Script:

SOUNDBITE (German) Manuel Neuer, Germany goalkeeper:(On being back with the national team for the first time since the World Cup)

"I am of course happy to be with the national team again and to see the boys and the team again. After this success of winning the World Cup it is of course a dream to see all of us here again. Only a short period of time has passed and now it starts again. We are playing against Argentina again now and then the European Championship qualifiers start at the weekend. Everything comes pretty fast at the moment."

SOUNDBITE (German) Manuel Neuer, Germany goalkeeper(On how difficult it is to come back down to earth after wining the World Cup)

"It is of course a bit difficult - one has to say that very clearly. In particular after all the experiences that are behind us and also with regard to the things that have happened within the national team in terms of the players who have left us and ended their careers in the national team. And we will see all of these boys again on Wednesday (note: when they will receive the official farewell from DFB ahead of the friendly match). So, many things have happened. And, yeah sure, the fact that we are playing against Argentina again now is of course a special one. And we will play against Scotland at the weekend and this will be an important game for us and we want to make a good start with three points in the qualifying round."
