Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen has now become a substitute goalkeeper because of Garcia's joining. For Ter Stegen, the reputation of this period is not good. He hopes to use his remarks to defeat Barcelona again as the main goalkeeper, but Frick has clearly told Ter Stegen that the main goalkeeper next season will be Garcia, and Ter Stegen needs to face the choice of waiting and leaving immediately. If you lose the big picture due to small losses and don’t leave now, it will directly affect the 2026 World Cup.

For Ter Stegen, he has discovered his decline in form since the recent seasons, and the impact of injury. Although he is the captain of Barcelona, his strength decline directly affects the team's performance. So it was not until after Frick arrived that Ter Stegen truly realized that he is no longer the first choice for Barcelona goalkeepers.

Garcia's arrival is indeed a reinforcement for Barcelona. After informing Ter Stegen to be the substitute goalkeeper, Ter Stegen is still striving for reason. Now there are two choices for Ter Stegen.

First, waiting for the opportunity

Telstegen does not want to leave Barcelona, which is well known, but as a substitute, Terstegen does not want to do this, so at present, Terstegen has a chance, that is, waiting for Garcia's performance this season.

It can also be said that after the start of next season, Garcia, as Barcelona's main goalkeeper, will definitely start. If Garcia performs very well, then Ter Stegen should still make plans as soon as possible, because there is still a Sczesny, so the opportunity that Ter Stegen is waiting for is that Garcia and Barcelona's playing style is not suitable, or they are not performing well enough in Barcelona. Barcelona gives up Garcia and continue to use Ter Stegen. This is an opportunity for Ter Stegen.

Second, choosing to leave

For Ter Stegen, choosing to leave should be a very wise decision, and the faster the better, but now another problem prevents his idea from arise, that is his injury.

Because fans know that Ter Stegen's injury in the past two years has made him miss many games. In addition to his decline in strength, the absence of injury is also the reason why Barcelona does not want Ter Stegen to stay. According to World Sports, Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen will not go to Japan and South Korea with the team due to the continued back pain. His back pain has not improved.

In this case, whether Ter Stegen needs surgery or conservative treatment is very important, because next year is the World Cup, and he finally survived the World Cup and became the main starter. Now he has encountered this situation again in the club. If the current trend continues, Ter Stegen may also miss the World Cup next year. This is the only opportunity for Ter Stegen to participate in the World Cup to become the main starter.

So, for Ter Stegen, the current situation is to treat conservatively, and then leave Barcelona to find a team that can start, and also have surgery as soon as possible. Four months later, if you have the chance in the winter window, you can leave and join other teams to prepare for the World Cup. In summary, Ter Stegen should not act impulsively, otherwise you may lose the big picture and miss next year's World Cup.
