Manuel Neuer remains the clear choice for Joachim Low, Bayern Munich president who feels that he has been unfairly treated by sections of the German press., and amid calls for him to be replaced by Marc-Andre ter Stegen of Barcelona in the national team. In the same vein, Uli Hoeness wants the German FA (DFB) to throw its support behind Manuel Neuer
The 27-year-old Ter Stegen’s stock has risen in recent times and is being considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Neuer, after long-term injuries kept him out of action for Bayern has faded from many fans’ consciousness.
Ter Stegen had made his displeasure at being number two clear following the recent international break, a public statement which riled Hoeness.
He [ter Stegen] has no claim to play. For the keepers it is different than for the other players, because you can't constantly switch.”
