“I took my time over the decision and am now very happy. Everything is just right here: with this team, we can beat anyone; I enjoy going to Säbener Straße every day and I’m performing to the best of my ability. In our goalkeeping team, we stick together and try to keep raising the bar, constantly pushing each other and preparing ourselves as well as possible for the games,” Neuer told FCBayern.

Now, everyone will be focused on whether or not he decides to play with the Germany national team this summer at the World Cup.
