Neuer reacts to Aston Villa's goal: "That's our game"
Manuel Neuer was caught well off his line in Bayern Munich's 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa, with Jhon Duran lifting the ball over the 38-year-old veteran.
Asked about the goal and whether he made a mistake by being so far off his line, Neuer told DAZN (via @iMiaSanMia):
“Everyone knows that I do that every game. The striker did well. I could've been two meters behind, but that's our game.
“I don't know if the coach will ask for something different after this goal. Calculated risk? That's our game,” Neuer said.
“We didn't have a bad game, not our best game either. That can happen in football. They did well and made it difficult for us. We managed to create chances but unfortunately couldn't take them.”
Next up for Neuer and Bayern is Sunday's Bundesliga clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.
