Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff says Mario Gotze can make an impact at Euro 2016 after snubbing interest from Liverpool to commit his future to Bayern Munich.
Gotze has been heavily linked with a reunion with former Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp at Anfield after struggling to cement his spot in Pep Guardiola's XI last season.
"This is, for me, a very good decision to commit to Bayern as early as possible," Bierhoff told Bild.
"As a result, Mario can settle and gain his focus for the Euros and concentrate completely on it.
"Things with his agent are his personal matter."
The former striker added: "I can only talk about my own experience of 1996 - it is difficult to predict.
"The World Cup win in 2014 stands for the team. Also at the European Championship, there will not just be one hero, we are all one team."
