Fiorentina striker Gomez proud of Germany World Cup glory

Fiorentina striker Mario Gomez is proud of Germany after their World Cup triumph.

Gomez missed the World Cup squad due to injury.

"I am very happy for my country and my teammates, they were the best team," Gomez told ViolaChannel.

"They have worked on this goal for many years and it is a deserved victory.

"It hurts to not be there with them because I have been with them for seven years. But I still have time to win a World Cup or European Championship, so I want to play very well in the Viola shirt over the next four years. The first aim is to play in Euro 2016."
