Manuel Neuer Portrait

FC Bayern means to me… …pure success. The advantage of measuring 1.93m is… …that you’re tall. When a striker comes running towards me all by himself, I think to myself… …it’s all or nothing! Facing a penalty shoot-out I feel… …when I’m in the goal, I feel good. When I’m shooting, I feel a little worse. The hype about me leaving the penalty area… …doesn’t interest me much when I’m doing it. If I get that far away from the goal… …I have to *** the ball. As a goalkeeper I can still improve… …everything. My biggest game so far has been… …that’s hard to say, but probably the World Cup Final. Dieser Patzer hat mich besonders geärgert… …I get upset about every slip-up. How many gloves do you go through in a season? …in one week two to three pairs - if there are three matches. As a striker facing Manuel Neuer I would… …not score a goal. When I’m on vacation, I like to… …relax. When I read news stories about me in the paper… …I don’t. My favorite food is… …Italian cuisine. I laugh about… …myself. In the shower, I sing… …folk songs, preferably with Gerald Asamoah. My best experience with the fans was… …celebrating the title with the fans on the balcony of Munich’s city hall is always a special occasion. The question I’ve been asked most times was… What time is it?
