FC Bayern, News: Reporter talks about Neuer interview

Raphael Honigstein led for The Athletic the explosive interview with Manuel Neuer. At sports1 he has now revealed how this came about. Of course he “can’t go into detail, there’s something like journalistic confidentiality in these things. But I think everyone who knows a bit about it knows that something like that doesn’t happen when you see Manuel Neuer on Säbener Straße ambushes.”

Instead, the “impulse already came from the players” and “of course you’re happy when you get this signal”. After the conversation, in which too SZcolleague Philipp Selldorf was involved, it was clear to Honigstein “that this would cause an echo”, but not the dimensions. In many places there was talk of an attack on those responsible for Bayern, “I didn’t have that impression in the conversation”.

According to Honigstein, Neuer wanted to express: “Something happened here that I don’t agree with, of course we talked about it internally, but that’s not enough here, I want to say it again because I’m not feeling well at the moment and because I I don’t think that’s good.” The interview is also not comparable to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, which should rather be seen as “attacks on the whole club”. In the case of Neuer, it was also about defending “his buddy”, ex-goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic.

Neuer described his dismissal as “the craziest thing I’ve experienced in my career”. For him it was “a blow when I was already on the ground” and a “big disappointment”. “It has to do with the human side, dealing with a deserving employee: At Bayern Munich we want to be different – a family – and then something happens that I haven’t experienced here before. It’s a shame for everyone.”

After PictureThere was a discussion between Neuer and coach Julian Nagelsmann during the week. This was also important because Nagelsmann’s differences with Tapalovic were a major reason for his release. In the exchange between Neuer and Nagelmann, the basis has now been laid for professional cooperation in the future. A conversation with CEO Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic is still pending and should only take place after the Champions League game in Paris next week.
