Former Germany international Oliver Kahn has said that Manuel Neuer should walk away from football on a high if Bayern Munich wins the UCL trophy this season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is not sure Neuer truly needs to endure one last World Cup campaign in his 40s because the ultimate swansong lies in European club success rather than another trip to the international stage.
Kahn added that Manuel is already a world champion, so it should not be a painful decision in the summer.
His words, “Is that now not the perfect time, to take all the titles with Bayern again and then really exit at the very highest point at which one can exit?
Do I still need a World Cup in the USA with over 40 degrees in the shade? Do I still have to put myself through that? Those are the thoughts that I think he is making for himself at the moment.
If he wins the Champions League again with Bayern now, it would be his third title. He is a world champion. Then it would be smart to say: ‘That was it now.’ That is also an art for an athlete.”
WOW.
