Fans had booed Goretzka off the pitch when the Royal Blues ended up with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Hannover 96 in their home game last Sunday, as the club loses ground in their attempt to qualify for the 2018/2019 Champions League. One banner read: "Neither money nor titles are of more value as it is our club. Someone who can't appreciate that should get lost right away!"
Schalke's fans accuse Goretzka of betraying the clubs' values by joining rival Bayern.
Like Bierhoff, German national coach Joachim Loew is concerned Goretzka's preparation for the World Cup could be negatively affected. Loew said Goretzka is already an inspiring personality despite his young age. The Bochum-born midfielder played over 100 league games for Schalke.
Bierhoff said he was happy about Goretzka being part of Schalke's starting eleven against Hannover. Not to sideline him, Bierhoff emphasized, was a clear message from Schalke's coach Domenico Tedesco proving Goretzka's value for the Royal Blues. "We should be happy to keep him in the Bundesliga as he could have easily joined a Spanish or English side. I am sure he could have earned much more in a foreign league," Bierhoff commented.
According to rumors, clubs like FC Barcelona, Juventus Turin, Manchester United and FC Liverpool were highly interested in Goretzka and had made offers.
While Schalke are licking their wounds, Bayern Munich praises Goretzka's skills. Coach Jupp Heynckes said he is happy about the rejuvenation process of the squad. "Having him around is a positive overall. New young people always stand for new inspiration for a team," the 72-year-old emphasized. Heynckes called Goretzka an attraction for the German Bundesliga.
