Manuel Neuer is not doing so well at the moment. The World Cup in Qatar was not only a disappointment from a sporting point of view. As the wearer of the captain’s armband, Neuer was also put at the center of an attitude debate that eventually lost all measure. To relieve frustration, Neuer then took out the touring skis, broke his lower leg – and has been limping on crutches ever since instead of flying through his five-meter space. Meanwhile, a decision is being made at Bayern Munich – the dismissal of his close confidant Toni Tapalovic – that Neuer cannot or does not want to understand, but which pulls him down even further emotionally. The goalkeeper has now spoken about all of this in a highly acclaimed interview.
