 Pep Gaurdiola says I love Mario Goetze 

Bayern Munich’s Mario Goetze, who has spent much of the past two seasons on the bench, is starting to feel some love from coach Pep Guardiola after scoring in their 3-0 win at Greece’s Olympiakos in the Champions League.

Germany’s World Cup winner had vented his frustration over his supporting role at the champions at the start of the season and had at the time refused to commit to Bayern, instantly raising speculation about his future at the club.

Urged by club bosses to stay on and fight for a starting spot, the 23-year-old, who scored the winner in the World Cup final last year, looks to have risen to the challenge, first scoring twice in Germany’s win over Poland earlier this month and netting again on Wednesday.

“I love Mario Goetze,” said Guardiola. “I have said it a million times and I will say it a million times. He is a super guy and a super character with a great attitude. Everything was easier after Mario’s goal.

He is a top player and has enormous quality.” Guardiola, however, had again left Goetze on the bench at the start and sent him on in the 79th minute before he scored Bayern’s second goal and sealed their win a minute from the end. Thomas Mueller added a third goal with a stoppage time penalty.
