The Europa League group stage began a new round of competition in the early morning, in which the Dutch League powerhouse Eindhoven defeated the Austrian side Graz Storm 4:1 away from home, and the first two rounds of the Europa League, Eindhoven won 1 and drew 1, beating Real Sociedad in La Liga and Monaco in Ligue 1, ranking first in the group. Eindhoven won the Champions League in 1987-1988 and are also competing in this year's Champions League qualifiers, but they eventually lost to Portuguese Giants Benfica and can only compete in the Europa League in the new season. They are currently in fourth place in the Eredivisie.
Eindhoven has a number of fans who are well known, including former Guoan coach Schmidt, forward Israeli international, former Chinese Super League Golden Boot Zahavi, Fan Kinkir, who played for Chelsea and Milan, of course, the fans are most familiar with Mario Götze, who prevented Messi from winning the World Cup. Götze left Dort last year to join Eindhoven on a free agent, and this season, the former golden boy has clearly recovered.
In the last round of the Europa League, Götze passed a shot to help Eindhoven draw the powerful Real Sociedad, and this round Götze continued to highlight the performance, assisting twice, and was one of the absolute heroes of the team's victory. In the 15 games that Götze has played for Eindhoven this season, Götze has contributed 5 goals and 6 assists, so efficient and efficient, there is a real taste of returning to the peak, and Götze's most prominent season was the 2013-2014 season, when he made 30 goals.
Speaking of Götze, it is necessary to mention that in the Final of the World Cup in Brazil, the German Golden Boy came on as a substitute for Klose in the final, and received Schueller's left pass in the final extra time, and the chest stopped the ball and the shot broke the balance on the field, this goal not only helped Germany lift the Hercules Cup for the fourth time, but also let Messi miss the best time to reach the top of the 21st century ball king. Götze is only 29 years old this year, and after coming to the Eredivisie, he has clearly recovered his form, and perhaps one day we will see the golden boy return to the big five leagues or even the German national team.
