Marc-Andre ter Stegen on the relationship he had with Claudio Bravo

Marc-Andre ter Stegen spoke about his relationship with Claudio Bravo, after both goalkeepers shared the duties in the previous two seasons before the latter was sold to Man City. 

“The manager is the one who decides who plays and I all I can do is give my all in training,” said Ter Stegen. 

“I always had a good relationship with my team-mate [Bravo]. Last year was difficult, because we both wanted to play. Now there’s a new team-mate [Cillessen]. 

“[Leaving the club is] not something I’m not worried about now. All players in the team want to play and give 100 per cent on the pitch. The situation was difficult for us both and he’s found a solution which is better. I’m here with Barça and I’m not thinking about other teams. There’s nothing more. 

“I don’t want to think about [if playing a third year with Bravo was possible], it’s in the past and I’ve left it to one side. It doesn’t worry me now. I’m thinking about the games from now on. It was a difficult situation for all of us, because Jordi [Masip] wanted to play as well. My situation has improved, and that’s what matters for me.”
