Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s Future Depends On Him – Flick

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has updated fans about goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s future. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the decision regarding Ter Stegen’s future lies solely with the goalkeeper himself because the club is more than happy to keep him despite his reduced role.

Flick added that he intends to rest the current number one, Joan Garcia, ahead of the Copa del Rey fixture against Guadalajara.

His words, “I think it is his decision. We have spoken about his situation and I respect Marc a lot because he is a great goalkeeper and personally is a good person for the team. But in the end, it is his decision and it is he who must decide it, not me.

We are going to give Joan a rest tomorrow. First of all, we want to talk to the players and before the match, we will tell them who is going to play. Today is not the day to make decisions, we are in the recovery process.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
