In an interview, Bayern goalkeeper Neuer talked about the Club World Cup, saying that it will only take several years or even decades to see the status of the event.

Neuer said this: "I think participating in the Club World Cup is very special. Some teams have not entered this event, which makes them feel hurt. They must also want to come here to play. In a few years or even decades, we can see what the final position of this competition system will be."

"It's hard to say now, because this is the first one, and we are looking forward to this Club World Cup. We know the interests and we are very happy to be involved. This event is held every four years, not every year, which is good because the schedule is getting tighter."
