Ulrich Hoeneß may be well known f0r his controversial quotes and the way he still runs things at Bayern Munich despite his role as “just” a member of the supervisory board, but to the players he is known only to do one thing: Support them no matter what. Unless your name is Juan Bernat. Still, if a player has served a club well for many years Hoeneß will have a player’s back no matter.Therefore, in a period of time in which Bayern captain Manuel Neuer’s form is being heavily criticized after many supposed mistakes, Hoeneß had some choice words for the detractors.“I think the way everyone is now attacking him is unacceptable,” Bayern’s honorary president insisted, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “Manuel is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world – and that will remain the case.”On a possible contract extension for Manuel Neuer, Hoeneß had this to say: “I think this topic will only be discussed in spring.”This confirms recent rumors and could see the World Cup winner stay at Bayern until after his 41st birthday. Still, for that to happen Neuer will need to prove that he can stay fit and keep his form up for an entire season.
