The former Borussia Dortmund manager is a huge admirer of the 27-year-old frontman and believes that the player is currently the best forward in the German League.
Ottmar Hitzfeld, who has previously managed Bayern Munich on two separate occasions, feels that Mario Gomez is a pure class act and is among the best strikers in the world. The Allianz Arena club president Uli Hoeness suggested
that Gomez is not a great player and the arrival of new attackers was significant for the FC Hollywood outfit.
The chief underlined the fact that Gomez has been unable to perform in the latter, key stages of the competition which resulted in Die Roten losing out on three fronts last season. The Swiss coach does not agree with Hoeness and
believes that the prolific goal scorer bloomed immensely in the last campaign.
The 63-year-old tactician claims that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 man is one of the top forwards around and had an amazing season with Bayern last season, where he scored 41 goals in 52 appearances at a strike rate of 0.79.
"He is one of the best strikers in the world. Mario has had a great season at Bayern with a lot of goals," Hitzfeld was quoted as saying in an interview.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 coach further added that the attacker had a decent form in the European Championships 2012 contributing three crucial goals in the group of death. He expected the frontman to score freely in the quarter-final match
against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 but was shocked to see him on the bench as it was completely uncalled for.
"He was good at Euro 2012 as well. I thought he was about to explode after the game versus Greece, but then he didn't play. I couldn't understand that decision,” he stated.
Furthermore, Hitzfeld stressed that no one is superior in the Bundesliga to Gomez and only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 can match his talents.
"There's no better striker in the Bundesliga. Only [Robert] Lewandowski and [Klaas-Jan] Huntelaar are at a similar level," he finally concluded.
Gomez netted an impressive 26 goals in the league in 2011-12 campaign as he helped Bayern finish runners-up in the Bundesliga.
