Manuel Neuer, the 40-year-old Bayern Munich captain, arrived at the team's training camp at Lake Tegernsee in an unusual manner. On Tuesday, he cycled through Rottach-Egern to the team hotel 'Egerner Höfe' with a child trailer attached to his bike, carrying his two-year-old son Luca. Neuer was dressed casually in Birkenstock sandals, camouflage shorts, and a beige outfit, making him unrecognizable to passersby. His wife Anika is pregnant with their second child. Neuer joined other World Cup returnees, including Joshua Kimmich, Jonathan Tah, and new signing Nathaniel Brown, for the start of his 21st Bundesliga season. The training camp includes 16 pros and 13 talents, with public sessions and a friendly match against FC Rottach-Egern scheduled. Superstars like Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala will join later after the Asia tour.

Rottach-Egern – You have never seen Manuel Neuer (40) like this! On Tuesday, BILD caught the Bayern captain on his way from his villa on Lake Tegernsee to the meeting point of the World Cup players of the German record champions at the training camp. Neuer rode his bike through Rottach-Egern at 1:52 PM. Special feature: The 2014 world champion had a child trailer attached to the back of his bike!
Neuer Cycles to Bayern with Child Trailer
Neuer put on a low-key appearance, so much so that no passerby on Seestraße recognized him: Birkenstock sandals, short camouflage pants, beige shirt and beige cap – plus dark sunglasses and, on his black bike, the "Thule" bicycle trailer for his son Luca (2). Soon there will be more additions to the Neuer transport: Neuer's wife Anika (26) is pregnant with their second child.
On Tuesday afternoon, Neuer was on his way to the new team hotel "Egerner Höfe." For him, it marks the start of his 21st (!) Bundesliga season. At the five-star accommodation in Rottach-Egern, the first larger group of World Cup players gathered from 2 PM to participate in public training for the first time under double-coach Vincent Kompany (40) starting at 3:30 PM on Tuesday afternoon.
