Jonas Urbig: The young goalkeeper in focus near Bayern Munich!

München, Deutschland - Suddenly Jonas Urbig is in the spotlight at Bayern Munich! The only 21-year-old goalkeeper had to step in at the UEFA Champions League against Bayer 04 Leverkusen on Wednesday and convinced despite the enormous pressure situation. The resignation of old master Manuel Neuer, who fails due to a calf injury, opened the doors to the young player at the starting eleven. Coach Vincent Kompany put on Urbig without hesitation and asked his players to trust the young talent. "You have to start at some point," said Kompany. Urbig, who was signed by the 1st FC Köln at the end of January, will be guarding the goal again on Saturday in the important home game against VfL Bochum, while the more experienced regular goalkeeper Sven Ulreich will take a seat on the bench, reports laola1 .

After his debut in the Champions League, where Urbig was able to maintain the white vest of the team, expectations will continue to increase. Company emphasizes that there will be no additional pressure on Urbig. "Age and lack of experience are not a problem," said the 38-year-old coach. Nevertheless, the upcoming encounter against Bochum could be crucial for Urbig, which only switched to the big stage of FC Bayern from the Bavarian Bank of 1. FC Köln, as well as Bavarian Football Works reported. While Bayern go into play as a favorite, Kompany knows how dangerous it is to underestimate the situation: "If you think it will work, it could be problematic." In the meantime, Marco Rose, the trainer of RB Leipzig, has different concerns. After a defeat against Mainz, his team is under pressure in an important game against SC Freiburg. Rose could ensure urgently needed calm with a win, while the situation of Urbig and FC Bayern is only becoming more important. While the views of Urbig are directed to work as a goalkeeper of the future, the question remains whether it can withstand the relentless pressure.
