The goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is considered one of the main promises of German football. Early on, Neuer is regarded as a prodigy at Schalke 04, who's since five years. Frequent presence on selections from the base, he won the shirt holder of the club aged just 20 and became a substitute for Jen Lehmann. In 2007, a year after becoming an owner in your club, Neuer was named best goalkeeper of the German championiship.

His most shining moment occurred the following year at Schalke 04 clash with Porto in the Champions League. After making miraculous saves, goalkeeper took the match to penalty kicks, defending two charges that gave his team a spot in the quarterfinals of the competition.

Manuel Neuer in Munich for signs with his new team

Manuel Neuer’s summer switch from Schalke to Bayern was agreed and announced a week ago, and the last piece of the deal bringing the Germany goalkeeper to the nation’s biggest club fell into place late on Wednesday morning: the 25-year-old passed the obligatory medical in Munich, and signed the five-year contract keeping him in Bavaria until 30 June 2016.

“I’m looking forward to the challenge, to my first training sessions, and to the training camp,” Neuer declared in an exclusive FCB.tv interview. The shot-stopper has only previously been to the Bavarian capital as a visitor, “but I’m not a tourist any more. I know my way around Munich and I think I’ll settle down well here.”

Following Germany’s 3-1 Euro 2012 qualifying victory away to Azerbaijan, Neuer only arrived back in Frankfurt in the small hours of the morning, but immediately flew on to Munich to complete the formalities of his transfer. “I’m fit enough to get though the day, although I’ve not really had enough sleep,” he reported. The four-hour flight from Baku to Frankfurt arrived at around 5 am local time.

Tired but happy

Despite the fatigue, the new signing appeared in upbeat spirits when he met up with FCB director of sport Christian Nerlinger at club head chef Alfons Schuhbeck’s downtown restaurant. Last week’s announcement of his move to Bayern had been “a relief,” Neuer admitted. “I’m delighted it’s all behind me now.”

The Gelsenkirchen-born keeper said no other club had come into consideration, neither in his home country nor abroad. “I’m very happy in Germany, I’m the national team goalkeeper, and Bayern Munich is the best club in Germany. That's why I wanted to join Bayern,” explained Neuer, who is now aiming for “personal success, and success with the club” in the seasons to come.

Bundesliga derby: Dortmund vs Schalke

2011-02-02T18:08:00.000-08:00

Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke 04 is tradicional derby in Germany. But this game is special because there’s interessant thing. The both team made diferents choices at the season beginning and now are in diferent situations at the moment in Bundesliga.

Schalke brought some experienced (or old :P) footballers like Huntelaar and Raul. But the team didn’t play well, lost a lot and was in bad positions on last turn. The team needed some months for improve.

On the other hand, its nothern neighbor Dortmund bet on young footballers and was very lucky in its choice. The team is the fist place at Bundesliga and has revealed talents. Mario Götze (18 years old!) and Kevin Großkreutz already are on DFB-team (German National team) official page. Jürgen Klopp has made a great job with these boys!

However, in Gelsenkirchen, Felix Magath hasn’t the same Kloop luck. Schalke fans are very angry this week with the coach. Well let’s see what happens tomorrow…

Best young German Footballers

2011-01-18T19:17:00.000-08:00

The last post was about german promisses for football in the future but today I'll write about footballers that already are a reality! Everyone remember the last World Cup and the German boys impressioned the whole world with their talent. At the moment, the main players in this position are: Mesut Özil (Real Madrid), Thomas Müller and Toni Kroos (Bayern Munich). Actually, on DFB page there's alot of young players on main team, I'll write about them in the next post.

1. Thomas Müller

Müller was a sucess on last World Cup. But only two years before that, the young player was unknown even in his own land. In one year player took off! He arrived to the Bayern main team for the 2009/2010 season, when he showed his talent for world at the European fields.

