The prediction of the former German player/bad news for the Bayern star: Neuer is not short

Rene Adler says Manuel Neuer is not going to easily make way for Jonas Orbig.

Adler will not be surprised if the apparently smooth generational change in the goal of Germany's most proud club soon faces an obstacle, according to "Sports Three". Speaking to RTL and Sky Sports, the former goalkeeper of the German national team said: "If the discussions that are now being discussed in the media affect the atmosphere inside the club, I can imagine that Manuel Neuer will enter competitive mode again, as we have seen in the past.

I expect him to come and say: Come on, even if this might be my last year, I'm not going to give up this position so easily and I'm not going to roll out the red carpet for you now. "Manuel Neuer is still a tough competitor more than he does and always will be."

Requests to increase the opportunity of Jonas Orbig to play are increasing day by day. Last weekend, Neuer made a shocking and historic mistake in a 2-2 draw against Augsburg that led to the fastest goal in Bundesliga history. This experienced goalkeeper also had an unsuccessful performance in the scene of the opponent's second goal.

Vincent Kompany, head coach of Bayern Munich, welcomes this discussion. The Belgian head coach said in a press conference before the Bundesliga match against Leipzig, while supporting Orbig: "This is good for us. We said the same when he came here from Cologne two years ago in January. Bayern Munich expected such a discussion a year ago. This is also a good thing."

Orbig has found the back of the net three times for Bayern Munich this season, the last of which was in Neuer's absence in a disappointing 3-3 draw against Vikings in the Champions League. He is expected to play on Saturday. The 40-year-old Neuer was absent from the team's last training session on Friday.

Adler believes Orbig can follow Neuer's path in the long run. However, the 41-year-old former Germany goalkeeper advised Bayern to sign an experienced goalkeeper as a second option to "reduce the risk of Jonas Orbig becoming number one". He mentioned Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann and Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno, whose futures have been rumored recently.

Neuer has repeatedly hinted in recent weeks and months that he wants to retire next summer. However, he has not yet made his final decision. Orbig has long been known as his "chosen successor".
