According to Sky Sports, Mario Götze spoke in an interview about his career, life at Eintracht Frankfurt, his investment plans, and his views on Klopp.

On the various roles he has played throughout his career — from "Super Mario" and World Cup winner to investor and father — and what matters most to him today, Mario Götze said: "I'd say a bit of everything, sometimes more, sometimes less. People grow over time and gain experience. From playing in the Bundesliga at 17 or 18 to today, there have been many great experiences along the way. I think it's probably a combination of all these roles. Right now I'm focusing more on my children, and I also recognize that I can't play football forever, so these two roles could become more important."

When asked about the origins of his investment ideas and which athletes inspired him, Mario Götze explained: "There are probably two main factors. First, I've always observed how other American athletes structure their lives and what they do outside of sport. Then, after moving from Dortmund to Eindhoven and the birth of my son, I started thinking about whether I needed to change how I structure my life, since I can't play football forever."

"Many things came together, and I began to focus more seriously on investments and also developed an interest in areas beyond football and family, including other asset classes. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and other top athletes have accomplished a lot, and I've learned much from them. Roger Federer's activities off the pitch and David Beckham's franchise in Miami after his career have also impressed me. Top athletes really do these things exceptionally well."

On his role at Eintracht Frankfurt and how he feels about his work there, Mario Götze said: "I'm very happy. I feel comfortable here, my family has settled in well, and the conditions are excellent. I also know I won't be able to do this in ten years. The combination of these factors feels wonderful. It's very different from when I was 20 or 22. Back then, I didn't know what the future would bring, whether I'd get injured or face other situations. It's precisely these factors that make the current experience even more special."

On the German national team's performance during the international break and the new national team coach, Mario Götze commented: "I think there were many positive aspects, especially since many players got the chance to play and show what they can do. A win always makes things easier, and ultimately in football it's about results. However, there are many excellent young players in the squad, and the overall energy is good, which I think is important right now. There's still a long way to go to reach an ideal position again, and that's to be expected; we mustn't forget that. I don't know how many training sessions they had in total; these things take time."

About Klopp, Mario Götze said: "If there's something he's good at, it's bringing young and older players together in a team, building a good team atmosphere and good rhythm while also playing interesting football. He's proven that at Mainz, Dortmund, and Liverpool. I think that's his strength. However, it's not something that happens overnight; it's a process that takes time. I think he's done it very well so far."

On life after his career ends and plans for the end of his playing days, Mario Götze said: "Sometimes I think about what everyday life will look like since I can't play football until I'm 40. But that's still far away, and I'm preparing for life after football, although I don't have concrete plans yet."

"I don't want to be deeply involved in the operational side of the sports industry; I'm not planning to become a coach or sporting director, but I hope to stay connected to sport. I'll focus more seriously on investments, try to learn and gain experience, and then see what fits me. I've always been interested in how to combine finance, private equity, sport, and work behind the scenes, and I may devote more energy to that in the future."
