Manuel Neuer: The name is still the same but the style is not so!

After his absence from the 2017/18 season, Manuel Neuer is struggling to recover from injury. But will Bayern have enough patience to wait for him?

Manuel Neuer: The name is still the same but the style is not so!
Along with Gianluigi Buffon and Iker Casillas, Neuer is considered the governing body of the goalkeeper. He was even greater than the other two by his totality and revolutionized the position of the temple keeper.

But it was a Neuer of the past, when he had not suffered a serious injury for up to 9 months, from September 2017 to June 2018. Neuer just came back a few days before the Russian World Cup began. But this is a forgettable for both him and Germany when Mannschaft was humiliated in the first round.

The nightmare has not ended with Neuer when he brought back the bad form back to Bayern Munich. From the beginning of the 2018/19 season, the 32-year-old scored 19 goals in 19 matches in all competitions. In the Bundesliga, Neuer has netted 17 times in 12 matches, an unprecedented disaster in his career.

From the start of the season, Neuer has only twice kept a clean sheet in the Bundesliga and in the last 8 games he can not defend Bayern's net. The last time Neuer let this happen was in the 2010/11 season when he was still in Schalke shirt.

For every 64 minutes, Neuer had to get one goal and he had only 15 saves from the start of the season, ranking 18/29 goalkeeper ever played in the Bundesliga this season.

If not because Bayern are no longer a good goalkeeper, perhaps Neuer has lost the main catch for a long time. Christian Fruechtl is still too young (aged 18) while Sven Ulreich has lost faith after the blunders of the Champions League semi-final last season against Real Madrid.

However, before this terrible form of Neuer, many celebrities in Germany have started offering to remove him from the number 1 goalkeeper. Legendary Lothar Matthaeus always said that Neuer should make room for Marc- André ter Stegen in Germany.

Friedhelm Funkel of Fortuna Duesseldorf, who drew Bayern 3-3, said: "He is still the best goalkeeper in Germany. He can only stop one or two tables. "

NHM Bayern also started to feel uncomfortable with Neuer and many of them were campaigning for Ulreich to be picked up despite the bad mistakes last season.

Neuer is not the only one to be held responsible for Bayern's poor form. Defenders like Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels and Niklas Suele are also great disappointments. But he can not justify his forgetfulness.

In his latest statement, Neuer remains confident of his position. But perhaps that self-confidence will not last long if Neuer does not show signs of a strong recovery. At the age of 32, time is still for Neuer but not too long, especially in a fierce team like Bayern.
