Ter Stegen Shoots Tire Captain Barcelona
Andres Ineista's departure left Barcelona's captain's armband. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen claimed to want to be one of the leaders in the squad Barca.
Iniesta left Barca to continue his career in Japan with Vissel Kobe. The Spanish midfielder is the first captain of the Blaugrana since Xavi Hernandez retired.
Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Gerard Pique also became the players who carry the Barca captain's armband. Even though he wanted to be a Barca captain, Ter Stegen claimed he was not obsessed.
"The team in general will decide about the captain," said Ter Stegen on Football Espana. "It's not the most important thing, but I will be proud if my name is called."
"I will be one of Barcelona's captains, but for me that doesn't really matter. We don't need four captains because there are more captains than just four."
Coat goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen is reportedly heading towards the Camp Nou exit due to a minimal minute of play. The Dutch goalkeeper has only been in Barca for two seasons after being imported from Ajax.
"I can not say much about Jasper, if he wants to leave, that's up to him, it's personal," Ter Stegen added.
"I realize he wants to play, but I also want to be number one goalkeeper and play in all competitions, he knows that and the club knows."
