Manuel Neuer was injured when he made his comeback Alphonso Davies, who now threatens to miss the World Cup. After the emotional roller coaster ride, Nagelsmann, Neuer and Musiala spoke out.
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann had to take a deep breath after his team’s narrow success.
“It wasn’t an easy game. There were moments when we couldn’t play our football. After a 3-0 lead, we were no longer focused and conceded two quick goals,” he criticized his charges. “It was a game to win and we won it even if we could have made it easier for ourselves.”
Neuer makes a strong comeback: “All of Germany is happy that Manu is back”
Of course, one of the positive aspects was the comeback of the national goalkeeper Manuel Neuerwho played well and had a classic Neuer scene just before the end outside the penalty area.
“He’s the captain and very important to us on and off the pitch. He’s still the best goalkeeper in the world. We’re glad he’s back and we’re also glad we have Ulle as a backup, who is too did a very good job. All of Germany is happy that Manu is back,” Nagelsmann commented on the comeback.
Neuer himself was also happy to be back between the posts, although of course he wasn’t entirely satisfied with the two goals conceded.
“It was nice to be back on the pitch. I would have wished for a clean sheet, but there was a lot of tension today,” explained the 36-year-old.

The fact that Bayern managed to take three points despite conceding two goals is largely due to Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who again scored two goals. While some think the Cameroonian fell into a magic potion, Nagelsmann takes a sober view of the player’s condition.
“He’s always had those qualities but in recent months he’s had injuries, Covid, the Africa Cup of Nations and he lacked the rhythm. When he’s fit we know what his qualities are – so I’m not surprised. For me these performances are a logical consequence of his fitness,” he explained.
Another match winner was Jamal Musiala, who scored the goal to make it 1-0 and also knew how to shine with his grandiose technique.
“I always try to do my best. I always want to help the team. I can still improve, score more goals and improve my game in general. I’m working on that,” he said after the game tz-Editor Philipp Kessler modestly.
Concerns about Davies: “At least a hamstring tear”
The only concern for Bayern after the final whistle was the injury-related substitution of Alphonso Davies. Nagelsmann explained that, according to the team doctor, it was “at least one fiber tear “Now further scans tomorrow should show the exact extent of the injury. This will mean that the first half of the season will be over for the Roadrunner. Of course, it would be important for the player personally that he be up to WM-Prelude gets fit.
