“Once he made it back on the pitch I really knew he’d be back for the home Euros. His goalkeeping play, his anticipation is really unique. He’s in a league of his own”, said Tuhcel about Neuer.
On Thursday (14), Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann said that there is still no decision as to whether Neuer or Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Barcelona’s goalkeeper, will be the team’s number one.
As well as celebrating his call-up, Neuer is also celebrating the birth of his first child on Thursday. “Manu will come back tomorrow and will stand in the goal inspired by fatherhood”, added Tuchel.
