😳 The reasons behind the split between Hansi Flick and Ter Stegen
The relationship between Marc-André ter Stegen and Hansi Flick had already been tense since their time together on the German national team, when the coach opted for Manuel Neuer as the starter. However, the situation has recently worsened after the goalkeeper's return from injury. Ter Stegen has publicly and privately expressed his desire to be a starter, something that has not been well received by Flick. The goalkeeper's interview before the match against Inter, in which he stated he was recovered and ready to play, was interpreted by the coach as undue pressure to force his inclusion in the starting lineup. In this context, FC Barcelona no longer counts on Ter Stegen for three fundamental reasons. In sports terms, the technical staff does not fully trust his performance after the injury and an evident decline in level. Economically, his departure would free up a significant part of the salary mass. And internally, his attitude generates tension in the locker room, something that the new technical staff is not willing to tolerate. Advertisement Everything points to the fact that Ter Stegen's future at the club is more uncertain than ever. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
