Manuel Neuer expecting a hostile reception on his return to Veltins Arena – Bundesliga news
Bayern Munich goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 is expecting a hostile reception when he returns to his former club, Schalke. The two clubs are set to meet each other on Sunday, September 10.
Neuer parted ways with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues during the summer in favour of the Bavarian giants. He is now gearing up for his biggest challenge in a Die Roten jersey.
The 25-year-old believes that Schalke fans will not be as good as they were when he travelled to the same venue with the German national side, last month, to take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858. Neuer is confident of overcoming the situation and wished to leave his hometown
club on a winning note.
The player also expressed delight at the start which Schalke have made to this year’s campaign. He tipped Sunday’s game as the most important game of his career and is confident of achieving a favourable result over his former teammates.
While talking to the local news paper, Neuer enthused, "I received a nice welcome with the national team but I do not exactly expect that again.”
On the other hand, his new teammates are confident that the youngster can handle the situation smartly. Striker Mario Gomez reckons that the German international has a cool head on his shoulders and will never allow the situation to get better of him.
Gomez, at the same time, also confirmed about the injury he suffered during the Champions League fixture against Villarreal, which might force him to miss Sunday’s encounter.
Winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 van Buyten’s absence is also certain after the player was forced off the field against the Yellow Submarine on the 23rd minute mark.
Gomez concluded his remarks by saying,” Manuel will not be affected. This is not an issue. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 is too cool. He will deliver no matter what external factors there are. Manuel has gathered so much experience in recent years that he will not be put off his
form."
Bayern are currently leading the Bundesliga table with 12 points while Schalke are at the seventh spot with nine points.
