Jurgen Klopp Explains the Reason for not bringing in Mario Gotze

DBasia.news – Jurgen Klopp has the opportunity to be able to bring Mario Gotze to Liverpool for free in the transfer market this summer. But the 52-year-old manager did not want to do so.

This is quite surprising as Klopp was very well aware of the quality of Gotze. The two have worked together for four years at Borussia Dortmund.

Gotze’s performance has indeed declined in the last few seasons. But Klopp knows exactly how to maximize the ability of one of the players he discovered.

Besides, the presence of Gotze could add options in Liverpool’s midfield. Moreover, it does not need a transfer fee to obtain him.

But Klopp has a different perspective on this matter. For him, Liverpool is not the right club to revive Gotze’s career.

“Mario may need several matches in a row (to restore his performance). He needs a club that gives him the feeling to not have to change the world in every game,” Klopp told Sky Sports.

From this statement, Klopp may appear like he does not care about the fate of his former player. But if you look further, he was actually helping Gotze.

Klopp was aware that he could not guarantee a place in Liverpool’s squad for Gotze. He actually gave him advice regarding the club criteria that must be chosen.

“Gotze should play normally and then play again and again. So I think we will continue to see the old Mario Gotze,” he concluded.
