Legendary goalkeeper Manuel
Neuer (name)
Interviewed in front of the media about his thoughts on Ter Stegen and the importance of team unity. Despite some mistakes in recent games, Neuer emphasized that teamwork and unity are crucial.
Noel said in the interview, "It's very important that the team stays together regardless of position. We have a big and good team with good players everywhere. Arguments don't help us. We have to work together in the goalkeeper position as well and we have fun training every day. We demand the most from each other and that's good."
Neuer made a series of errors in the run-up to the Euros, but boss Nagelsmann still insisted on starting him in goal. Neuer failed to keep a clean sheet in Germany's match against Scotland and although he is a legendary player, his place in the German team has caused controversy.
Neuer missed matches until October after the World Cup in Qatar with a broken tibia and fibula and lost the captaincy, with the captain's armband passing to Gündoğan. Neuer said he accepted the situation and continues to contribute to the team: 'For me, not much has changed. I'm still an important part of the team. I wasn't there at the time (when Gündoğan was appointed), but I accepted the situation."
On whether he will continue to play for the national team, Neuer said, "I will think about it after the game, I haven't read anything into it. I've always done it this way, I make an analysis with the coach and then we make a discussion and an assessment. So I don't think too much about that, what is important is the relationship of trust between the coach, the players and me."
