Article arrow_drop_down

2007 wurde Timo Hildebrand mit dem VfB Stuttgart Meister und 2006 WM-Dritter mit der Nationalmannschaft. Der frühere Top-Torwart sagt im Interview mit SPORT BILD, warum Stuttgarts Alexander Nübel für ihn der Favorit auf die Nachfolge von Manuel Neuer als künftige Nummer eins beim FC Bayern ist. Zudem spricht der Ex-Nationalspieler über die schwierige Situation von Barcelonas Marc-André ter Stegen sowie VfB-Shootingstar Nick Woltemade und dessen Wechselwunsch.

Für die Traditionself des VfB ist Timo Hildebrand noch am Ball. 2007 holte er mit den Schwaben die Meisterschale. Der frühere Nationaltorwart spielte u.a. noch für Benfica Lissabon und Eintracht Frankfurt

SPORT BILD: Marc-André ter Stegen spielt beim FC Barcelona keine Rolle mehr. Seine frustrierende Situation schlägt hohe Wellen. Falls der 33-Jährige seinen Vertrag, der bis 2028 läuft, wirklich aussitzt – kann er dann noch die Nummer eins im deutschen Tor bleiben?

Timo Hildebrand (46): Aus meiner Sicht ist das unmöglich. Ich denke nicht, dass es gut geht, wenn die deutsche Nummer eins im Verein nicht regelmäßig spielt. Der Rhythmus, die Spielpraxis fehlen. Das sind entscheidende Faktoren, um seine ganze Klasse zu zeigen.

Ist ter Stegen nach seiner Verletzung überhaupt noch gut genug für den Stammplatz im deutschen Tor?

Auf jeden Fall! Ter Stegen hat die Qualität, noch ein paar Jahre die Nummer eins zu sein. Man muss bedenken, dass er einige Jahre lang unangefochten war bei Barca, obwohl er anfangs dort nicht als Nummer 1 gesetzt war. Warum sollte er nach seiner schweren Verletzung nicht wieder zu alter Stärke finden, wie es zum Beispiel auch Manuel Neuer geschafft hat?

Im „Bayern Insider“ vom 1. August: Luis Diaz ist da! Und Woltemade?

Wer könnte ter Stegen beerben?

Ich sehe hinter ihm einen offenen Dreikampf zwischen Oliver Baumann, Alex Nübel und Kevin Trapp.

Was ist mit Noah Atubolu, der gerade eine starke EM für die U21 gespielt hat?

Er kann dazustoßen. Ich traue ihm zu, irgendwann auch bei der A-Nationalmannschaft die Nummer eins zu werden. Atubolu sammelt mit dem SC Freiburg in der neuen Saison internationale Erfahrung. Das lässt ihn reifen. Ich freue mich sehr für ihn, da er am Anfang seiner Bundesliga-Zeit viel Kritik einstecken musste. Das war total unfair und unnötig. Es ist normal, dass ein Talent Eingewöhnungszeit in der Bundesliga braucht. Er ist ein sehr ausgeglichener Torhüter.

Alexander Nübel spielt seine letzte Leihsaison bei Ihrem Ex-Klub VfB Stuttgart. Danach kehrt er laut Vertrag zu Bayern zurück und kämpft dann mit Jonas Urbig um die Nachfolge von Manuel Neuer. Wer ist Favorit?

Urbig ist ein Riesentalent und hat Manu gut vertreten. Aber es ist eine andere Hausnummer, wenn du als Nummer eins des FC Bayern in die Saison gehst. Nübel hat Vorteile aufgrund seiner Erfahrung in der Bundesliga, in der Champions League und wird auch jetzt mit Stuttgart in Europa unterwegs sein. Der VfB tut ihm gut. Er hat wieder richtig Fuß gefasst in der Bundesliga, aber was in einem Jahr sein wird, steht noch in den Sternen.

[–>Nick Woltemade will jetzt schon vom VfB zu Bayern wechseln. Ist er schon reif für den Rekordmeister?

Klares Ja. Nick ist schon gut genug für die Bayern. Ich kann verstehen, wenn ein Spieler sich sagt: „Hey, die Chance zu Bayern zu wechseln muss ich nutzen. Ich verdiene ein Vielfaches, habe die Chance, jedes Jahr Meister zu werden und in der Champions League ganz weit zu kommen.” Nick verhält sich gut, indem er sich öffentlich zurückhält. Ich finde aber auch die Haltung der VfB-Verantwortlichen richtig und bin gespannt, was im Transferfenster noch passieren wird.

Die Stuttgarter haben die Angebote des FC Bayern bisher abgelehnt.

Es ist doch vollkommen nachvollziehbar, dass sie für diesen Spieler eine hohe Ablösesumme generieren und ihn am liebsten noch behalten wollen. Mich würde es auch freuen, da er ein überragender Spieler und Typ ist. Eine weitere Saison beim VfB würde ihm sicher guttun und weiter reifen lassen. Ich denke, er würde weder medial noch aus Fan-Sicht keinen Schaden davontragen, wenn er am Ende bleiben würde.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke

When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]

Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match

Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride.

Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs

The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]

Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’

The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
