William Hill: Neuer is still the number one goalkeeper and the player is important to the team
The goalkeeper position also has an important place in a club, especially for the big clubs, a strong goalkeeper can bring a stable contribution to the team over the course of many years of competition.
For a club like Bayern Munich, in the past years, many goalkeepers wanted to grab the starting goalkeeper seat of Bayern Munich in Neuer's hands, but it turned out that only Neuer has a high degree of adaptability to this team, even if the goalkeeper has lost the physical stability of his peak in the course of the game, and the occasional injury has proved that the player will hand over the Bayern Munich goalkeeper's position as the first choice at some point in the future. It's just that in the current reality, Neuer is the goalkeeper that this team cannot do without.
In the past game, unless the player himself encountered special circumstances and could not play, in other games, the team would consider this player as a guard on the goalkeeper line to start him, in other words, in the hearts of Bayern Munich fans, Bayern Munich without Neuer is incomplete, because this player is already an indelible symbol in the current team.
In fact, although Neuer's current physical condition is no longer at his peak and can make some imaginative moves, the goalkeeper who proves that he has been contributing to the team on the goalline for a long time is the player who knows the current situation of the team and the player habits of the entire team.
In other words, in the past league process, Bayern Munich considered rectifying other positions in the team, but in the goalkeeper position, they did not consider taking the player from the starting goalkeeper position.
The biggest problem that plagued the goalkeeper was the decline in physical function, which could lead to some misjudgments in the reflexes during the game.
So we see that some of his behavior habits in the process of the game began to converge, he will no longer take the initiative to rush or the number of active attacks has begun to decrease, he will more direct the teammates next to him to start running.
Today, Neuer has come to feel more like a captain of a team than a player who uses his imagination to do the job of goalkeeper.
Although the history of the German national team and FC Bayern Munich has produced countless outstanding goalkeepers, Neuer is definitely the most creative goalkeeper among them.
As long as he is on the goalkeeper line, fans will always expect him because every touch he touches during the game has a chance to help the team complete a quick counter-attack.
Although many German football juniors have used Neuer as a model in the goalkeeper industry, the goalkeeper known for his reflexes is not a result that a junior player can imitate at will, it takes a long period of time to accumulate games and think about the sport.
The sense of security he brings to a team is his love of football and responsibility for the goal behind him. If Neuer does make the decision to leave the club, the fans will surely thank him with the most cheerful applause.
