The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is patient despite making only a short appearance in Euro 2012 thus far.
Die Mannschaft have a well equipped squad with a host of talented players and the team are favourites to win the competition along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 in the second semi-final of the European championships
on Thursday, June 28, at the National Stadium in Warsaw.
Mario Gotze, who is arguably the best talent to come out of Germany in recent years, has admitted that the lack of playing time has been frustrating for him. The player insisted that he missed the second-half of the Bundesliga
season through injury which has been the reason he has not started any game in Euro 2012.
The Dortmund man revealed that he has had a discussion with Joachim Low and the manager has advised him to be patient. The player played for the first time in the competition when he appeared for the last ten minutes in the quarter-final
against Greece in place of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733.
“I almost missed the entire second half [of the Bundesliga season]. That's why I want to play now, of course. I am fit and back to 100 per cent. The coach told me to have patience. The first game was very important to me. I've
been looking forward to playing, because after three games on the bench I was, of course, ready,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Gotze stressed that he is fit to play and is determined to play an important part in Germany’s Euro 2012 campaign. The midfielder hailed the team’s impressive performance against Greece and is confident of chances in the European
championship.
“You could see against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 we have enough quality to change the attack. Yes, I actually had that fear. And I certainly hope that there are a few more minutes to come,” he concluded.
Mario Gotze has thus far made 15 appearances for Die Mannschaft and has found the net on two occasions. The player also scored in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Austria-c2844 which his side won with a 6-2 margin.
