Neuer: Schalke fans' boos are love, and for me they are actually a form of praise

In the second round of the Bundesliga, Bayern drew 0-0 away to Schalke 04, and Neuer accepted an interview after the match.

For you, this was also a return home in a way. Every time you touched the ball, boos came from the stands. Did this make you feel uncomfortable?

No, this is love, I know that. So from this perspective, it is actually a form of praise.

This is the love from Schalke fans, because your departure back then is still something that makes them feel hurt today?

Yes.

Today Bayern fans provided relatively less support for the team, the atmosphere at the stadium was also not as strong, and many fans did not enter the stadium. Did you feel this on the pitch?

Yes, I noticed it immediately and paid attention to it, so something must have happened. It is very possible that they were not allowed to enter the stadium, or that they may have been stopped somewhere. I cannot say too much about it right now, but from the atmosphere in the away supporters' stand, it was of course clearly noticeable.
