They are not easy moments for Marc-André ter Stegen in the selection of Germany. The guardameta of the FC Barcelona knows acting in the combined Teutonic, since the presence of Manuel Neuer still valid has prevented him do with the indisputable titularity in the goal of 'Die Mannschaft'. The player knows that it will live the Eurocopa from the bench, a situation that does not like him neither a bit.
