Munich – Before the match between FC Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen, who would have thought that Manuel Neuer of all people would have a leading role? After all, Werder had already accomplished the feat in the past of not even shooting at goal at the Allianz Arena. But on Saturday everything was different and everyone involved agreed that the match probably would not have ended 1: 1 without Neuer.
„Manuel Neuer for me he is the best goalkeeper in Germany and in the world that has ever existed. He proved it today. And he is also part of the team. That’s why Bayern got a point and we didn’t win, ”said Florian Kohfeldt. The coach of SV Werder Bremen he had previously been placed between the posts, although not in the Bundesliga, but only in the Bremen League. “After ten minutes, he immediately shows a crazy reflex,” Kohfeldt recalled of the double possibility of Josh sargent and Ludwig Augustinsson. Neuer was there in no time, first with his foot, then with his hand. He also reacted brilliantly in the second half when Sargent appeared free in front of him again.
Werder Bremen vs FC Bayern: only Maximilian Eggestein beats strong Manuel Neuer
“Manu showed his class in the first half, but also in the second half,” Bayern coach Hansi Flick also praised his goalkeeper, which he probably didn’t expect before the game. But Bremen always managed to get dangerously in front of the Champions League winner’s goal. And once there was even a Manuel Neuer, who played his 400th competitive game for FC Bayern, was helpless when Sargent’s marvelously played Maximilian Eggestein sent the ball from 15 meters with a low shot into the far corner. “Against the best goalie Scoring a goal in the world is, of course, something special ”, enthused the scorer of the SV Werder Bremen and he knew very well what he had accomplished there.
Meanwhile, Neuer was upset about this “very, very cheap goal” for him. FC Bayern. However, the 34-year-old was not referring to Eggestein’s graduation, but to creation. Leon Goretzka had allowed Werders Sargent to take a throw-in. That annoyed Neuer, who wasn’t talking about himself or his shows, but everyone else had been doing it for a long time. Especially annoying from Manuel Neuer’s point of view: had he played zero, it would have been his 196th match without conceding a goal in the Bundesliga, which would have set the record for Bayern legend Oliver Kahn.
