Matthäus: Ulbisi always comes forward at critical moments. It won’t be a big problem for Bayern to play Cologne in the Cup.

In a column written for Sky Sports Germany, German star Matthaus praised Bayern goalkeeper Ulbig's performance and believed that he may be able to succeed Neuer in the future. He also talked about the situation Bayern will face in this week's German Cup match.

Bayern will play an away game against Cologne in the second round of the German Cup on Wednesday. Matthaus wrote: "In Wednesday's game in Cologne, Urbig will stand in front of the goal again. He has been able to adapt to a similar stadium atmosphere in last Saturday's away game against Borussia Monchengladbach, and he will feel this atmosphere again in the cup match against his old club."

"So far, except for one mistake in Berlin, Urbig has been able to adapt to a similar stadium atmosphere." Erbich performed well at Bayern and stepped up at critical moments. In training, he can learn from Neuer every day. If he progresses accordingly, he may one day become Neuer's successor. "

As for Nubel, who is on loan in Stuttgart, Matthaus said: "He is also one of Neuer's potential successors because he is still on Bayern's salary list. We have to wait and see Let’s wait and see how long Nubel will observe this situation. "

Regarding the second round of the German Cup this week, Matthaus analyzed: "Although Bayern has been eliminated in the second round of the cup three times since 2020, in my opinion, Bayern is clearly the favorite to win in Cologne. Although anything is possible in the cup, a knockout match is like a final, but Bayern can play well in the final. It's up to them. If they keep the right focus, the obstacles in Cologne shouldn't be too much of a problem. "

Regarding the game between Frankfurt and Dortmund, Matthaus believed: "In this game, I think the chances of both sides are evenly matched. Dortmund was out of form in the first half of the Munich game and also performed mediocre in the first half against Cologne at the weekend, but their form improved in both games. "
