The elimination of Germany in the phase of groups by second World-wide consecutive did that several important names of the selection were distinguished. The German Federation was criticised for expecting until the Euro to do change of trainer, whereas footballers like Thomas Muller or Manuel Neuer remained like the big managers of not surrendering to the highest level and in front of part of the fans and the press asked to the 'holy cows' that they had to leave his place.
Few days after that failure in Qatar the forward of the Bayern of Munich himself announced that it withdrew of the football of selections, although the guardameta ensured that it would be until they followed it taking into account, and showed his 40 years as a moment in which it would consider his exit of the German selection, although an injury esquiando and a big Marc-André ter Stegen can accelerate this process.
The footballer of the FC Barcelona is being one of the three better goalkeepers of all Europe this season, and surely of the world. The renewal of the defence culé has brought again to the best version of the '1' Barcelona and precisely this place wants to occupy, of definite way, in his selection. Respectful, but at the same time decided, Ter Stegen has left clear his posture regarding being the new guardameta title in the 'Mannschaft'.
It is decided
Neuer, that will fulfil 37 years in this month of March, suffered a fracture of tibia in December and really anybody knows if the captain of Germany and of the Bayern will recover of similar injury to a so advanced age for a footballer. In front of this uncertainty, the own Ter Stegen has wanted to leave clear that expects "that it happen a good period of rehabilitation and that go back strong. This is what wish him from the human point of view, but also like footballer and mate".
With almost 7 years less, the goalkeeper of the Barça equally wanted to leave clear that his aim is to be the headline in the Euro 2024, a tournament that besides will contest in the own Germany. "That is my aim, of course", underlined to 'Kicker', where also stood out: "I Want to be an important player in the selection. Therefore, now it is important for me play a lot and surrender in the Barcelona and in the selection. I think that my performance along the last years has been correct, that have matured and am smart to give the following step".