2010 was a golden year fot Thomas Müller. He played on March his first match with the Mannschaft shirt, he was one of the most important players in his team on World Cup, he received the Hyundai Best Young Player Award in South Africa and his 5 goals and 2 appearences has gave to him the Golden Boots Award, all that for a 20 years old footballer! Only Pelé overwhelms him with six goals in Sweden in 1958 when he was 17 years old and .Incredible! =D

Currently he’s playing in his team Bayern Munich the Bundesliga (German championiship) and the UEFA Champions League. For the last comp, the next game is against Inter. We hope see more a Thomas Müller show!

2. Mesut Özil

Intelligence, ability, class are only some word for describe the Özil style at the field. At the end of World cup the majority of the biggest Europeam teams wanted to have the boy from Gelsenkirchen. But who won the dispute was José Mourinho and now the Özil is a “galatic”, and with Cristiano ronaldo, Di maria and others awesome players., he is the fans hope titles.

The footballer of Turkish descent participated of U-21 European title in 2009. On 2009/2010 Bundesliga season, the player scored 13 goals and had 8 appearances in werder Bremen, his old team. And now, the footballer is one of the mais pieces of Mourinho in Real Madrid because of the criativity that he brings to the middle of the team. It’s better the Brazilians open the eyes coz Neymar and Ganso aren’t the only young awesome players in this world! :P

3. Toni Kroos

I already have a post here about Toni Kroos, so I’ll write less about this player. He played the U-17 World Cup on 2007 and won the award like the best footballer of the competition. In the 2009/2010 season, when he was only 19 years old, the young boy was already a professional and was a sucess on Bayer Leverkusen team. He also was in last World cup with the German team and in currently season he’s playing in the biggest team from germany with Thomas Müller. Kroos isn’t more the German football future but already is the present. As the Bayern as the German National team needs him on middlefield.

He is my favorite!!! ♥♥♥

The 18 years old midfielder was convocated for a friendly against Sweden on last year, marking his debut in die Nationalmannschaft. But the footballer has excelled himself is in bundesliga, unbalancing the game for the club from Dortmund city. ball control, intelligence, and refined technique are just some of the characteristics that mark the Mario Götze football.

The basis of the succes of Mainz 05 in the early games were the team's young talent. And it stood out André Schürrle and Lewis Holtby. They impressed their country since the beginning of league for his ability.

Holtby was on at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Egypt 2009 and scored 3 goals on that competition. In just 9 matches at German championiship he had 7 assists and 2 goals.

His next step is the senior national team, which could come soon. “Players like (Andre) Schürrle and Holtby in Mainz have moved very close to the national team. It is great to see what is developing right now in Mainz,” German national team coach Joachim Löw told the Bild daily on 29 September 2010.

He already had his first chance in the end of the last year, on a friendy against Sweden (the same one of Götze game). Actually, Lewis is the Germany U-21 captain.

2010: A fantastic year for "die Mannschaft"

2011-01-01T17:19:00.000-08:00

wow already is 2011!!! =D

Certainly 2010 was a incredible year for die Mannschaft (German team). The third place on World Cup, the Golden Boot for Thomas Müller, one of the many youngs revelations on last year, to finish the year on the first place in its group in Euro 2012 qualifiers... It was more one great year for our dear team ^^


Thomas Müller celebrating a goal in South Africa

Can you imagine the German team with all these talented young footballers in Brazil or in Euro 2012? =D

To see players that impressed in South Africa at such a young age like Toni Kroos and Marko Marin with more experience. Müller for example, is named as the greatest revelation in world football in 2010. Brazil in 2010 didn't reveal that many players as Germany. So in my next post I'll write about these German boys that are shaking these Bundesliga season ^^)

Why did I create this blog?

2010-12-14T16:53:00.000-08:00

Lukas Podolski trainning in his currently team, FC Köln.

First of all, coz I always loved it! they are my fav team!^^

But what motivated me to create this blog was well-deserved recognition of the art and skill of the mannschaft (German team) on the South African fields

Speaking the names of those players is definitely a challenge hehe (announcers say that) but being an extremely young team with many players not passing the age of 25, surely many of these will be in our World Cup in 2014, and with much more experience. So it is good to keep an eye not only them but also in the new talent that has come up every day Germany.

And certainly this the cutest team of world!!!!!!!!!! xD
