39-year-old Neuer talks about Shenpu: Instinctive reactions, these moments rely on muscle memory and training accumulation

Today, Bayern Munich eliminated Flamenco in the Club World Cup. Neuer's contribution made the game unbelievable divine pounce. After the game, he accepted an interview with the media and talked about his performance.

In the game against Flamenco, Neuer created the most shocking moment of this event. The scene of his save from Louis Araujo's shot was played repeatedly through the big screen of the stadium. The Bayern goalkeeper even hit the ball with a conditioned second reaction after completing the save with amazing arm strength and reflex nerves at close range. Seeing all this, Kimmich celebrated wildly in front of the goal with her mouth wide open. This save is the best in this tournament to date.

Talking about his performance after the game, 39-year-old Neuer said: "This is an instinctive reaction, similar to the classic save from Walcott in 2016 or the classic save against Cristiano Ronaldo in 2019. These moments rely on muscle memory and training accumulation. The key is to tighten the arm muscles to form resistance, rather than being knocked back by the ball."

This amazing save once again proves that at a critical moment, Bayern No. 1 is still a strong contender for the world's best goalkeeper. Sports Director Ebert praised: "It is a wise move to renew the contract with Neuer. We have a world-class goalkeeper and he injects a sense of stability into the entire line of defense."
