"I Don't Feel Like Talking About Football": Neuer Breaks Silence on Neuer-Ter Stegen Debate
Bayern Munich and Germany goalkeeper Neuer has finally addressed the ongoing debate around his rivalry with Ter Stegen.
Neuer, who has been Germany's No. 1 since 2010, has faced criticism in recent years from some who believe that Ter Stegen deserves to be the national team's starting goalkeeper.
Neuer has remained silent on the issue until now, but in an interview with Kicker, he finally gave his thoughts on the matter.
"I don't feel like talking about football," Neuer said. "I'm here to enjoy my vacation. I've had a long season, and I'm looking forward to spending time with my family and friends."
Neuer's comments are sure to disappoint those who were hoping for a more definitive answer from the Bayern goalkeeper.
However, it's understandable that Neuer is not interested in discussing football while on vacation. He has had a long and successful season, and he deserves to enjoy his time off.
The debate over Neuer and Ter Stegen is likely to continue for some time. Both goalkeepers are world-class, and it's difficult to say who is the better player.
Ultimately, it's up to Germany coach Joachim Löw to decide who will be his No. 1 goalkeeper. And Löw has made it clear that he has no plans to drop Neuer anytime soon.
So, for now, the Neuer-Ter Stegen debate will have to wait. Neuer is enjoying his vacation, and Ter Stegen is preparing for the new season with Barcelona.
And when the new season starts, we will all be able to see who is the better goalkeeper.
