WhatsApp chat leaked: Flick wants his Choupo-Moting with Götze

© Provided by 90min Flick wants Götze back at FC Bayern The rumor of the day: Hansi Flick spoke to Mario Götze on the phone. The Bayern coach would like the world champion scorer from 2014 back at FCB ! The WhatsApp chat history of the two of them from Wednesday morning has now been leaked exclusively to us! [Attention: satire!] No, Hasan Salihamidzic and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge don't seem really enthusiastic about Flick's idea of ​​bringing Mario Götze back to Munich.

Mario Götze said he regretted leaving Dortmund for Bayern three years ago.

Gotze returned to Signal Iduna Park in 2016, having initially left to join rivals Bayern Munich in a €37million (£31m) deal in 2013. He struggled for fitness during his final season in Bavaria due to a metabolic illness but recovered to score the winning goal for Germany in the 2014 World Cup final.

Recently, Hertha BSC showed great interest in the 2014 world champion, but the Berliners could not bring themselves to present the midfielder with a concrete contract offer.

At PSV, the former Bayer coach Roger Schmidt is in charge of the sport. The Dutch now attacked Götze because other clubs, such as Hertha, hesitated.

Eindhoven was under time pressure because the transfer window in the Netherlands closes today, Tuesday, and the clubs participating in the European Cup also have to forward their squad entry lists to UEFA today.

PSV Eindhoven plays in Group E in the Europa League against FC Granada (Spain), Omonia Nicosia (Cyprus) and PAOK Saloniki from Greece.

Schmidt uses in the Bundesliga

The former Leverkusen coach Schmidt has been in Eindhoven since July 1 and brought some players from the two German professional leagues into the Eredivisie in this transfer phase: Goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo (RB Leipzig), Vincent Müller ( Kickers Würzburg), Philipp Max (FC Augsburg) and today, Tuesday Adrian Fein (FC Bayern) to PSV. Keeper Lars Unnerstall (since 2019, formerly Düsseldorf and Schalke) and defensive player Timo Baumgartl (since 2019, formerly VfB Stuttgart) have been in the Eindhoven jersey for a long time.

Referee Felix Zwayer ( left ) talks to Bayer Leverkusen head coach Roger Schmidt . Schmidt was incensed after calls for a foul on Stefan Kiessling were dismissed in the build-up to the goal and after he refused to leave his position, referee Felix Zwayer took the players off the pitch.

In Götze's second BVB phase, his star finally dropped.

Götze, who played 213 Bundesliga games (57 goals), 62 games in the Champions League (12 goals), 23 duels in the DFB Cup and 63 international matches for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern ( 17 goals), was without a club after the 2019/20 Corona season. Most recently he hardly had any sporting prospects under BVB coach Lucien Favre - Götze only played 15 competitive games in his last season at BVB, mostly as a substitute. Shortly after his return from FC Bayern to BVB in the summer of 2016, Götze's career had already taken a real dent. The main reason was health problems, because the Dortmunders missed him for almost the entire first half of 2017 due to a metabolic disease.

With Borussia he became German champions in 2011 and 2012 under coach Jürgen Klopp. After the lost German Champions League final in 2013 - Götze was absent due to a torn muscle - he moved to Munich and won three consecutive championships with Bayern from 2014 to 2016. With BVB he also won the DFB Cup in 2012 - under Pep Guardiola he also celebrated the double with Munich in 2014 and 2016, in 2017 he was again cup winner with BVB, even if he only played in the second-round duel with the then second division club Union the place (3: 0 iE).

The greatest moment: Winning goal in Rio in the 113th minute.

The greatest moment of his career will always be the winning goal in the 2014 World Cup final. When national coach Joachim Löw came on as a substitute in the 88th minute when the score was 0-0 against Argentina, he made the decisive 1-0 in the 113th minute. It was a dream goal with which he scored Germany for the title for the fourth time in World Cup history. But looking back on his career, this redeeming hit for the DFB selection for Götze always had a burdensome factor.
