Football goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen has spoken publicly again in a dispute with FC Barcelona for the first time in two weeks.
“I am unanimously ready to work with the club management in order to clarify this matter and to issue the requested approval” The 33-year-old said on social media with a view to the declaration of consent to forwarding Ter Stegen’s injury report to the Medical Commission of the Spanish league.
According to media reports, Ter Stegen, who had to recently undergo back surgery after a long break in the previous season, should initially refuse to sign under the document. Without the report, the league cannot judge how severe the keeper’s injury is. On Tuesday, Barcelona had already initiated a disciplinary procedure against Ter Stegen. For this purpose, the former Gladbacher was discontinued as a captain and received no number for the new season in the team of coach Hansi Flick.
Ter Stegen relies on “constructive dialogue”
He “I understand that difficult moments can lead to tensions, but I trust that we can solve this situation constructively through dialogue and responsibility”, “ wrote Ter Stegen in his contribution after he had put his downtime due to the operation in another post with “about three months”. He was informed of the “most renowned experts” and was agreed with the club. Barcelona may only use 80 percent of his content to register new players if the Stegen is at least four months.
The new goalkeeper Joan García, for whom Barca paid 25 million euros to Espanyol Barcelona, and Wojciech Szczesny have not yet been registered due to the club’s economic problems. Ter Stegen rejected a connection between his operation and registration of his competitors in the goal.
“Deep affection for FC Barcelona”
These personal details were concluded before the procedure that he could never assume that “That my unfortunate circumstances with the new operation […] would be necessary for the registration of other colleagues “, wrote ter Stegen. He appreciates them “very” and wanted to share “many seasons” the cabin. Any other interpretation is both “unfair and incorrect”.
The German number one did not go into the future in Barcelona a year before the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. The decision for the surgery was supported by the club “fully”. His health and long -term sporting career were in the foreground, “which of course is also in the interests of FCB so that I can stand on the pitch as soon as possible and win further titles,” wrote ter Stegen: He felt “A deep affection for FC Barcelona, this city and its fans, who have stood by my side for so many years. My commitment to these colors remains unbroken. “
