As: Ter Stegen is marginalized, Barcelona captain s pick is complicated

"As" published an article reporting on Barcelona's current captain's ranking.

Telstegen is in a difficult situation in Barcelona and faces the fate of being marginalized or leaving the team, which may trigger a paradigm change in the team's captain's ranking. This team that has always adhered to the principle of qualification priority (as can be seen from Puyor, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Busquets to Roberto and other captains) is now at a turning point. After the current captain Ter Stegen, Araujo and De Jong, who are ranked closely behind in the team's qualifications, have become potential successors.

Last season, Frick has innovated the Barcelona captain's electoral system and voted to select the fourth and fifth captain candidates. Surprisingly, Rafinia and Pedri, two dressing room players with outstanding influence, won. The Brazilian winger even prepared small campaign cards to canvass votes, and his good relationship with sports director Deco, who is directly involved in locker room management, also played a key role.

This summer, Rafinia continues to show its influence on young players. Valde, Fermin and Yamal have all wore the Brazilian jerseys with Rafinia No. 11. This player who has experienced a trough but has successfully made a comeback shows his personality in the locker room.

If Ter Stegen insists on staying in the team after returning from vacation, the situation will become more complicated. By then, when Barcelona starts its Asian tour, the ownership of the captain's armband and the allocation of the team's role will be full of suspense. The club hopes that the matter can be resolved in advance, and the key conversation between Flick and Ter Stegen may be finalized before July 13.
