“I got my first football when I was two and played my first proper game...” — Manuel Neuer Quote

“I got my first football when I was two and played my first proper game before I was five. So nothing else was ever an option!”

“I think I am capable of captaincy.”

“For me, the Bundesliga is a great league.”

“Before important games, I don't change my preparation.”

“I generally don't think one's age is all that meaningful - there are 50-year-olds who still act and think like children.”

“I am very proud to be the captain of the German national team.”

“Physical violence was never an option for men or women in my family.”

“I believe that we need to have a public option.”

“It was not an option for me to skip college and try to go to the minors.”

“I'm the kind of person who always has a Plan B. I don't want to go into anything without another option.”

“There's not really a choice about, am I going to pursue a typical career? Because I'm not the typical standard, so that's not even an option.”

“It's just a reassuring feeling, a confidence-builder I guess, knowing that you're going into a situation wanted as an option, like you're really wanted.”
