Marc-André Ter Stegen

"Messi in the gloves" - such a nickname was given to the goalkeeper of Barcelona and the German national team Marc-Andre ter Stegen for his ability to combine the talent of performing brilliant saves and accurate passing kicks. However, the career of a footballer who wears the number 1 on a Catalan club shirt has not always remained cloudless and easy. There were also difficult periods in the goalkeeper's biography.

The future Barca goalkeeper was born on April 30, 1992 in Monchengladbach, Germany. The surname is not common among Germans, although by nationality the young man belongs to them. The origin of the family originates from Dutch ancestors.

The boy grew up with his older brother Jean-Marc. The boys started chasing the ball between the garages when Mark-Andre was two years old. By three, he already had a good command of the game. The grandfather of the young athlete drew attention to such early manifested abilities. The man advised his grandson's parents to send the baby to the football section.

Adults took ter Stegen to training, despite the bad weather and employment. At the same time, as the footballer recalls, the family did not put pressure on his son, supported in the game and in training, which helped the boy to achieve success.

At the local children's club, the novice footballer first took the position of a field player. However, soon Mark-Andre liked the position of the goalkeeper, although the teammates preferred to score goals. The coach liked it better when the kid was in the frame. The little goalkeeper began to praise for the success in the goal, he began to like this role more and more.

The goalkeeper recalls that as a child the idol was the goalkeeper of the German national team and the club "Bayern" Oliver Kahn, who finished his career in 2008.

In the fifth year of his life, the boy was lucky enough to get on the list of students of Borussia, located in the center of his hometown. Ter Stegen's football childhood and adolescence were spent at this school, which the young man graduated from in 2010.

Immediately after leaving the school "Borussia" ter Stegen gets into the second team of the club, taking the place of the main goalkeeper. Both first-team goalkeepers, Logan Bailly and Christopher Heimerot, made an incredible number of goal errors in the 2010-2011 season. The club was in danger of relegation from the Bundesliga.

Then the newly appointed coach gave a chance to the young Marc-Andre, who took a place in the goal. In the first meeting the goalkeeper conceded only one goal, and the team won 5:1. Subsequent matches were played with brilliance. Not without the help of Marc-Andre Borussia retained its place in the League. Every season before leaving the club ter Stegen invariably occupied the place of the first goalkeeper on the field.

In 2014, Barcelona agents became interested in a talented young man. In the same season the goalkeeper's transition to the dream team took place. On May 22, a contract was signed, and the goalkeeper replaced the outgoing "blue-granate" unstable Victor Valdez. The transfer amounted to 12 million euros.

The footballer made his debut for the Blues on July 19 in a friendly against Recreativo. Ter Stegen came in the goal in the 46th minute of the match.

The beginning of his career at the club is not successful for the goalkeeper. Before the start of the season, Marc-Andre suffered a back injury during training. The young footballer had to miss the first matches, and the Chilean Claudio Bravo appeared in the goal.

Returning to the pitch, the German makes a number of mistakes, conceding frankly ridiculous goals against Barca and causing outrage of fans. According to the decision of the coach Bravo remains the main goalkeeper in the championship, and ter Stegen goes into the frame in the matches for the cup. Gradually Marc-Andre got used to Spain, learned from his own mistakes the necessary experience, and the goalkeeper's exit on the field can no longer be called a failure.

In August 2016, the German's rival Bravo moves to Manchester City, and ter Stegen becomes the unchanged defender of the Catalan goal. In the same year 2016, the club extended the contract with the goalkeeper on more favorable terms for the player, including the increase in salary.

By the way, the goalkeeper's debut at the world level was not cloudless either. In 2012, the player was not included in the national team due to a friendly match with Switzerland, when he conceded five goals. At Euro 2012, however, as at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Manuel Neuer went to defend the national team's goal. Ter Stegen's success in the national team was overtaken at the Confederations Cup in 2017.

An interesting fact remains the unique style of play for the goalkeeper Marc-Andre. Most often, goalkeepers are divided into two types: those that show the upper class in the frame, performing brilliant saves, but at the same time insecurely playing with their feet. The second type is those who are not ideal in the gate, but perform accurate pitches to fielders. Ter Stegen manages to combine both types in the game, becoming a versatile defender of the goal.

Gianluigi Buffon, the legendary goalkeeper of the Italian national team, calls gianluigi Buffon an ideal and a real idol in the game. According to Marc-Andre, the Italian's incredible performance at the age when others finish his career is striking and remains an example for goalkeepers.

Behind every successful man is a loving and understanding woman. Marc-Andre ter Stegen was no exception. The beloved goalkeeper for five years remained a beautiful Dane Daniela Jele. The young men met when the German played for Borussia Dortmund.

The girl moved to Spain, where she continued her studies as an architect. In 2017, during several weekends, outstanding in the goalkeeper's tight playing schedule, the pair legalized the relationship, officially becoming a family.

According to fan ratings, ter Stegen's wife was repeatedly recognized as one of the most beautiful and charming companions of football players. The goalkeeper himself prefers not to advertise the details of his personal life.

Marc-Andre's Instagram and Twitter pages mainly post on career and games. But Daniela pleases subscribers with bright photos with her husband.

Until the young family had children. But in the house lives the couple's favorite dog, with which in the photo on Instagram often cuddles Daniela.

In addition to football, the goalkeeper is fond of riding on various modes of transport. Marc-Andre admitted that obtaining licenses to manage everything from a motorcycle to a gyro scooter can be attributed to his hobby.

Last season in the "blue-granate" was incredibly successful for the goalkeeper. According to statistics, the goalkeeper has the highest percentage of saves sold in the group stage of the Champions League, which is 92.86%. In the Spanish league, the goal difference is incredible: 52 against 9.

It is worth remembering the appearance of ter Stegen at the Confederations Cup in Russia in 2017. The German national team won the Cup, and the goalkeeper was officially recognized as the best player of the final match.

It is clear that the young footballer's sincere upset when he did not join the national team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup by the decision of coach Joachim Loew.

Goalkeeper number one and captain was a higher, stronger physique and, of course, more experienced Manuel Neuer (growth ter Stegen 187 cm vs. 193 cm neuer, the weight of Marc-Andre - 85 kg, 92 kg at Manuel). However, in the interview ter Stegen expressed readiness to give his best and help the team as much as possible.
