We want to show the best face of ourselves, said Neuer (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). But Neuer also stressed that the tour is a crucial part of Bayerns preparations for the new season.Were not only doing the summer tour for the fans. Were also doing it for ourselves because were in the middle of our preseason. We have important matches against Jeju and later against Aston Villa in Hong Kong. Well approach them with 100% commitment and discipline, said Neuer.While meeting supporters remains a priority, Bayerns focus is firmly on building fitness, sharpening tactics, and preparing for the competitive campaign ahead. The friendlies against Jeju and Aston Villa are key tests as Vincent Kompanys side continues its pre-season work, with Neuer making it clear the team will treat every match with full professionalism.Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:New, improved notifications system!Fewer adsCreatecommunity postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community posts
