The former German international has criticised Mario Gomez’s performance against Portugal and has advised him to work harder.
Former Bayern Munich midfielder, Mehmet Scholl, has claimed that Mario Gomez was below par in the game against Portugal and insisted that the striker wasted a host of opportunities upfront. He added that the Bavarian will have
to improve if he wants to retain his place in the starting line-up.
Die Mannschaft secured a crucial win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 Bento’s men on Saturday at the Arena Lviv courtesy a second-half goal from Gomez. The strike proved to be the decider as Joachim Low’s men got off to a winning start in the Euro
2012. The team’s next test will be even tougher as they take on Netherlands on June 13.
Scholl claimed that Gomez was wasteful throughout the course of the game and missed some glorious chances to score. He admitted that the striker needs to improve if he wants to continue playing in the starting line-up otherwise

“If he [Gomez] did more work [off the ball] he would get a lot more chances and score a lot more goals. A striker today has to work more and help his team mates. Between [the times he looked a threat] I was
worried that he might get bedsores,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Bavarian clarified that he holds no grudges against Gomez and is only trying to help the striker in improving his future performances. He revealed his admiration for the national team and tipped the
DFB eleven to go all the way this time around.
“I have nothing against Gomez personally. I am a fan of this team, Gomez is a part of it,” he concluded.
