This guy

This guy is a complete legend! In an interview to Kicker magazine he was asked about Ballon d'Or and he answered: "I'm a football player, not the endorser of a brand, even though I'm sponsored by Adidas. I'm not a man to pose in underwear"...

What a genius!

Well, this is awkward ...barely 2 months ago, posing in his underwear. Idiot!

You do know, that this is his wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Berlin?

Doesn't matter. It's still a silly thing to say. What does posing in underwear has to do with football activities and Ballon D'or. And it's not only about CR ...If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all!

I disagree entirely. I would be bored out of my ass each day if I were only allowed to say nice things to and about people.

What you have to understand is that no footballer is usually ringing the doorbells of certain journalists at saturday evening with Pizza and beer to tell them what they have on their mind.
Every interviewer will try to ask questions which could lead to a response that can make a headline of their articles and that grabbs attention, in either a positive or negative way. Footballers are usually trained to avoid that and give boring, useless standard phrases. The interviewers on the other side will try to get the player relaxed and win his trust, so that he feels comfortable and that way some unconventional response will slip out accidentally, because they start to act more like their natural selves.

The interview was about the Ballon D'Or and therfor him competing with Ronaldo for it. The interviewer asked wether he would do some sort of promotion off the pitch to get recognition, Neuer forgot himself a bit and joked about him not doing underwear ads, because hes no brand ambassador, without any sort of offensive meaning. Unlike Ronaldo or Messi hes not used to that whole attention, the two know already that every word will be used against them thats why they hardly talk about other players or teams even in a positive way. Neuer took it to easy and it was still no drama what he said. In all honesty, I think this is completely irrelevant and not worth a debate about class or whatever.

He wasnt responding to Cristiano Ronaldo

He was asked why isnt he posing in underwear, nice little media trap. Now he is getting bashed...

"Ich muss sagen, dass Manuel Neuer nicht nur mit Abstand der beste Torwart ist, mit dem ich je zusammengespielt habe, sondern auch als ein elfter Feldspieler überragend ist. Zusammen mit David Alaba hat er mich am meisten bei Bayern überrascht,", so Alonso.

Für die Wahl zum Weltfussballer drückt der ehemalige Welt- und Europameister seinem neuen Teamkollegen die Daumen. "Wenn Manuel gewinnen würde, wäre es auf jeden Fall gerecht" sagte der Mittelfeldspieler.

Xabi Alonso: "I have to say, not only is Manuel Neuer the best goalkeeper by far whom I ever played with, but also sublime as an eleventh pitch player. He and David Alaba habe surprised me the most at Bayern."
...
"If Manuel wins, it would definitely be well-deserved in any case."

Casillas is gonna like Xabi even more.

He is honest , cassilas is nowhere where neuer is now and never be. He just did some saves but Neuer is changing goalkeeping to another level.

Even Kahn said that he wasnt that good at neuers age, neuer will end his career as best ever Goalkeeper

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

I just noticed that I forgot to mention that Alonso is referring to the Balon d'Or in the latter part.

as best ever? can you tell me how many world class goalkeepers you have watched in your life?

I'd be all for Neuer winning it just to see Ronaldo's face

You know as well as any other around here that nobody before him put every single aspect of goalkeeping together in one neat package at such a high level respectively.
