00:00 Can we assume that Manuel Neuer will score tomorrow?

00:03 Yes, you can assume that.

00:05 If nothing happens in training, then he'll play.

00:10 He's looking forward to it, we're looking forward to it,

00:12 and you're probably looking forward to it even more.

00:14 I think it's a special situation.

00:17 As you say, it's been a long time without him,

00:20 but I feel his anticipation and I feel his whole class too.

00:25 I'm really happy for him.

00:27 I'm almost proud that he's managed to do it,

00:31 even though my performance is the smallest.

00:34 It's going to be zero.

00:36 And yet I feel a kind of pride that he's gone through it

00:39 and is coming back now.

00:41 That's a great story.

00:43 Everything else is natural.

00:45 That's why I'm happy for him, that he can enjoy it right now.

00:50 You can feel it in him.

00:52 And that's why I'm very confident

00:54 I think he'll get his top performance pretty quickly.
