Felix Götze: My first kit is up on the wall

Felix Götze made his Bundesliga debut for FCA in Saturday’s home clash with Borussia Mönchengladbach.

It is now going up on my wall.” The 20-year-old wasn’t fully satisfied with the result though. “We played very well but we had to take all three points.” He played an important role in central midfield after coming on in the 75th minute. The former Bayern München youngster showed a lot of composure on the ball. “In training, I can watch the way that Daniel Baier plays and learn to play forward on the ball.” Settling into living into Augsburg Off the pitch, Götze has already settled in Augsburg and found his own apartment. “Although I still often go to Munich, as a 20 year old I am able to live in my own flat.
