Bayern Munich and Germany legend Lothar Matthaus has always had a strong opinion regarding his beloved club, when he sees something he doesn't like he immediately talks of writes about it. After Mario Gotze's latest goal with Germany against Italy, Matthaus saw a frustrated Mario who is not very happy with Bayern because he doesn't play. But for Lothar, Gotze's problems can be solved very easily, he just needs to return to Borussia Dortmund and everything will be fixed. Writing in his weekly column for Sports Bild, he opened strong with a bold statement.
"Gotze back to Dortmund would simply be a good fit. Our World Cup hero is a child of the Borussia Dortmund academy. He might have ruined it for some fans following his move to Bayern, but I feel he does not owe anyone an apology over his decision to go for a new challenge elsewhere. Things unfortunately didn't pan out as everybody expected. But both Gotze and Dortmund know from each other what they bring to the table. He will soon win the fans over again after his first few goals for BVB.
"Would a return to Dortmund mean he has failed at Bayern? I think that would be harsh to say. He won two Bundesliga titles with Dortmund and he will win his fifth title in total if Bayern win it this season. These successes with Bayern, in which he had a hand, prove him right for joining them. But it's also a fact that he has been unable to become a undisputed starter like Thomas Muller. The reason behind all this is not just Gotze's quality or his mentality. The marriage between Gotze and Bayern was a misunderstanding right from the start."
But Mario Gotze future might be tied to Jurgen Klopp not Borussia Dortmund, the German manager has already confessed that he is keeping tags on Mario and expects to make a summer move for him. And also, we have yet to see what newcomer Carlo Ancelotti has to say about Gotze, because Carletto likes the kind of player he is and maybe he will want him to stay with the Bundesliga champions. At the end it all depends on what Gotze really wants.
