Flick Acknowledges Communication Failures in Ter Stegen Row as Barcelona Turns to Szczesny

The coach says contact with the goalkeeper has been restored following the deregistration dispute.

Overview

  • Hansi Flick told SportBild that communication in the summer episode "could have been better," including on his part.
  • He said the club collectively chose Joan Garcia to be Barcelona’s future number one.
  • Barcelona sought to de-register Marc-André ter Stegen after his back surgery to register Garcia, and the keeper initially blocked the move before relenting.
  • Flick emphasized Ter Stegen will have full support to return, with the German still unavailable after surgery.
  • With Garcia currently injured, Wojciech Szczesny is set to start in goal against PSG.
