The Bayern Munich striker has showed gratitude to his former teammates on holding the Borussians to a 4-4 draw at home.
Bayern Munich striker, Mario Gomez, has expressed his delight after Stuttgart held Borussia Dortmund to a 4-4 draw at the weekend. The Borussians were five points ahead of the Bavarian giants prior to the Stuttgart game on Friday,
March 30, but dropped two vital points after losing a 2-0 lead.
Gomez sent a video message to his former teammates praising them on their outstanding effort against the high-flying Dortmund. The Swabians scored three goals in the last 13 minutes to upset the Black Yellows in their own backyard
and reducing their lead atop the league standings to three points.
Stuttgart midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Gentner-c9080, confirmed that Gomez contacted them immediately after the game. He mentioned that the Munich striker was full of praise for his side. Gentner scored the equalising goal in the 90th
minute to make the score line 4-4 after Dortmund had regained their lead in the 87th minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ivan-c17215 Perisic.
While talking to soccerway.com, the Stuttgart midfielder further added: "Mario congratulated us immediately after the game. Not by text, though. He sent a video message together with a few Bayern players.”
Gomez spent nearly eight years with the Mercedes-Benz-Arena outfit and made his way into Stuttgart’s senior side in 2003. He made 121 league appearances for the Swabians, bagging 63 goals during the process. The attacker then made
his way to the Allianz Arena in 2009 and has been in tremendous goal scoring touch.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international has netted 61 league goals for the German giants until now from 88 outings and is currently on his way to bag his successive Golden Boot award.
A point for each side means that Bayern are back in contention for the treble this season. They are now three points short of the Borussians at the second spot and a win in the rest of their six games in the Bundesliga can ensure
them a title this season.
The Munich giants will next be in action against Augsburg on Saturday, April 7, at the Allianz Arena.
