The midfielder has hailed his club teammate for his sensational form in the first two games of the European championship.
Mario Gomez has scored all three of Germany’s goals in the European championship and has been in stunning form. The player scored the only goal of the game against Portugal and added a brace in the next game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 to enhance the side’s chances of progression to the next stage.
Coach Joachim Low was criticised initially for giving Gomez the nod ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049 in the first game against Portugal. However, the striker proved his doubters wrong and has since given two match winning performances for the national team.
Schweinsteiger claimed that Mario Gomez has been influential throughout the course of the season and hailed the attacker’s goalscoring ability after the win against Netherlands on Wednesday.
The midfielder praised his teammate for scoring two sensational goals to enhance the team’s chances of qualifying for the next stage. He admitted that he was surprised with the striker’s first goal as it was a combination of great skill and finishing.
The midfielder admitted that he had not known that Gomez possessed such great skill and is delighted with the attacker’s showing thus far.
“Mario has played a great season for Bayern Munich and, as we saw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 and Holland, he is very important for the team with his goals. To be honest, we did not expect him to take the ball like that and score. It's important for us that we have a striker who needs hardly any chance to score a goal,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Schweinsteiger is confident that Gomez will continue to keep performing is the latter stages of the tournament also.
“At the moment, we have the feeling that when we send the ball forwards, Mario is always there,” he concluded.
Mario Gomez’s stunning start to the campaign means that Miroslav Klose will have to start on the bench in the last game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 but it seems that it will not be the case.
