Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's career start at a new club is proving to be much more challenging than expected.
In June, the player acquired from the "Schalke" team in Gelsenkirchen was not warmly welcomed by the most fervent "Bayern" fans, who protested this transfer at the end of the previous season.
This anger was caused by the fact that Neuer is a loyal "Schalke" fan and a fierce opponent of "Bayern."
On Tuesday, Neuer met with representatives of the dissatisfied fans, five of whose associations later issued this statement: "The goalkeeper told us how he will behave with us in the future, but that did not change our attitude.
During the meeting, we explained what we expect from him. If Neuer follows the rules and maintains a respectful distance from us, there will be no protests or demonstrations against him."
