#JustNeuerThings: 10 outrageous things that only Manuel Neuer could do

There are goalkeepers in football. And then there is Manuel Neuer. The German has won it all. From multiple Bundesliga crowns to a Champions League medal, and, above all, the FIFA World Cup.However, the best part about the German is that he'll be remembered, by the generations to come, less for these achievements and more for the incredible things that this man is capable of doing on a football pitch.We look at some of such moments which have made him a real urban legend in football, acts which only Neuer can dream of orchestrating and executing.

#1 Come half way down the pitch to satiate his tackling appetite

 

How often do you see a goalkeeper run down halfway down the pitch to tackle an on-rushing forward despite having his own defenders around to manage the situation? Pretty often if you're a German football fan because Neuer does it with quite a bit of punctuality and flair.

In a recent international fixture against Georgia, Neuer rushed halfway down his half to put in a sliding tackle on a forward. Not only that, after he realised that he had made a pretty decent mess of it, he stuck around to have a second bite of the cherry. Fortunately, there wasn't a Xabi Alonso or Charlie Adam around and Neuer stood vindicated.
