TRANSFERS 2011: MANUEL NEUER, a Goalkeeper for a Champion



Translated by Google
 ORIGINAL SPANISH ARTICLE
Since he ascended to the ownership of Schalke in the 2006-07 season and the German team last year, was a matter of time before the red giant Bavarian Genselkirchen be presented in a suitcase full of money. Indeed, the first of July 1 suitcase 25 million euros will be opened in the mining town, and shortly after a plane landed in Munich from Germany bringing goalkeeper.
We are talking about one of the few clubs of Europe whose financial muscle allows it to compete with the giants Spanish and English, and one of the teams whose youth and quality is on par with the Spanish. Both sets found in Manu, one of the cornerstones to write a success story.

FEATURES OF HIS GAME

'It's a tall goalie, elastic, with a resilient from the ground.
Technically it is very complete, dominating all the resources of a good keeper: Outputs high shot-to-mouth jar, noise in the area, footwork ...
His greatest value is that it is tactically very good reader of the game, but it sometimes fails concentration, it is somewhat vulnerable in long distance shots with the ball in motion
-It shows a great personality, but his constant rumors about his sex life and the visceral hatred that ultra sector professes his new team, could undermine its commitment.




STATISTICAL LIST:  Intended for a Grande

In this table we look at the goals conceded and lost games by Schalke04  in the last five seasons, and participation and average stops Neuer.



We can see that in his second season, when he became entrenched in office, his team suffered two losses improved less. During the third season the player missed nearly two months of competition and accused his team defeated fit more in and out of games twice, falling from the Champions area until the middle of the table.
The following season, improved collective performance, and Neuer  parties could afford making a 20% fewer stops and yet conceding a goal less than 11%: Schalke finished second.

In the summer of 2010 Neuer played the World Cup South Africa as a keeper of your choice, and performance can be defined as excellent.  His team showed great strength while there is something at stake and the average goals conceded by Neuer was 0.50 per game, compared to 0.91 in his best year in Genselkirchen, which supports the idea that a better equipped team (where only had to step 2.89 times per game), its performance would be high. For instance, fell into the Champions Barcelona last year an average of 0.46 and 0.55 in league.

The season was atypical of all the past where Magath tactic failed revolution plunged the team in the relegation zone. As the global balance of the season good (winner of the DFB Pokal and Champions semifinalist), finished the bittersweet taste of a 14 th place and avoidance of decline in recent days. The increase of 34% of the Neuer stops (indicating that the network was less effective defensive) justifies that it can exhaust the list of most of the blame for conceding goals and many more have suffered more defeats.
The good second half of the season was the goalkeeper of one of its protagonists as their 4 stops per game allowed both in the Champions Cup as his team progressed. Are two parties:
-In the most crucial match of the cup semi-final against Bayern, the 7 stops helped keep the clean sheet and place in the final.
-In his repertoire Champions 9 stops in the 0-2 against United in the semifinal round and retained was anthology of German hopes in a comeback.

FORECAST

As the numbers seem to reflect the presence of Neuer's goal keeping a strong team might leave its best. In his debut, where his team conceded four shots on goal, conceded the only goal in this Bundesliga leads, and since then every game Bayern have won a clean victory and remained undefeated.
