The guardameta germano of the FC Barcelona, Marc-André Ter Stegen, has conceded an interview to the magazine 'Panenka', as in his day did André Gomes, in which it has spoken on his situation in the Barcelona, his referents from the infancy and the importance to having known choose to the team that goes him like ring to the finger to his style of game.

"It would not be here if it did not know to play with the feet. It is important for this club", admits the German archer, fully adapted to the football that practises the FC Barcelona, and proud to have strengthened in the titularity after his two first seasons in the club went something difficult, since Claudio Bravo was the cancerbero title in LaLiga.

For Ter Stegen, what does that a goalkeeper "was or seem 'modern' is that have a good game of feet, that was always attack behind the defensive line, in case there is a balloon to his back and has to anticipate. But, clear, the Barça, for many years, from the period of Víctor Valdés, always had a brave goalkeeper with the feet, that helped to the team", remarks Ter Stegen.

Ter Stegen Thinks that has hit coming to the Barça. "There are goalkeepers that fit perfectly in each style, like Ederson or Bravo in the City. And others like Buffon that are well here. But if you do a change, if I played in the Juventus and Buffon in the Barça, maybe I would not be the one who am now", signals the German, that has valued also very positively the arrival of Ernesto Valverde like technician this last season.

Working for real, although if it is necessary to defend some minutes, know what have to do", has valued Ter Stegen on the 'Txingurri'.

And, finally, it explains how it was his competition with Claudio Bravo for defending the goal of the FC Barcelona. "I wanted to be the number one here as it was. And clear, when me enteré that it would be Bravo was complicated. Because it was international, had won titles, had more experience".
