Bayern’s stars are soon gathering to prepare for the new season. While many are counting the last days of their vacation on beaches and yachts, one footballer has decided to keep his form in top shape on holiday – and that is goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, reports Gol.hr.
The famous German goalkeeper decided to start his pre-season preparations before rejoining his club and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, cycling from Germany to Croatia.
Manuel Neuer has never hidden his love for Croatia, which has become his second home. He is visiting Croatia for the third summer in a row. A month ago, he stayed in Dubrovnik, and now he is returning, only on a different means of transport – a bike.
“My kind of pre-season before pre-season! Nice guys and a bike ride to Croatia! Let‘s goooo!” Neuer captioned his Instagram post.
Neuer will stay in Croatia for a few days, and he loves Dalmatia the most, which he has visited several times. He has already cycled from Dubrovnik to Omiš. On the way, he was filmed singing hits by Marko Perković Thompson, and he also treated the locals to drinks at a cafe.
Manuel Neuer is one of the world’s most legendary goalkeepers and the captain of both Bayern Munich and the national team of Germany. The 36-year-old was named the best goalkeeper of the decade from 2011 to 2020 by IFFHS and won the 2014 FIFA World Cup with Germany and the Golden Glove award for being the best goalkeeper in the tournament. Neuer has played for Bayern Munich since 2011.
