"This version of Neuer is world-class. He belongs in the national team. I hope Nagelsmann watched the game. I would indeed like to see Manuel Neuer in this form at the World Cup."
"But I also know that this won't happen. Julian Nagelsmann won't open that door. And that's why Manuel's words about retiring remain set in stone."
"The feud started all the way back when Nagelsmann was coach of FC Bayern, where he used his influence to sack goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalović while Neuer was out injured due to a skiing accident."
Manuel Neuer's impressive performance against Real Madrid has reignited calls for his inclusion in the German national team for the World Cup. Lothar Matthäus praised Neuer's world-class form but expressed doubt about his return due to Julian Nagelsmann's influence. The tension between Neuer and Nagelsmann stems from a past incident involving the dismissal of Neuer's goalkeeping coach, which Neuer perceived as a betrayal. The future of Neuer's international career remains uncertain as discussions about his potential retirement continue.
