A legendary Spanish keeper focused on Marc-Andre Ter Stegen after being shocked by the captain of Barcelona.
The Catalan outfit announced on Thursday that they removed the bracelet from the German and opened the disciplinary procedure after a stunning medical dispute.
It is after the 33-year-old was reportedly not prepared to sign a consent form with which the club could sign him as an injury in the long term to exclude him from their salary registration.
Ter Stegen returned to the fitness at the end of last season after tearing his patella tendon, but was forced to undergo surgery on his lower back last month.
Barca brought in the 24-year-old goalkeeper Joan Garcia from local rivals Espanyol in July and hoped to discharge the veteran this summer. His rehabilitation and desire to stay, however, has put an end to the possibility that this will happen this summer.
Instead, the club has been given a different approach to make room in their wage account for Garcia and Manchester United loaner Marcus Rashford, whose salary of £ 315,000 a week is covered by the Catalan side.
Signing medical leave in the long term would have enabled Barca to erase 80 percent of its wages to the middle of the season and meets the financial fair play rules of La Liga. But the recent announcement of Ter Stegen on social media that he would be put aside for three months – a month shorter than the absence that should be considered as an injury in the long term – it is said that club management made it angry.
And former Spain, Real Madrid and Valencia goalkeeper Santiago Canizares has beaten the behavior of Ter Stegen.
'A captain represents the players in a match and at the negotiating table when it comes to bonuses or a dispute, he told El Partidazo de Cope. He can't be lazy, create a bad atmosphere or be selfish.
“He must be an example. He must encourage everyone to commit and perform well, to be a team player, to have a good atmosphere and try to resolve conflicts.
'But if you create conflicts. If you have an open war with the club, it makes no sense that the player is a captain. The captain would now be there to resolve the conflict of Ter Stegen. '
'If he has not played, his behavior has a lot to be desired. But like many Germans, they have that behavior. They must be starters. We keepers are guilty of being selfish, because if we don't start, we don't play all year round. '
In a statement on Thursday, the club said: 'FC Barcelona announces that, after the disciplinary procedure that was opened against player Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and until this issue was definitively resolved, the club, through mutual agreement with the sporting direction and the coaching staff, has decided to draw his role as the first team captain.
“During this period, the tasks of the first captain will be adopted by the current vice-captain, Ronald Araujo.”
