Gotze took Dortmund-Bayern move too lightly - Magath

The 62-year-old says that the World Cup winner is only now settling in Bavaria but is still not "anything like the dominant player he was at BVB"

Former Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath believes Mario Gotze has struggled at the Allianz Arena because he took his move from Borussia Dortmund  too lightly.
The Germany international joined the Bavarians in July 2013 for a fee of €37 million, but has thus far been unable to nail down a regular berth in Pep Guardiola's starting line-up.
However, while Magath feels that the 23-year-old is playing nowhere near as well as he was during his days at Signal Iduna Park, the 62-year-old believes that the World Cup winner is finally showing signs of settling.
"In my opinion, Gotze underestimated his move from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern," the 62-year-old told Bild .
"Bayern are a different club than Dortmund. There are a lot of players who have struggled to make the grade at Bayern.
"I think that it was extra difficult for Gotze because he was the star man at Dortmund, but was only one of many stars at Bayern.
"He scored the winning goal in the World Cup final, but he wasn't anything special in the other games.
"And he still is not anything like the dominant player he was at BVB.
"But I get the feeling that he is now getting used to the situation at Bayern and is on his way to getting back to his usual best."
