Eberl confirms: Neuer is still Bayern Munich's number one despite his mistake against Augsburg
Max Eberl, the sporting director of Bayern Munich, has confirmed that the goalkeeping hierarchy in the team has not changed, despite the performance that Manuel Neuer delivered during the match against Augsburg, emphasizing that the German goalkeeper is still the club's first choice.
Eberl stated in remarks reported by "Bild": "There is absolutely no reason to doubt anything just because Manuel made a mistake now. Jonas is developing exceptionally, and Manu has played a very big role in that."
"Manuel Neuer is still our number one goalkeeper. Without exaggeration, the way we have developed Jonas Oerbig, despite having a world-class goalkeeper like Manuel Neuer, is quite remarkable."
Eberl continued: "The combination of the status that Jonas has now reached, the experience he is already gaining, and the excellent performances he has delivered in his appearances with the national team is truly exceptional. So far, our plan is going as we envisioned it."
