VIDEO: Manuel Neuer has his work cut out for him with new training regime involving a cannon

They could have just gotten Tony Yeboah in

Bayern Munich accidentally let slip the best way for rival teams to beat Manuel Neuer… bring a cannon to the match.

The German international is almost universally considered the greatest stopper in the world but he looked out of his depth with Bayern’s new training method for their goalkeepers.

The newly crowned Bundesliga champions have introduced a football-firing cannon at Säbener Strasse in a bid to get their goalkeepers to kick up their shot-stopping game.

The contraption might be able to fire a shot out of Neuer’s reach but can it dribble a ball halfway up the pitch? No? Didn’t think so. Neuer still has that going for him.
