Mario Gomes, or as his teammates call him "Super mario", is a famous German footballer of Stuttgart, one of the main players of the German national team, and just a good guy.
Childhood and adolescence of the future athlete
Mario Gomez was born on July 10, 1985 in Baden - Württemberg (Germany) and later became a world famous footballer. The boy inherited his love of football from his father, who gave him a Spanish surname and was an avid Real Madrid fan. The parents did not specifically raise the child as a future football player, did not encourage or interfere with playing football. In one of the interviews, Gomez mentioned that he first entered the field at the age of four and scored the ball into his team's goal, not particularly understanding the rules of conduct on the field. Over time, the father theoretically taught his son all the intricacies of the game. Unlike his family, Mario became a fan of Barcelona. Imitating his idols, he famously practiced hitting the ball in his yard.
Becoming a future celebrity
At thirteen years old, the talented boy was noticed by the agents of “Stuttgart”, but this was not his time. Only at the age of fifteen did Gomez become a striker in the youth squad of this famous club, where he immediately proved himself excellently, showing excellent work on the field as part of the team. The eighteen-year-old football player was greatly influenced by coach Giovanni Trapattoni. Thanks to the mentor's faith in young talent, perseverance and talent of Mario, such a football player was born. In 2007, he received the title of the best striker according to Kicker magazine. In the same year he was taken to the national team. Since the young man had dual citizenship, he received an offer to play for Spain, but he dreamed of being a player only in his own country. In 2009, “Bayern” paid for this athlete a record amount for the Bundesliga € 30 million. In 2012, he becomes the best forward of “Bavaria”. During his football career, he played for both Italian Fiorentina and Turkish Besiktas, but in 2016 the footballer returns to his homeland to play for Wolfsburg. During his career, Gomez won the 2007 German Footballer of the Year, 2007 Bundesliga Champion, and Euro 2012 top scorer.
In July 2016, he married Karina Wangtsung, who was much older than her husband and was engaged in the modeling business. To this day, the football player does not allow strangers into his personal life, their relationship is behind seven locks.
Mario Gomez in May 2018 decided to complete his performances for the German team "Stuttgart". The thirty-three-year-old said it was time to give way to younger and more promising footballers. And he has many personal plans and unrealized ideas that he dreams of fulfilling outside the field.
