Nagelsmann's Actions End Neuer's DFB Comeback
7 Apr
Summary
- Lothar Matthäus believes Manuel Neuer will not return to the national team.
- Matthäus cites Julian Nagelsmann's behavior as the reason for zero comeback chances.
- Neuer's 40th birthday oversight by Nagelsmann is highlighted as a major rift.
Lothar Matthäus believes Manuel Neuer's potential return to the German national team is definitively over. Matthäus asserts that the chances for Neuer to don the national colors again are now zero.
He attributes this impossibility directly to the conduct of the current national team manager, Julian Nagelsmann. Matthäus highlighted a specific incident where Nagelsmann appeared unaware it was Manuel Neuer's 40th birthday on the day of a match.
This perceived lapse in recognition by Nagelsmann, who is quoted as asking 'Who's turning 40 today?', has been described by Matthäus as an insurmountable breach. He feels this has created a situation too damaged for any reconciliation, effectively ending any hope of Neuer's DFB comeback.
