Alexander Nübel has again commented on his perspective at Bayern Munich and expressly praised Manuel Neuer. In addition, the keeper spoke about his potential chances in the German national team.
“I give everything for it and I already believe that at some point I’ll be number one at Bayern,” said Nübel im Sport1-Podcast “Meine Bayern-Woche” and thus reacted in his own way to the rumors that Manuel Neuer could extend his contract, which was dated until 2023, to 2025 this year.
“The principle of achievement still prevails. As long as he is still the best goalkeeper, he’ll play. Then I won’t have a chance in the next two, five or ten years,” said Nübel, who has been with AS Monaco since the summer on loan and is a regular goalkeeper under coach Niko Kovac.
If Neuer’s working paper is actually expanded, you have to “think carefully about how things will go with Alex. He is currently feeling very much at home in Monaco,” said advisor Stefan Backs recently Evening News.
Nübel also raved about the longstanding number one of the German record champions: “He was and is the best goalkeeper in the world. He is simply a legend.”
Nübel only played four times for Bayern
The 25-year-old moved from Schalke 04 to Isar free of charge in the summer of 2020 and only played four times. Before his move, however, the FCB officials had assured him that one day he would take over from Neuer.
“At some point, they said, we’ll see you as number one,” Nübel said of the conversation at the time and explained: “If Manuel Neuer stops being able to take over his place. That was of course my goal too, that was unanimous. I then made a conscious decision to take the step relatively early in order to learn a little from him. “
Nübel: DFB team? “Isn’t that far yet”
At the beginning of the week, Nübel already had kicker confirms that FC Bayern had promised him “a certain number of games” that “I did not get”. The two-year loan to the Principality was the logical consequence: “Ultimately, the coach always decides. I communicated with him honestly and said that I would do my best and he would decide who would play. Manuel Neuer does not decide whether he will play either give up or not. “
The promotion to the circle of the German national team is still not an issue for Nübel: “If I am invited at some point, I would be very happy,” he emphasized: “But I’m not saying that I will definitely be there in the next few years Like everywhere else, the performance principle applies there. The best are invited and at the moment it’s not that far. “
