Ter Stegen, sidelined and mistreated: Barça confirms its contempt for the German

Ter Stegen has become a major problem for Barça that's going to be difficult to solve. The German goalkeeper still refuses to give in regarding his medical report. The club doesn't want him to be used so they can register the new signings.

Despite being the captain, the blaugrana club is showing how it acts. They have no respect for him and are trying to pressure him in every possible way. To such an extent that they want to sideline and discredit him, so he doesn't ruin the plans they have.

So, Barça has decided to take the armband away from Ter Stegen, who is no longer the captain. He had always been the authorized voice in the locker room even when he didn't have that responsibility. In times of failure, he would speak up to encourage his teammates, even though that wasn't his job.

Now they've thanked him in this way, when he didn't want to be used by the club. Barça shows once again that it only sees its players as numbers and not as people. They don't even respect their captain's privacy, whom they try to pressure in any way.

Ter Stegen is very critical of the club's way of acting

Ter Stegen has shown himself to be a brave captain, loyal to his principles above other aspects. That's why he criticized the huge contract Messi had, sinking the club when he was the armband bearer. That hasn't been the only time he has spoken up.

The goalkeeper doesn't agree with the transfer policy the club has followed in recent years. They keep bringing in players despite having severe financial problems. Also with no room to register them, which forces them to juggle things to make it happen.

That's what's happening again and this time they wanted to use his injury for it. Ter Stegen has refused because he believes that's not the way to treat a person, who is also its captain. Barça is using it by opening a disciplinary file against him.
