Gotze shedding no tears over Germany snub as he credits Klopp & Guardiola's impact on his career

The 27-year-old was not included in Joachim Low's 2018 World Cup squad, but insists he has learned from the rejection

Mario Gotze has opened up on his omission from Germany's World Cup squad in Russia last year, claiming he is "not a guy who will cry about it".

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has enjoyed an illustrious career at international level, racking up 63 caps in total and scoring 17 goals.

Gotze was the hero in the 2014 World Cup final, grabbing the winning goal in a 1-0 extra-time triumph over Argentina, which secured a fourth crown for Die Mannschaft.
