Yann Sommer punishes the critics with lies. For years it was said that at 1.83 meters he was too short for a top club. Now he is moving to the big FC Bayern Munich, which has added millions to millions in the negotiations for him. As first-choice goalkeeper until summer. With the possibility of winning three titles in five months. With the prospect of playing the Champions League round of 16 against Paris SG with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé in February.
What more do you want as an athlete? In eight and a half years with Gladbach and in just as many as a regular goalie for the national team, Sommer has proven that he is world class. He is also perhaps the world’s best goalkeeper with his feet and therefore fits Julian Nagelsmann’s style of play perfectly.
It would have been better if it had extended to Gladbach, says one or the other. no If Bayern want to get you as their regular goalkeeper for six months, then you have to walk barefoot to Munich. Especially at the age of 34. But what is particularly great about his move is Yann Sommer’s non-Swiss way of thinking.
Because he is not afraid of Manuel Neuer. While the designated successor Alexander Nübel avoids the challenge and prefers to stay in Monaco, Sommer takes the risk. And sign until xxxx to challenge world champion goalie and Bayern legend Neuer in the fight for number 1 from July.
That’s sports spirit! That’s mentality! That’s courage!
Of course: If Neuer, who absolutely wants to contest the home EM 2024, is fit, it will be a Herculean task. But who knows today how Neuer will come back at 37 after six months of injury?
It is gratifying that Yann Sommer prefers the challenge in Munich to the nest made in Gladbach. He can look forward to the most exciting part of his football career.
And Jonas Omlin? At 29, he’s so ready for the Bundesliga. Gladbach gives Sommer, whose contract expired in the summer, to Munich for a lot of money and gets a strong replacement for four and a half years. A great deal for Borussia.
