German player Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Barcelona goalkeeper, expressed his dissatisfaction with the position taken by the Spanish press against him in the recent period.

Stegen, Barcelona goalkeeper, said today that he feels “calm” about his performance with the team, and said that he is aware of the many things he is doing well, as well as the aspects that must be improved.

The international goalkeeper responded to the harsh criticism leveled by the Spanish press, due to his level with Barca this season.

The international goalkeeper made statements in which he said: “I am sure that the results will improve, in recent weeks some of you (journalists) have written things in order to pour gasoline on the fire, and this is clear to me.

He continued, “I analyze the aspects in which I improve in each game, I am satisfied with my performance because there are many things that I do well, and others that I can improve.”

In his speech, the 29-year-old also touched on the news that he continued to suffer from knee pain as a result of his last surgery.

He explained, “If I’m in poor physical condition, I will not be on the field because I am a responsible person. If there is really a problem, I will not be able to play, and I will not attend the press conference, I am in good shape.”

He commented on the Blaugrana’s performance with Xavi, saying that the Catalan team “is going through a good period,” stressing that since Xavi Hernandez came as coach of Barcelona, ​​the team has been performing “much better than months ago.”

And he was not satisfied with that, but Stegen directed the Spanish press with veiled criticism, and said to them: Just as I do my job on the field, you “journalists” also do your job.
