For the first, the most striking case concerned Marc-André Ter Stegen, temporarily removed from his duties as captain after initially refused to help the club raft.
Barcelona struggled to line up Joan Garcia in time for his first Liga match against Mallorca, and he was finally decided to raft Ter Stegen, recently operated on a back injury. However, the player had blocked the club's attempts, before finally giving in.
The incident has aroused strong tensions, although it is now resolved. On this subject, the coach of FC Barcelona, Hans Flick, admitted to Sportbild (via sport) that the people involved-including himself-could have better managed the situation.
Flick admits his error
If everything related to communication has always been managed in the best possible way, I think there is a lot to improve, even on my side. For me, it is important that Marc and the club got closer and have sought a real communication. It is important that Marc comes back now. He is a high -level goalkeeper and he will receive all the necessary support from us so that he can find his current level. »»
Flick reveals why Garcia is preferred to Ter Stegen
Earlier this summer, it had been decided that Garcia would replace Ter Stegen as the club's number one goalkeeper, hence part of the animosity. Flick revealed why the former Espanyol goalkeeper, currently injured, was chosen as the main goalkeeper.
“With Joan Garcia, we have a very young and very talented goalkeeper, who is already evolving at a very high level, and we have all decided that he would be the future of Barça. Our approach was therefore clear. »»
