Why Ter Stegen continues to be ignored by the German national team

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was blocked by a great wall in his attempt to prove himself as the number one goalkeeper of the German national team. He is still considered no better than Manuel Neuer.

Ter Stegen's career with the national team seemed to contradict his career at club level. He has proven himself as the Blaugrana number one goalkeeper with impressive performances in La Liga and the Champions League.

Nevertheless, Joachim Loew still believes in Manuel Neuer as Germany's main goalkeeper. Even when Neuer was injured long in the second half of last season, he was still selected as the number one goalkeeper in the 2018 World Cup.

In addition to a long injury, Neuer conceded just four goals when Germany lost to the Netherlands last week. However, this situation is not enough to make Loew change his mind. He has confirmed that Neuer remains the first choice.

Ter Stegen may not understand this situation but he is still willing to wait for an opportunity to prove himself. At the moment, the focus is on Barca and is working hard to add a total of 22 appearances for Germany.

It's hard to imagine Loew going to change his decision before Euro 2020. However, for now, it seems he is not interested in changing his mind.

"My decision is still the same: Manuel Neuer is number one goalkeeper, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen will get his chance this year," said Loew.

Verification of Ter Stegen

Loew's comments could lead to pros and cons. However, his position is not really safe after the nightmare of Germany in 2018 then.

Germany is said to need a revolution, both the squad and the coach. Neuer was once the number one goalkeeper in the world, but his performance was not really special after a long injury.

On the other hand, there is Ter Stegen who has never disappointed Barca in years. Loew might have to change his mindset for the sake of the German national team.
