In the top game on Sunday, the Nati star kept a clean sheet.

In the meantime, he has really arrived in Munich, says the 34-year-old.
Nati star Yann Sommer comes out of the Allianz Arena catacombs on Sunday evening with a smile. He and his Bayern team-mates had just shown a dominant performance in the top game in the Bundesliga. Union Berlin defeated 3-0, Sommer kept a clean sheet in Munich’s snow flurry and Munich are back from first place in the Bundesliga table.
“You might sympathize with what was going on in the club in the week following the defeat once morest Gladbach. We showed a very good performance once morest Union and it was also important how we performed,” said the 34-year-old following the game compared to 20 minutes, “Union had no chance, so to speak”.
“Of course my game changes a bit here”
The Swiss Bayern goalie hardly had anything to do on Sunday. The danger of catching a cold when the temperature was below zero was at times greater than that Sommer would concede a goal. Union Berlin only had one shot on goal over 90 minutes. “Of course my game changes a bit here, but I see it very positively. It means that as a team we defend very well, stand well and keep the opponent far away from my goal, »explains Sommer.
But not only has his game changed since moving from Mönchengladbach to Bayern Munich, the pressure situation is also different. The German record champions want to win every game and win every competition. You are never the underdog. Sommer’s Bayern record: Nine competitive games, one defeat and four games to zero. Including the cup round of 16 once morest Mainz or the Champions League first leg in the giant duel once morest PSG, where the national goalie had not conceded a goal.
Family has also arrived in Munich
“The pressure is a bit greater and so are the demands, of course,” confirms Sommer. But he quickly got used to it. “In the end, the game is the same.” His teammates were also a help when he came on board. “You can feel in the team how this winning mentality lives and how much experience is already available.” And adds: “I am very happy to be here.”
Shortly following moving to Bayern, Sommer spoke in an interview that two points had absolute priority. The focus on sport and that he and his family can feel comfortable as quickly as possible. After his first month as Bayern’s regular goalie, he says: “The first time was a bit hectic, a lot was new.” But now he has arrived and the family is now in Munich. “Now let’s start this new chapter together.”
