Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Franz Beckenbauer has urged Manuel Neuer to be careful with his tendency to act as a sweeper in Germany's 2-1 win over Algeria.
Die Nationalmannschaft progressed to the quarter-finals following a tight encounter on Monday night, with extra-time strikes from Andre Schurrle and Mesut Ozil giving them a two-goal before Abdelmoumene Djabou pulled one back late on.
Neuer's performance in the game in Porto Alegre was defined by the number of occasions that he rushed from his box to help his defence and, whilst backing the Bayern Munich shot stopper, Beckenbauer acknowledged he was taking some significant risks.
"I would not say he's a better sweeper [than me]," the 68-year-old told a press conference.
"Twice he was lucky that he met the ball at exactly the right time for the attack. If he would have come in too late, he could have been sent off. With all due praise for his great performance
