The former German midfieldern Stefan Effenberg is assured Manuel NeuerB goalkeeperyesterday Munich and recently retired from the German national team, “should not return” to the team led by Julian Nagelsmann due to the serious injury suffered by the goalkeeper of FC Barcelona Marc-André Ter Stegen.
In his weekly column published on the portal ‘T-Online’, the German international said that “Neuer would lose credibility if he wanted to return to the DFB now, even after a short time” and considered that “he wants fully focus on his last two years at Bayern Munich and possibly the future. “For me, retirement is not a good idea in any sport. But he must keep his word. And he will fulfill it,” the former captain of the Bavarian team reaffirmed in the column.
In that sense, Effenberg stressed that the German coach himself would also send “a completely wrong signal to the goalkeepers behind Ter Stegen” if he once again “trusts Neuer, 38 years old”, and that Alexander Nübel, the VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper, It was the “best decision” for the ‘Mannschaft’ arc.
“After all, last season he defended VfB Stuttgart very well and this season in the Champions League he has a challenge at the highest level to continue delivering his performances consistently,” he argued.
Effenberg announced that the captain of FC Barcelona “will return and then perform at 100%, as always, with his previous strength” and that “now he has a year to prepare his return for next season and then fulfill his great dream of a World Cup as a German goalkeeper.
