The extreme defender of the Bavaria Monaco spoke to the magazine of the Bavarian club ’51 ‘about how he is preparing for the duel with the strikers. “The most important thing – says Neuer – is the position that is maintained between the posts in relation to the attacker’s movement. There are many ways that a goalkeeper can make life difficult for a striker who shows up alone. And I don’t care who it is. I’ve had several duels Cristiano Ronaldo what I’ve seen several times and that is an advantage for me that I know his movements. When it happens that he comes face to face with me, I don’t think, “Oh, here comes Ronaldo, what I’m doing I’m afraid”, the Portuguese don’t scare me at all. After explaining this one-on-one “mental game”, Neuer admitted that it wasn’t a matter of personal success during the game, but that of the team: “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like mental duels, me Mainly think about winning with my teammates, but when I can help, I’ll be there. “
