The put German of the FC Barcelona, Marc-André Ter Stegen, did not have too work in his debuti official with the Barcelona team in Champions League against the Apoel of Nikosea. However, it stopped a shot in the discount that could have meant the tie

Marc-André Ter Stegen lived this Wednesday the one who sure will be one of his more special nights in the Camp Nou: the debut in official party, and besides in Champions League. It is true that the youngster guardameta German of the FC Barcelona did not have too work along the party, but in the little that participated the fans barcelonista could see some indicators of his main virtues, as for example that has a good touch of balloon with the right foot (oxigenó the exit of balloon playing fast with the central), that is attentive and goes well of head (intercepted a pass in depth going out of his area) and that it is a guardameta fast (marked a "sprint" until the pennant of corner to try save a kickoff of corner).

But the most important is that has reflections, and this also could show it although it only was once, diverting to corner a powerful rival shot in the injury time and guaranteeing of this way the victory of the FC Barcelona in the first meeting of the phase of groups of the Champions. Before this, did not go until the minute 63 when it touched the first balloon with the hands -or rather with the fists-, clearing the spherical to the exit of a kickoff of corner. In his scarce apparitions in the game culé, however, Ter Stegen left a good flavour of mouth in some fans that applauded him.

It will have to accustom to what represents to be goalkeeper of the FC Barcelona. Take part little with the hands during the meeting in the majority of parties, but when it need him , avoid anyway that the balloon finish drilling the network. A work that did Valdés and that now will demand him to Ter Stegen, the bet of future although Claudio Bravo was headline in League. It presupposes , from now, that Claudio Bravo will play the League and Ter Stegen the Champions League. It is possible, in this context, that Jordi Masip contest the Glass of Rey.

Bravo: "it has surprised Me a lot Ter Stegen"

In statements conceded to "Catalonia Ràdio" at the beginning of the month of August, Claudio Bravo explained the course of his first days in the FC Barcelona and to the orders of Luis Enrique, of the one who appreciated the big intensity that asks in each training. The Chilean spoke also of Marc-André Ter Stegen and Jordi Masip, to those who valued very positively. "They have surprised me a lot of things of Ter Stegen. Has a big quality and already goes speaking Spanish. Jordi also is training very well and knows the methodology of the Barça".
