Eintracht midfielder Mario Götze said that at one time the nickname "the new Messi" somewhat pressured him.
Mario Götze- After my goal against Argentina, I was so wonderful that people started talking about the top level of my play. They expected me to become a superstar in the next 10 years.
I was the new hope for the German national team, the next Messi, but it is a heavy burden. I felt I had to dominate every game. There are no bad days. Win today and tomorrow. And I tried so hard, really, I tried.
But footballers also have bad days. They get injured. They fall ill. Even when you're playing well, the coach can change the system and that's it," said Mario Götze.
