It could be said that goalkeepers have more flying hours than outfield players. Neuer still has full trust from Bayern Munich and also the German national team to fill the main goalkeeper position. He still wants to play even though he is 37 years old, of course the physical strength and reflexes possessed by players of that age will decrease due to age.
Neuer prowess when guarding the crossbar reminds me of Buffon, these two players have the same characteristics, they can both maintain their performance even though they are old. Neuer position is still very difficult for other goalkeepers to shift, the negative impact of his consistent performance could hamper the regeneration of the goalkeepers for Bayern Munich and the German national team.
Talking about this goalkeeper, we don't need to doubt it anymore. Moreover, when Bayern Munich was at the top and won the Champions League trophy. during the era of Ribery and Arjen Roben. also, in the Lewandowski era. Neuer still always makes great saves to protect his goal, and is still loyal to Bayern Munich to this day. Apart from that, he was also a mainstay of the German national team squad, especially during his prime.
Unfortunately, now he has suffered a serious injury so he has to be absent for a long time after a skiing accident. At almost 38 years old, a broken leg will take quite a long time to recover. Just imagine, if after he recovered from his injury. He will also still need time to adapt again to his team squad. Even then, if Neuer can return to his form. However, usually after a long injury at this age, football players often experience a decline in performance. If Neuer can return to his original form in goal for Bayern, that would be a blessing for him. However, if it is the other way around, Bayern would be better off preparing an ideal young goalkeeper as a potential successor.
Talking about Buffon, the legendary goalkeeper who was phenomenal, especially when Serie A was at the top compared to other leagues. Buffon is one of the great goalkeepers in football history, he can be very grateful to be able to retire at the age of 45 even though he is no longer with a top Serie A club.
