After days of tensions, everything ended up going back to normal between FC Barcelona and Marc-André Ter Stegen. In a statement published last night, the German goalkeeper made amends and claimed to have agreed to sign the famous medical report that his club must transmit to La Liga. It is this signature that will allow us to formalize its package for the coming months, and, de facto, to register Joan Garcia with the body. “”I also want to specify (…) that all the signatures and extension of the club contract had been finalized before my operation. Therefore, at no time could I consider that my unhappy situation linked to this surgery would be necessary for the registration of other teammatesHe defended himself.
As if by magic, the same evening Barça communicated in turn the reinstatement of his goalkeeper (who recovered the captain's armband) (the disciplinary case was closed and the player is again captain of the first team with immediate effect). However, rather only a few hours, Ter Stegen had lost his jersey number on the club's website. What has passed in Catalonia for such a turnaround to present itself? There have been a small series of events in recent days which have allowed the return to calm. First, German quickly understood that he was alone against everyone, understand management and supporters. His teammates globally always displayed their support in public, especially on the loss of the armband.
Decisive discussion between Laporta and Ter Stegen
He read the many messages on his person and saw the trend that emerged on social networks. Appreciated all these years, the German feared to be the target of the anger of the supporters. They wish above all the good of their club and saw that Ter Stegen blocked the registration of Garcia. Also, discussions with certain teammates have been essential, says Sport This Saturday. Admittedly, he will not be able to play during the first half of the season but he serves the group, a gesture always appreciable for a captain. Joan Laporta also had her role to play in this story. Despite the displayed animosity and the opening of a legal investigation which he himself commanded, the president has never broken the link with the goalkeeper. On the contrary.
Laporta went to her home to discuss the various more or less recent events. They have been able to talk about the last complicated months of Ter Stegen, far from the fields due to his knee injury. They gave the future until later. If Barça wanted to get rid of the Mannschaft international, the new operation on the back has everything stopped. This is where the two men signed peace. Ter Stegen has agreed to sign his medical report in exchange for the end of the internal investigation against him and the return, at least symbolic for the moment, of the capital. It will also be interesting to see who the captain will be in the traditional discourse of the Gamper trophy this Sunday. Araujo had been promoted but the return to Grace of Ter Stegen maintains the uncertainty. And what will be welcomed by the public towards him?
