The scandalous figures of the 'problematic' change of Ter Stegen

The difficult sportive situation of the FC Barcelona can not simplify neither personificar. They are many the factors that explain the reason whereby to the Barcelona group costs him of to a large extent generate occasions and transform them and, instead, receives goals with excessive ease. The defensive fragility has been more than evident.

Neither it players present his best level neither perceives an efficient tactical preparation. To individual level, the functions of Marc-André ter Stegen are being increasingly questioned from his arrival to the Camp Nou due to the fact that for the first time since, keeps an average of stops by party of LaLiga inferior to the two points.

The general feeling of the barcelonismo is not that the guardameta German was the culprit of the tropiezos collective. Anybody doubts neither that it exist some another goalkeeper in the world that have a better capacity of custodiar the goal culé in the current conditions of the Barcelona club. However, the statistics show that Ter Stegen has lost the aura of saviour.

No longer it is the archer that in antaño conceded points, that was able to hide and maquillar the lacks of the group. It has 'humanizado' permanently and, in definite, no longer is able to avoid the unavoidable, to slip against the sad reality.

During the five commitments of the local competition that has contested in the current season, Marc-André has made nine stops. The quotient is of 1,80, enough lower that in the previous years. His best register like culé is of 3,39 (2016/17) and his average up to now was of 2,56 arrests by meeting. Besides it has received fewer targets (0,80), but the difference between both games also is the worst of his stage in Barcelona. In this sense, his best campaign was the 2017/18, in which it had to collect the spherical of the network 0,76 times by day, and the worst the 2019/20 and the 2015/16 (1,00).

Need of leadership

All magnifies in the Champions League. The rhythm of game is unquestionably higher that in LaLiga and this translates in more arrivals to the areas and, therefore, more work for the archers. In two commitments, the German has received six goals (3,00 of average) and has made seven interventions (3,50). The average of the German in the European tournament more prestigious is of 1, 17 so many received and 2,8 stops by duel.

To his 29 years, Ter Stegen faces his eighth year in the Camp Nou with the will to brake and even revertir his 'humanización'. It wants to go back to marvel and act miracles. The Teutonic is a German without bracelet, is more than qualified to be one of the leaders of the process of reconstruction of the Barça. Recover his best version will be vital for a team that to measure that happens the time finds fewer reasons to which hold to infect of optimism to his fans.
