Lothar Matthäus' Prediction / Ter Stegen's Regret: Neuer's New Successor Revealed!

Lothar Matthäus believes Jonas Urbig is set to succeed Manuel Neuer in the German national team.

According to "Verzeh Se", in the first round of the national games under the direction of Jürgen Klopp, the new head coach of the German national team, this issue had become an important issue: who will protect the goal of the German national team and will replace Manuel Neuer? During the four international matches, Klopp called a total of five goalkeepers (Finn Dahmann, Alexander Noble, Marc-Andre Terstegen, Noah Atuboulou and Jonas Örbig) to the squad. But how will the situation be in the future?

Only three of these five goalkeepers played minutes during the four Nations League games. Terstegen started the game in Amsterdam, Nobel suffered the loss, while Orbig was the only goalkeeper allowed to start two games. Is this a sign of the selection of the new number one goalkeeper?

According to Matheus, this Bayern goalkeeper should soon become the number one goalkeeper of the German national team. In Bild newspaper's "Lothar Starts" program, he praised this young talent: "I don't think there are any more different opinions about this. Orbig is a great goalkeeper at a young age in my opinion and I have said this in the past weeks, especially after the national match in Thessaloniki which I watched live in Greece. "The way he plays reminds me of a young Manuel Neuer."

Orbig, who joined Munich in the winter of 2025, is also getting increasingly more minutes at Bayern. including in the match against Viking in the European Champions League, which ended with a score of 3-3. "He had one or two great performances yesterday as well," Mateusz points out. He cannot be blamed for the missed goals. He has a confident playmaking and at the age of 22, he brings peace to the defensive line. In him, everything is purposeful, calm and with high concentration and high quality."

Therefore, this is certain for this football expert: "That's why he will not only be Neuer's successor at Bayern Munich, but if he becomes the main goalkeeper of this team, he will have more playing minutes and, as a result, his path in the national team will be easier. "Maybe even in the next tournament, as Henning said, as the number one goalkeeper of the national team."
