Bayern legend: Neuer, who is nearly 40 years old, is still a world-class player and no one in Germany can replace him

October 19th Bayern legendary goalkeeper Pfaff expressed his views on the current situation of German goalkeepers in an interview. He praised his old club's current goalkeeper Neuer, but expressed deep concerns about the backup strength of Germany's goalkeeper position.

How do you evaluate Neuer, who is about to turn 40?

He is still world-class "of course".

Do you think anyone in Germany can replace him?

I "have not seen any goalkeeper" in Germany who can truly replace Neuer.

What do you think of the overall level of German goalkeepers? It seems not as good as before.

Now if you ask in Germany how good your goalkeepers are, many people will not be able to answer. In the past, Germany had many excellent goalkeepers. For example, I don’t even know who the goalkeeper is in Kaiserslautern, Cologne or Hamburg. This was completely different before.

In your opinion, what qualities does a good goalkeeper need to possess?

A good goalkeeper must bring victory to the team "in at least six to seven games" a season, and he himself must perform well "even when the team is not performing well."
