He Bayern Munich It was, at club and team level, at one of its worst moments. There is a significant gap between the team it was before the World Cup and the one it is now. A serious injury to Manuel Neuer while he was skiing didn’t help either, and it caused more than one headache for the Bavarian entity.
Well, today, at the most delicate moment, the goalkeeper made some statements that not only came at a very bad time but shocked the club. They also did not like some fans, who were released on social networks against the veteran footballer.
Neuer strongly criticized the board and the coach, Julian Nagelsmann, for sacking goalkeeper Toni Tapalovic, ‘his’ coach. In an interview with the English portal ‘The Athletic’ and the ‘Süddeutsche Zeitung’, he said among other things: “This is a blow for me. I feel like my heart is being torn. This is the most brutal things I’ve done’ I’ve experienced in my career. And I’ve experienced a lot…”
“It’s a big disappointment. It’s about the human side of things, about the way a very important employee is treated. At Bayern we wanted to be different, a family, but then something happened that I’ve never experienced. This is something sad for everyone: for the club, for Tapa, for the squad and for all the goalkeepers, including me”.
The moment in which he made these appearances was infuriating. In just ten days, the team will face the most important game of the season: the first leg of the round of 16 against PSG. “How ungrateful can Neuer be after stranding the team and the club with a broken leg in a skiing accident just before Christmas?” asked a fan. Another says: “It’s not fit for a captain.”
Oliver Kahn also spoke: “What Manuel said in relation to Toni Tapalovic’s departure does not do justice to him as captain, or to the values of Bayern. Furthermore, his statements come at a bad time because we are facing very important games.”
As reported by ‘Bild’, Neuer faces at least a fine. Partly because the interview was not arranged. The managers froze, they didn’t know what he was going to say.
