Julian Buhl reports from Glasgow
Bayern captain Manuel Neuer Almost everything has experienced in his career. However, an away game at Celtic Glasgow is not one of them. Not yet. The 38-year-old world champion will be at the playoff first leg in Scotland on Wednesday (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker near T-Online) before his premiere in Celtic Park. The last game of Bayern there in 2017 had missed it due to injury.
Accordingly, on Tuesday evening, he looked ahead of his debut at the press conference in Celtic Park at the press conference in Celtic Park. “I talked to Thomas Müller about 2017 and he told me about the impressive atmosphere,” said Neuer. “I am now looking forward to tomorrow, football history and the story that Celtic wrote – that’s something special for me to play here.”
Jonas Urbig, who was addressed to Winterne new to Winter, also confirmed a consultation with the club in terms of operations by the German U21 national goalkeeper.
“If he had already played with Bayern this season, he would have had a few games,” he said, adding grinning: “Because of my lock in the cup, it will be at least two next season.” Neuer had seen the red card after an emergency brake in the DFB Cup in the DFB Cup in the DFB Cup against Bayer Leverkusen and is blocked in the competition for two games. A lock that he can only serve by leaving Bavaria in the coming season.
Then Neuer confirmed: “There is an agreement and of course we try that Jonas can develop. This is only possible if he also plays. And that is only possible in consultation with the coach and the goalkeeper team that he also plays.” Neuer continues: “I think it is very good, he has been very integrated in a current season. It is not normal for a goalkeeper to be added during the winter break, it doesn’t exist often.”
