At FC Bayern Munich, the Swiss Yann Sommer is in the box after Manuel Neuer broke his tibia and fibula. In the near future there could also be a change in the number one in the German national team.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen is a regular starter at FC Barcelona in La Liga. After joining the Catalans in 2014, the 30-year-old has played over 350 games for Blaugrana.
Ter Stegen has a clear goal
Now the former Gladbach keeper is striving for more. “I believe that my performances in recent years have been right and that I have also matured in the national team and am ready for the next step,” Ter Stegen said in an interview with “kicker”.
“Of course I aspire to be number one: at Barca, but also in the national team. And I’ll do everything I can to show my maximum performance in the position I’m in now and help the team. “
Before the next international matches in March, there should be a joint meeting with team boss Hansi Flick and DFB goalkeeping coach Andreas Kronenberg. The aim is to review the World Cup and analyze the current situation.
In Qatar, ter Stegen sat behind Neuer on the bench – not a new situation. Since his debut in 2012, the Barca goalkeeper has often had to queue at the back. In total, Ter Stegen has played 30 international matches in recent years, half of which were friendlies.
The European Championships are coming up in Germany next year, and Ter Stegen wants to keep goal. “That’s my goal, of course.”
