Goalie Sommer has been under fire since the 0-3 against ManCity in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Jörg Stiel, Yann Sommer can do with Bayern from the first leg against 0-3 Can Man City catch up and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League?
Jörg Stiel: I hope so. And I hope that Yann will ensure that Bayern progress with an excellent game and a great save in the 93rd minute. It would be nice if Didi Hamann and all the other critics would stand up afterwards and praise Yann.

Ex-Bayern star Hamann said Sommer was hopelessly overwhelmed against ManCity and had been upsetting the team for weeks…
… Hamann may be a big name in football, but I wonder where he gets the right to judge goalkeepers in that way. He was a midfielder.

Former goalkeepers such as Roman Weidenfeller and Jean-Marie Pfaff also did not hold back. Weidenfeller said Manuel Neuer saved the shot to make it 0-1. What do you think?
All these keepers seem to have completely forgotten about the many mistakes in their own careers. “Neuer would have kept it…” What’s the point of this statement? I can only shake my head at that. I definitely don’t want to talk about height and missing centimeters here. That’s too stupid. The goalkeeper game is all about technique and tactics.

Isn’t criticism part of the business, especially when you play for Bayern?
Criticism is, of course, part of it. But everything I heard and read went way too far and was way too populist. Even for a club like Bayern Munich. This discussion about the summer was conducted at an unworthily low level. I wanted more differentiated analyses, a little more calmness and less big headlines.

Do you still see the summer as strong as in Gladbach?
Yann was with Gladbach for eight years and rightfully had a very high reputation in the club. I also think he doesn’t exude the same coolness and certainty at Bayern, but that’s normal somewhere. Yann has not messed up a single game for Bayern, even though he is under a lot of pressure.

How difficult is it for a goalkeeper after Manuel Neuer to be in the Bayern goal?
I don’t know, I’ve never experienced it. But I can imagine it will be very difficult. Neuer is an icon in Germany and in Bavaria. He won ten national titles with the club and twice the Champions League. And in 2014 he became world champion – in Germany that is for life.

Is it possible that German pundits and the media are particularly critical of Sommer because it threatens their Neuer monument?
Maybe. But I don’t know what that should bring. Neuer returns in the summer, this story will happen. He certainly doesn’t need anyone already preparing the grounds for him. These exaggerated reviews of Sommer really do not help anyone.

Do you think Sommer can hide it in the second leg against Man City?
Such sharp criticism does not go unnoticed. Not even Oliver Kahn, as a monster of mentality, would have put up with these things. But Yann will be focused, I’m sure.
