Euro 2008, June 16, the Nationalmannschaft faces Austria in the last game of Group B. At least a draw is required to ensure qualification in Germany. In a tense meeting where, among others, two breeders Löw and Hickersberger were sent to the stands, pulls Klose in the middle of the Austrians, eliminates, hooks his direct opponent before serving on a board while a goal is to Mario Gomez. The ball bounced off the leg of the latter and Garica, smaller in size, is needed in the air before the German attack. Gomez formalizes its nickname "Gurke" the pickle!
"I saw myself in Liverpool"
October 3, 2010, the seventh day of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is already in crisis and moves in the cave of the BVB Dortmund. For the first time since the start of the season, Mario Gomez is tenured at the forefront of the attack Bavarian instead of a Klose injured. Bayern bows to the youth of the Schwarz-Gomez gelben but ate the leaf in the first half, including missing a duel with the keeper Weidenfeller. The "Gurke" then the bottom of the jar and Van Gaal did little savings for several months, "he told me that the attacker was 4 and I could leave. I saw myself in Liverpool ". Indeed, the English club has contacted the Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window to get the loan of the German attack. The direction taken by Bavarian Uli Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has, August 29, 2010, vetoed the start.
Forward the least publicized of Europe?
Player of the Year in 2007 as top scorer in 2011, Mario Gomez has, at 25, crossing the symbolic threshold of 100 goals in the Bundesliga and now finds itself with 101 achievements 182 meetings with a horrible ratio. In this fast-paced, it is on course to become one of the top five scorers in the history of the German championship and can even pick up the podium to replace Jupp Heynckes, the new coach at Bayern Munich. What are the equivalents in Europe? Drogba had done the same age? Not much. Eto'o has exploded to 24 years in Barcelona. Ditto for Villa. As for Rooney, born the same year as Gomez, he, in the Premier League, scored ten goals ever having played hundreds of games more. Ronaldo is slightly ahead, Torres below. As for Messi, he is simply untouchable. But who do we talk about in the newspapers? The Bayern Munich striker? Surely not.
Super Mario!
Also benefiting from the wound to Olic, Gomez will then make the best season of his career: 28 goals in 32 league games, 53 games 46 achievements in all competitions. The "Super Mario" of VfB Stuttgart, 2007-2009, is back. The bench Munich is a distant memory even in the blunt Batavian Van Gaal. We understand better why Kevin Kuranyi is gone in 2005 to Schalke 04 when he perceived the threat Gomez. And how to interpret the departure of Miroslav Klose to Lazio? "Super Mario" will finally put a year to justify his transfer 35 million euros, a huge sum in a league known for its good management. When asked about his Hoeness attacker, the businessman resurfaces: "if I put that much money on the table is that my player scores over 20 goals per season. He can do better!"
"Klose is before me but for how long?"
Qualification for Euro 2012 on June 3, Klose is injured after contact in the friendly against Uruguay, Gomez holds and in the same Ernst Happel Stadion cursed three years ago, it has, in the 90th minute the victory to his national team a whim on a furious center Lahm. He score a double that night against Austria after his first kiss and achieving the goal post, just to thank Providence. The "Gurke" is forgotten. The lymphatic nonchalant Gomez, to whom the German people accused of not enough to fight despite its large size (1.89 m to 86 kg) is endangered. It is the metamorphosis of the cockroach! The Bundestrainer Löw does not make a mistake: "I always thought Mario as a holder." What does the person? "Klose is before me but for how long?" Nine in a speech the mouth of a 9!
