Your pronunciation of his name sounds perfect to me, as a Dutch guy with just basic knowledge of German. Maybe Germans will find ways to improve on it, but I'm confident enough to say it's very close for international standards and certainly much closer than how I've heard people butcher other names. The same goes for Dortmund, which is a German city, and a football named after it is very probably from there indeed.
These saves are great, but this is not his peak. There are wayyyyy better saves
David Raya conceded the fewest goals in the EPL last season
When the goalkeeper is the last defense he approaches the attacker and shortens the distance and that makes him to an bigger obstacle
and that worsens the angle from the attacker to the goal.
If he stays on the "line" the attacker has all opportunities, so he approaches to force a duell.
Btw: in the so called "5meter zone" the attacker isn't allowed to attack the goalkeeper himself in a duell. So it's like his prime zone.
the bigger square is the "25meter zone". In this big space the goalkeeper is allowed to play the ball with his hands.
Playing the ball by hand outside this zone would result in a red card for the goalkeeper.
Minute 4:00 – He can stay behind the line, but it's pointless… the more advanced you are, the more space you can cover… The drawback is that if you go to far ahaed the can chop the ball over you with a lob or pass the ball to another player on the other side… thus it's all a matter of balance to go near the attacker but not too near
very meh video
Great goalkeeper but not the best. Buffon is the best in the last decades and one of the best in the history.
My friend and I have a running gag / saying whenever we catch a game live and one of the goalkeepers makes a mistake that leads to a goal, it's "Neuer hätte den gehabt" which literally translates to "Neuer would've gotten that one", so yeah I would say, especially because he's also the national goalkeeper and saved Germany's ass quite a few times, that he's very respected in Germany, but also in the whole world because he shows his prowess internationally as well. This is what the German wikipedia page has to say about him (which I translated):
"Neuer is considered one of the best goalkeepers of all time. In particular, his offensive, playful interpretation of the goalkeeping position is regarded as revolutionary. Neuer was named World Goalkeeper of the Decade 2011-2020 by the IFFHS, as well as World Goalkeeper of the Year in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2020, making him the record holder along with Gianluigi Buffon (Italy) and Iker Casillas (Spain). He was also named FIFA World Goalkeeper of the Year in 2020 and has been voted Germany's Footballer of the Year twice so far. Neuer is one of the 10 German players with the most appearances for the national team."
It is pretty rare for a goalkeeper to be named the FOOTBALLER of the year because, as you said, the spotlight usually belongs to playmakers and scorers. This compilation also didn't really do him justice. I would recommend checking out FC Bayern München's official Best of videos ("Manuel Neuer – His Best Saves! | FC Bayern " from 6 years ago and "Manuel Neuer: 11 seasons, 11 incredible saves" from 2 years ago) – these are both way better because I would bet they blow your mind from an offensive and defensive perspective and make you question even more why you slept on soccer for so long 😂
The goal net is 7.32 meter wide (24 foots) and 2.44 meter high (8 foots)
Pat Jennings could catch a football in one hand
terrible compilation. 10% great saves, 80 % common stuff and even a couple blunders are included
Someone who plays for Bayern Munich has to be the best in his trade. Munich has been German Champion countless times and the have the deepest pockets of all clubs in the 1. League. Their players are among the best you can get for money world wide.
Neuer was surely a good goal keeper. But if you want to see the champions, you should look for "Gianluigi Buffon", "Edwin Van Der Sar", "Iker Casillas", "Petere Smhmeichel", "Lev Yashin"
Minute 6:25 – They're called "Penalty area" and "Small penalty area"
In my unbiased opinion as a Schalke fan, I think Manuel Neuers best games were in the Champions League quarterfinal against FC Porto and semi final against Manchester United. Even Sir Alex Furgeson said afterwards that was the best performance of a goalkeeper he's ever seen in a game.
And he has Merican Soccer playing in the background, what a guy. First the campfire when its 345367 degrees (either celsius or freedomheit) now Merican soccer 😀 I love it!
Lot of recency bias in these comments. The best goalkeeper ever was Gordon Banks, who helped England win the World Cup in 1966. One of the current best keepers is Alisson Becker, who plays for Liverpool. Compilations like these are ok as far as they go, but a big part of the goalie's responsibility is distributing the ball after the save. As you saw, Neuer has a throw on him, but modern keepers need to be as good with their feet as an outfield player.
Most players can get away with a mistake, because there's somebody behind them to fix things; when a keeper makes a mistake it's almost certainly going to give away a goal.
Along with the agility and strength (wrists, hands and fingers take a lot of hits from high-speed balls), experience counts for a lot; knowing when to move out to intercept a ball, narrowing the shooting angle, anticipating where the ball's about to go and knowing exactly when to launch yourself. Goalkeepers generally get better as they get older, and are often among the oldest players on the team.
footy season in europe is bouta start soon
Walking out of the goal towards a striker reduces their area of attack.
