Dier hails Neuer: "The greatest of all time" | OneFootball

Eric Dier recently raved about FCB captain Manuel Neuer on a podcast. The 31-year-old even called the five-time World Goalkeeper of the Year the “Greatest of All Time.”

Currently, Manuel Neuer is entering his final contract year with FC Bayern. In recent months, the 39-year-old has shown himself to be in top form. It’s possible that the FCB management might even consider keeping the two-time Champions League winner beyond 2026. In the coming months, Neuer can continue to make his case for an extension.

One player who was more than convinced by Neuer’s performances is Eric Dier. The Englishman won the German championship last season together with the five-time World Goalkeeper of the Year. On the Fozcast – The Ben Foster Podcast, the center-back spoke about Neuer.

“The greatest of all time. I think people in England don’t even know how good he is, because maybe they’ve never watched the Bundesliga. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Dier enthused.

“I can’t speak highly enough of him”

Dier continued: “But if you follow Bayern games in the Bundesliga for a year, you’ll understand. He reads everything, he catches everything.” Even in the first days after his arrival, Neuer made incredible saves in training, Dier added. “I said to Harry: ‘What is this?’ I can’t speak highly enough of him. He loves being a goalkeeper, getting into the details.”

“Everyone said to me: ‘Yeah, he’s not what he used to be anymore.’ And I think to myself: ‘What was he like back then?’” Dier asked with a laugh.

In the meantime, Dier has joined AS Monaco. The right-footer moved to the Monegasques on a free transfer from FC Bayern this summer. Previously, FCB had offered Dier a one-year contract, but AS offered him a longer-term deal, which is why the record champions missed out.
