There’s a simple reason as to why Mario Gomez has got back on the score sheet according to the Italian media- the Chancellor is having an influence on him: “After scoring a brace in the Italian Cup and receiving the blessing of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Florence, Gomez is back playing again and put in a good performance,” was what the Gazzetta dello Sport came up with after the 29-year-old Germany striker scored his third goal for AC Fiorentina in the space of four days. The Chancellor made a visit to Florence last week.
The goal came on Sunday in their 1-1 draw with AS Roma but it was of secondary importance to Gomez. The media praised the improved performance of the former Stuttgart and Bayern player, who seems to have found his goal scoring form once again. “Mario had to put up with acrimony and criticism. That goal has revitalised him. He’s back,” commented the paper.
Manager Montella: “Gomez continues to improve”
“It’s nice to see Mario Gomez’s smile again- a lost hero who is now back with his second league goal,” wrote the paper La Repubblica. Gomez showed on Sunday that the brace against Atalanta in the last 16 of the Coppa Italia was no accident.
The striker has also received praise from his manager Vincenzo Montella. “Gomez continues to improve. He can get even better. It’s crucial for us to have a striker with his quality,” stressed the manager. Fiorentina are currently in sixth and two points off the Europa League places.
“Mario is back. He’s good in every respect and acknowledges that he is an important player for his team,” wrote the Corriere dello Sport. “Gomez is revived once again and was annoyed with his manager for bringing him off in the 78th minute,” said the Corriere della Sera.
