Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has confirmed that Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will become the club’s first-choice goalkeeper following Manuel Neuer’s retirement, Sky Germany reported on Monday.  ( zbet911 )

zbet911s Ter Stegen joined Barcelona from Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer of 2014 and has since become a mainstay in the Blaugrana, but despite his impressive displays he was often a back-up to Neuer for the German national team until the 38-year-old announced his international retirement in August.  zbet911s

That opens up the door for Ter Stegen to step up to his long-awaited position, with Stuttgart’s Alexander Nubel facing serious competition, before Nagelsmann confirmed the 32-year-old from Barcelona will be Germany’s number one ahead of their Nations League games against Hungary and the Netherlands on September 7 and 10.  ( zbet911s )

‘Ter Stegen is the new number one goalkeeper, he has been captain of Barca for many years and he is clearly number one there, he is the same for us,’ the 37-year-old confirmed on Ter Stegen’s status.

‘I don’t want to unnaturally heat up the competition behind him. Oliver Baumann played very well last season and also impressed at the European Championship. Alexander Nubel also did well at Stuttgart last year.’

‘The battle behind him is still open, including the battles with Kevin Trapp and Bernd Leno. It’s important to decide who is number one.’
