BILD, a leading media outlet in Germany, reported that Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will return to the German national team “in March” and promoted that “if everything goes normally”, at Euro 2024 “which if where is played at home it should be him. and not Barça’s goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen”.
FC Barcelona’s starting goalkeeper, who finally started last year with the German national team after Neuer was sidelined due to a serious fracture of the tibia and fibula in a skiing accident, did not play in the last national team break due to some pain in the lower back which also prevented him from lining up in the last games of his club. In Germany, they report that Neuer himself, 37 years old, sees himself in the Eurocup in charge of the team now managed by Julian Naggelsmann after the dismissal of Hansi Flick. “I am in good communication with the goalkeeper coach (Andreas Kronenberg) and with Julian (national coach) and we all assume that I will be there if everything goes normal…”, said the Bayern goalkeeper himself, head of the national team , according to Bild. “Julian knows me. He has seen this before in training and in games. So I am completely calm,” insisted Neuer, who flatly rejected the idea of a retirement for which he did not set a date. “I want to play as long as I enjoy it. And I am very happy to be there again, that I am coming back from a long injury and the team needs me. I notice that they are happy that I am there,” he added.
After more than ten months of rehabilitation due to an injury caused by skiing, a sport that is highly inadvisable for footballers, Neuer has played seven games for Bayern. Bild recalled that his figures since then were four clean sheets and five goals conceded. He also received praise from German international midfielder Leon Goretzka, Neuer’s teammate at Bayern, who continued to consider “Manu the best goalkeeper in the world”, praising “the only thing that matters in hers is staying in shape.”
Confidence in Neuer was also shown just days ago by his own club, Bayern, who extended his contract for two more seasons, until 2025, as well as veteran replacement Sven Ulreich, 35 years old. “They form a dream team,” insisted the president of the Bavarian club’s Board of Directors, Jan-Christian Dreesen.
