Mario Gomez insists he is “accustomed to pressure and will get back to the real Mario” for Fiorentina soon.
The German international barely featured in his debut Serie A season due to a series of injuries, while he missed some sitters in the opening two rounds of this term.
“I didn’t score in these two games and I can say the fans have not seen the real Mario Gomez this year,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“I am accustomed to criticism and pressure. When I don’t score for two or three games, everyone is talking about me.
“I know that I can improve and against Genoa should’ve put at least one of those chances in the back of the net, but there are spells like this in the life of a football player and I am not worried.
“I want to score as soon as possible and I am certain it’ll happen. In any case, what counts for me is the team, which is why I want to score a goal, as that’s what we strikers are there for.”
There is even more pressure on Gomez because Giuseppe Rossi is ruled out for four to five months following knee surgery.
“I have been here for a year and always had to talk about injuries: first me, then Pepito, then him again… It is difficult and he’s a good lad. I hope he returns soon.”
