Bayern Munich needed something special to get past the disciplined defense of VfB Stuttgart in their Bundesliga bout in the weekend. Deputy and understudy goalkeeper Jonas Urbig came up with a piece of incredible skill to assist his team in the creative aspect as well as the defensive one. Urbig later credited Manuel Neuer for improving that area of his game.
Manuel Neuer is the quintessential sweeper-keeper who revolutionized the game. As his chosen understudy Jonas Urbig is picking aspects of the game from
Manu to improve his impact on the game. With Stuttgart not letting Bayern have an iota of space and also pressing the Bavarians in possession, it was Urbig who made the difference. His long pass to find Konrad Laimer created the opening for the visitors. Laimer went on to connect with Olise and within two touches of Urbig’s pass, Bayern had their first goal.
Urbig later credited captain Manuel Neuer for picking out the pass and setting up the goal. “Of course there are situations where I can influence the game with such long balls. The experience and expertise of Manu definitely helps me a lot with that.” said the young goalie (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
