Goalkeeping legends discuss Neuer

74 world champion Sepp Maier (79): “Let him play again first! Then we’ll see if he can do it again. From my side, let me say: If he wants to do it, he can do it again! He will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, all the discussions about him will fall silent again and no one will notice that he was absent for ten months and is 37 years young.”

90s world champion Bodo Illgner (56): “Manuel’s main focus now should only be on being healthy and really getting back to his old self. He needs to be fit and feel comfortable between the posts and on the pitch. You have to remember that he couldn’t play for a long time.”

“I feel like I’ve been sold like a fool” Reif outraged by Bayern’s statement!

96 European champion Andreas Köpke (61): “Firstly: Manu will come back really strong and deliver top performances again. Secondly: The national coach has to make the right decision.”

Jens Lehmann (53): “If Manuel wants it and gets back to normal form, he will play at the European Championships.”

Roman Weidenfeller (43): “I am sure that Manuel Neuer will attack again after his injury. Marc-André ter Stegen has performed exceptionally well recently, not only at Barca, but also in the national team. Both will push each other to achieve their best.”

René Adler (38): “Of course Manuel has his merits, but I lack respect for Marc ter Stegen, who must feel like a placeholder for Manuel. Marc is now the clear number 1. Manuel first has to get back into his old physical condition. If he shows his performance again in the league, Manuel will also return to the national team. Then the performance principle must apply.”

Tim Wiese (41): “I assume that Neuer will be No. 1 at the European Championships if he stays healthy. He is simply the better goalkeeper. If the national coach decides in favor of Ter Stegen, Neuer should resign. What else does he want there then?”
