Bayern legend criticizes Nübel change: "Stupid decision" - ex

Torwart Legend Jean-Marie Pfaff has criticized Alexander Nübel for its change from FC Schalke to Bayern. In the eyes of the Belgian, Nubel dared the step after Munich simply and moving too early.

Already when Alexander Nubel moved to FC Bayern in the summer of 2020 from FC Schalke, he said that the goalkeeper is "not ripe" for the task of the record champion said Pfaff in his book presentation on Friday in Munich.

"Neuer and is there, on an absolute top level, he could not replace on foreseeable time," said Pfaff, in whose eyes Nübel's plan was simply ambitious: "Sitting on the bench, not playing, that's bad - Especially for such a young goalkeeper. That was a stupid decision. "

Even before Nubel moved to Munich, Pfaff saw some weak points at the former Schalke. "I looked at the games at Schalke then and thought of me: boy, you have to learn so much," explained the Belgian. He did not change his opinion until now. Even now, Nubel still had to learn a lot, said the former World Hot Hutter, because: "Talent alone is not enough."

On the other hand, Pfaff does not doubt the potential of Nübel. Therefore, his advice on the 25-year-olds is also: "Do not let you go down, continue."

FC Bayern keeps hoping for Nübel return

Also at FC Bayern they are also convinced that one day's nubel can step in the footsteps of Manuel Neuer. According to "kicker", those responsible wishes to continue a return of the keeper, who is still borrowed to the AS Monaco until the end of the season 2022/23.

Whether Nübel in Munich gets the chance on regular missions, but is mainly dependent on Manuel New and its further career planning. If the national player continues his career at FC Bayern beyond his contract end of the contract (2023), Nübel's prospects for use minutes are low.
