Tom Bischof: Manuel Neuer blown away by Bayern Munich talent
"Bischof made his first start in the Bundesliga last week in the 4-0 win over Werder Bremen. Vincent Kompany decided to drop Joshua Kimmich to the bench, and Bischof was given a chance to impress. The former Hoffenheim midfielder started alongside Leon Goretzka, and he was brilliant on the night, as he provided an assist as well."
"The technically gifted midfielder was solid with his defensive duties and looked dangerous every time he carried the ball forward. He covered a total distance of 13.23 kilometres and played with so much confidence. In the end, he provided the assist for Konrad Laimer's goal and made a strong impression. In terms of stats, he made 96 total touches, registered 92 per cent accuracy of his 84 passes, and attempted a total of three shots against Bremen."
"Manuel Neuer raves about Tom Bischof The Bayern goalkeeper was full of praise for the youngster, and hailed him as a "special" player. He said (via MiaSanSia): "He always gives it his all in training and is a special player who can be very dangerous in the box. He has taken a good step with his starting debut today - for himself and for the team.""
