Football: Ter Stegen Stuck In Goalkeeper's Purgatory In Germany Team As Neuer Is Named No1
Manuel Neuer: World-class in Barcelona's shirt, world-class in the Germany shirt, but still only the No.2 in the national team: Marc-Andre ter Stegen might feel stuck in endless purgatory. Only a few days ago, the former Borussia Monchengladbach player again received a disappointing message. Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann told him that Manuel Neuer would remain as first-choice goalkeeper for UEFA Euro 2024 this summer.
Nagelsmann spoke about the conversation as one of the most unpleasant ones of his career "as he deserves to be in goal." The 31-year-old Ter Stegen might be used to playing second fiddle, as he has faced stiff competition from Neuer for several years, with the uncomfortable fact that there can only be one goalkeeper in the team, reports Xinhua.
Months ago, the Barcelona keeper announced his breakthrough as he declared himself as Germany's new No.1 while Neuer was sidelined for a year due to a skiing accident. Barca coach Xavi called him "one of the best in the club's history" following his 400th club game for the Spanish side.
