Mario Götze seems to be fit to come to PSV. The midfielder played his last game for Borussia Dortmund in May, but the images of his medical examination are no cause for concern. On FOX Sports Wednesday evening photos are shown of the inspection, which Götze went through on Tuesday evening. Analysts Hans Kraay junior and Arnold Bruggink have high expectations.

Kraay junior calls Götze ‘incredibly trained’ and even a ‘trained young god with a narrow head’. “I’ve never actually seen him so narrow. Not that I know him, but purely on the basis of looking at him,” explains the analyst. The figure of Götze was actually a topic of discussion immediately after the announcement of his arrival. Kenneth Perez and journalist Martijn Krabbendam, for example, questioned his fitness on Tuesday evening.

“If you think Ihattaren is too fat and you get to Götze now, yes you can…”, said Krabbendam, club watcher of Feyenoord. Perez was also concerned, partly because Götze had to deal with a metabolic disease. “The last time I saw him play football was a long time ago and I have always found him a bit too fat, that he was not fit. I have not seen him fit for a long time”, said the Dane in the broadcast. Bruggink understands that there were immediate doubts about the fitness of the 28-year-old acquisition. “You still have that image from a few years ago”, he says.

“But if you follow him on Instagram, you would have seen for a long time that he is very fit and works with a personal coach. He seems very fit. He will be able to join quickly. I think it’s a sensation,” said the old man. striker, who calls the arrival of the German a ‘huge stunt’. He understands that Götze is willing to sacrifice a lot of money to revive his career; in Dortmund he earned ten million euros annually and in Eindhoven that is said to be less than two million euros. “If you have a lot of money, you can make that choice out of luxury. Roger Schmidt has been the most important person who got him to come to PSV.”
