Manuel Neuer Retires from German National Team, New Era for Ter Stegen


Manuel Neuer decision to retire from the German national team could pave the way for Marc Andre ter Stegen to become the number one goalkeeper. Neuer announced his decision to hang up his gloves on the German national team through a video upload on his personal Instagram.


"Today marks the end of my career in the national team. I feel proud and very grateful to have played with all my teammates and been the captain of the national team for more than seven years," said Neuer.


Manuel Neuer is a professional footballer from Germany who is known as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He was born on March 27, 1986 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Neuer is the captain and main goalkeeper of the Bayern Munich club and the German national team.


Neuer is known for his very modern playing style for a goalkeeper, often acting as a "sweeper-keeper." This means that he not only guards the goal, but also actively plays a role in organizing his team's defense, often moving far from the goal area to cut off opponent attacks or distribute the ball with high accuracy.


Neuer made his debut for the German national team on June 2, 2009. At that time, Germany won 7-2 over the United Arab Emirates in a friendly match.




A year later, Neuer was named Die Mannschaft's main goalkeeper at the 2010 World Cup. Since then, his position has been irreplaceable under the German goalpost, except when injured.


Ter Stegen, who performed impressively in Barcelona, ​​had to be willing to be a sweetener on the German squad's bench. This is because Neuer was so consistent with Bayern and was often named the best goalkeeper by the Ballon d'Or and FIFA Awards.





The competition for the number one goalkeeper in the German national team is always an interesting topic. The story of Neuer and Ter Stegen seems to repeat the long rivalry between Oliver Kahn and Jens Lehmann.


Lehmann had to wait a long time to become the main goalkeeper to replace Kahn who was so dominant. Now, the story is repeating itself with Ter Stegen who is ready to replace Neuer.


Ter Stegen also said goodbye and respect to Neuer who officially retired from his international career.


"Congratulations @manuelneuer for your career with @dfb_team. Forever a world champion and a legend of German football," Ter Stegen wrote on Instastory.


Ter Stegen has a great chance of becoming the main goalkeeper for the German national team even though he has to compete with Oliver Baumann (Hoffenheim), Bernd Leno (Fulham), and Alexander Nubel (Stuttgart).


In addition to his technical skills, Neuer is also known for his calmness on the field and his leadership, both at club and national team. He is considered one of the best goalkeepers of all time, thanks to his extraordinary ability in keeping the goal and his contribution to the team's overall game.
