move on for the good of his career.
