How many times has seen him badly planted to Ter Stegen? Very few surely. How many times a mate has covered the vision of the German the sufficient as to fit a goal? Surely less. These and other situations have jointed this season in the arch of the Barcelona and surely, is of the worst seasons that will remember him to the German defending the goal.
The first goal in front of the Celtic of Vigo was a mix of both previous situations, with Ter Stegen badly situated in his zone, Hammered covering a bit his vision and a comfortable shot and to the centre finished being goal for the Galician group, that always has been a hard stone for the big teams, such as it showed in front of the Barcelona.
Further to be out of the fight by LaLiga (emotionally, although the numbers followed it allowing), the goalkeeper has seen contaminated by the irregularities of the team and his performance is in the middle of doubts, critical and designations. But seen in perspective and with cold head, few are the things for reproaching him.
Implication
Since it discovered that the blackboard worked better with three head offices, the participation of Ter Stegen has been more by his weight and the confidence that have to him by true need, because the priority goes through to give him the ball to Of Jong or play with Alba/Dest in the lanes by speed, with little push from the bottom.
The Ter Stegen able to put an assistance from his arch diluted in the course of the season and when having every time less participation with the ball, is normal that a goalkeeper lose the confidence and security when handling the balloon, that already of by himself would have to use it less than his mates.
Exhibition
The defence has not been the best zone of the Barcelona this season and just with line of three at the end saw him less exposed, although this was more for having greater weight in attack that by pulir defensive appearances, something that Koeman has slope for the next season. Or his substitute.
The disorder and bad operation of the first line finished for exposing much more to Ter Stegen, that keeps on being of the best in the world but before had the virtue to achieve more rival in 1 against 1, his main fortress. For this season, the German had of expensive all type of shots, played of 2 against one and until own mates disturbing in his area.
It does not remove him his merit and weigh the current season, but is true that the bajón of Ter Stegen (estadísticamente) complicated until more not being able to to the Barcelona this season, that without being the elder of his problems, some additional complication left.
