Schlagfertig ist jene Antwort, die so klug ist, dass der Zuhörer wünscht, er hätte sie gegeben!












Behind the scenes at the DFB, there are increasing signs that Julian Nagelsmann could include Manuel Neuer in his World Cup squad. The topic has been, and continues to be, discussed far more intensely and controversially internally than Nagelsmann is willing to portray publicly. FC Bayern are also aware of that. On Monday, the DFB had to submit a preliminary list of 55 players to FIFA, including at least five goalkeepers. The list is not publicly available, but it can be assumed that Neuer's name is on it, along with those of Oliver Baumann, Alexander Nübel, Finn Dahmen, and Jonas Urbig Both Nagelsmann and Neuer have repeatedly insisted that they maintain a good relationship and are in regular contact. The significant tensions that Nagelsmann, then Bayern coach, caused in January 2023 during Neuer's serious leg injury by dismissing his long-time confidant Toni Tapalovic have long since been resolved. Nagelsmann will announce his final squad on May 21st [@kicker]

Niklas Süle recalls how he tricked Bayern regarding his weight: "Jupp Heynckes was a tremendous mentor to me. I played under him, but he also addressed the issue of weight. We had weigh-ins at Bayern on Thursdays. I didn't eat anything all Wednesday, I fasted the whole day. And every evening at home, I went to the sauna – wearing a raincoat. The next day, I weighed two and a half kilos less. That's extreme. The sauna was in the basement. After a day without food and in the sauna wearing a raincoat, I had to go up three flights of stairs to our bedroom. I opened the window, leaned out, and breathed for ten minutes because I thought I was going to faint. Then I played at the weekend, we won, and Heynckes said to me: 'See? you played much better now.' - But the reality is that my weight was exactly the same as before" [Podcast Spielmacher]
