"He completely reinvented the game and shaped it in a completely different way. He's been playing among the absolute elite for 15 years. When you see him today at Bayern, with the confidence and charisma that he has, he stands above all other [German goalkeepers] in terms of the overall package and also as a personality."
"Neuer is now retired from Die Mannschaft - Hoffenheim's Oliver Baumann the man most recently charged with filling his shoes - but still going incredibly strong for FC Bayern. (Never mind that mistake against Hoffenheim on Saturday, which did not lead to a goal.) Bayern may be starting to look to the future but the present is all Neuer's, even at age 39."
Manuel Neuer is framed as possibly the greatest goalkeeper of all time, credited with reinventing and reshaping modern goalkeeping. He has performed among the absolute elite for about 15 years and currently remains Bayern Munich’s first-choice keeper at age 39. Neuer retired from the German national team, with Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann most recently tasked with replacing him. A recent mistake against Hoffenheim did not lead to a goal. Neuer has stated he is not up to returning for the next World Cup, though a future change of mind has not been ruled out.