Again with the "kicking the ball" 😀 sounds so goofy. Like saying Michael Jordan throws the ball at the hoop. It's shooting. Edit: you said shooting later on
3:42 Yes he would be allowed to do that, but thats usually not recommended, because the further he is in goal, the further he has to jump to the side to get the ball.
Means if he goes out, he can heavily reduce the space the attacker has left to score. But if he overdoes, the attacker can put the ball over him in the goal for example.
The goal would also be pretty much empty then, from the perspective of a better positioned mate of the attacker.
So it depends on the exact situation and a really good keeper would make the attacker feel like, that there is no space left to score so to say and the defenders should care about the other opponents on the field.
Neuer played for FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga before his twentieth birthday. When younger he was known for his far throws. He easily threw the ball across the half way line. He also was one of the first to adopt handball goalkeeper techniques using his legs just as much as his hands. And he's known for him playing far in front of his goal often outside, the "box", the 15 meter area (the area where he's allowed to touch the ball with his hands).
Shots that touch the ground just in front of a goalkeeper are very hard.
What all goalies have in common: They´re totally mad!🤣
He is in my humble opinion the best keeper in the world and im not German ore a beyern fan
Fellow german here… great channel, great reactions. But Soccer sucks. Just plain boring.
You might want to react to Leon Draisaitl from the Edmonton Oilers? That´s the guy, buddy =)
Keep up your great vids!
Cheers!
A professional football weights roughly 15 ounces and has a pressure of 14-16 psi inside. There were shots measured with over 85 miles per hour. And as you can see in this video, he sometimes only touches the ball with his fingers / fingertips: You need to have strong muscles in your arms, hands and fingers to widstand that power of impact!
he is just 6ft 4 205lbs
That's a really bad complication the "Neuer things" aren't in this video. He is by far the best goalkeeper in the world with his foot
Yes, i think Manuel Neuer is one of the best keepers of all time ! And… i´m not even a fan of German Fußball…
They didnt even show his saves against Arsenal and Porto.
Manuel is the best ! ….but the most crazy keeper was Rene Higuita from Colombia, with his scorpion kick defense !

Sorry but everyone in the world who knows just a little bit about football, knows Bayern Munich and Manuel Neuer. There's a lot to learn young Palawan.
I saw this video of an American trucker going through UK’s Truck Festival and immediately thought of you. https://youtu.be/GZRHjhoURz0?si=EfbqVqtvMLy7OAs9
the small 5m box is just a special area where the goalie has special rights like you cant block him with your body or something like that. The 16m box is the area where he can use hands. And dont worry the small circle thing at the 16m box, thats just for the 11m penalty and only the shooter can stand inside to run at the ball. Almost not important that one. Same as the middle circle, thats just for kick off relevant after a goal and the enemy cant stand inside.
And the goalie can go wherever he wants. Its usually like when someone runs at you as a goalie you want to go out in his direction to make the angle he can use to shoot a goal smaller. When you have defenders near you its usually better to stay in the goal.
he can go behind the goal line but its neuer, the question is, is he allowed to go past the midway line. neuer changed what a goalkeeper is , before neuer a goalkeeper was often glued to that line, after neuer golakeepers are just another player who occationaly use theire hands..somethign that is very poorly shown in this video.
Its a nice video, but it lags the real importance of the gameplay Manuel Neuer puts on the position of a goalie! He revolutionized the position and how a goalie interacts with the game. For example he reguraly leaves the area where a goalkeeper can touch a ball with his hands and intercepts an attack by foot or starts an attack by foot. The video shows why he is called "The Wall" , but look for videos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpXqVKhijVQ
You're 100% correct on balls skipping along the grass being tricky to catch. The first thing you learn as a goalkeeper is to keep your body behind the ball when trying to scoop it up so that your body blocks it and prevents a goal if you fail to catch it. It might still lead to a dangerous rebound if you fail to catch it but at least you prevented the ball from going straight in.
The most extreme and funniest example of this is in a video here on Youtube called "Stan Collymore scores the strangest goal ever seen at Ewood Park".
Not sure if you can post links in the comments. But I'll give it a try.

Good keeper from Schalke, who choose the wrong club..😜 Good, but not the best for my point of view. Marc ter Stegen is much better..
In the past, the goalkeepers were the people who were always chosen last for the team as a child. In the past, a goalkeeper wasn't expected to move much, so it was enough if he was good at preventing goals. That is no longer the case today. Today people want goalkeepers who play in the higher leagues. Especially since most teams changed their basic system from so-called man-marking to so-called zonal marking 20-30 years ago. In the past you had a player who was called a “libero”. This only exists in amateur football today. As a result, the goalkeeper sometimes has to take on defensive duties and sometimes plays significantly further away from the goal. Nevertheless, the stress on goalkeepers is not comparable to that of other players. While field players often retire around age 33 to 35, goalkeepers often play until age 37 to 40 or even longer
