FC Barcelona: Marc-André ter Stegen wants to fight for number 1 in the DFB team

Aiming for the title with Barça

Marc-André ter Stegen still does not want to be satisfied with the reserve role in the German national team behind first-choice goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (36). You can’t get used to that when you have personal goals, the 30-year-old FC Barcelona goalkeeper said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo“.

“Of course I would like to play more, but you have to say that Manu has done a great job for the German national team over the years, we can’t forget that and the successes,” said ter Stegen, who added: “I’ll always stay right away, I’m trying to do my best at Barça to be able to offer solutions to the coach if he has other ideas. I’m supposed to work hard here and fight for the position.” At least in the international matches in March, Ter Stegen should have a chance of probation, since Neuer is not available due to a broken leg.

A good four weeks after the preliminary round at the World Cup in Qatar, ter Stegen has put his future role in the team of national coach Hansi Flick out of his mind for the time being. He no longer thinks about the national team because now is not the time. With the derby against Espanyol on Saturday (2:00 p.m.), he wants to focus all his attention on Barça when LaLiga starts again.

After 14 match days, FC Barcelona is in first place, two points ahead of defending champions and Champions League winners Real Madrid. “After all the time we played before the World Cup, I think we deserve to be up there. And now it’s time to fight these six months to get the trophy in the end,” said ter Stegen.
