The guardian's file unleashes passions in Barcelona. This season, many club fans claimed one more year for Wojciech Szczęsny, and one less for Marc-André Ter Stegen. It must be said that the Polish, out of retirement, has made more than the interim by replacing the German in leaving. If his last weeks have not always been up to what he had been able to offer before, Szczęsny showed that he was still under the elbow at 35.
At the end of the season, Hansi Flick nevertheless sent a positive message to Ter Stegen by allowing him to replay against Valladolid and Villarreal. The 33 -year -old goalkeeper was even able to switch the gloves this week with his selection against Portugal. If she bowed (2-1), the winner of the 2015 Champions League made a big match. What revive his future in Barcelona? Apparently, no, since the signature of Joan Garcia, the porter of Espanyol, has been expected like that of the Grand Messiah for several weeks in Catalonia.
Ter Stegen will no longer replay at Barça, except in the event of an injury
Obviously, Ter Stegen also does not plan to assume a role of number 2, and this morning, the Catalan press gives us explosive revelations. Sport written that the behavior of the German has seriously irritated internally. The player's agent would have called the sports director a few days before the semi-final of the Champions League against Inter Milan to tell him that his client was ready to play. This request fell into the ears of a deaf and the staff made the decision to continue with the Pole, due to the lack of rhythm of Ter Stegen.
The latter would hardly have tasted this choice, and despite his status as a captain, he would have refused to make the trip to Milan to join the group, unlike Koundé for example. His moods would have somewhat disrupted the atmosphere in the locker room, and his interview with German television to reaffirm his wish to hold the Barça, did not necessarily arrang the situation. His relationship with Flick was never fluid (he had opted for Neuer during his visit to the Mannschaft bench), and it is still not. In recent weeks, Barça has worked more on the extension of Szczęsny, than his own. And Ter Stegen is now fixed: he will not play at all next season, except in the event of an injury.
