Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer is optimistic after the 2:1 win over Aston Villa in the preseason. The victory against a top Premier League team is an important step for him. "For us, it was important to win the game against a top Premier League team and deliver a good performance. The conditions weren't easy, but we presented ourselves well, and I'm very satisfied. We're always trying to improve and get the basics right. The young players who are joining the team are trying to learn that as quickly as possible. They showed themselves to be very good," said Neuer in an interview with FCBayern.com. Neuer also praised the support Bayern Munich has received throughout the Audi Summer Tour. "We've seen what we get back. The fans support us, so it's good that we're presenting ourselves here," said he. The veteran goalkeeper believes Bayern Munich is in a strong position thanks to the continuity within the squad and the quality added during the transfer window. "It's important that the core of the team hasn't changed much and that we've added fresh players to strengthen the squad. We still have test matches to prepare for the Supercup. We're taking this very seriously, as was evident today," said Neuer. The win over Aston Villa is an important step for Bayern Munich in the preseason. The Franz Beckenbauer Supercup is approaching, and the players are ready for the challenge. Currently, Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry are injured.
