1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[KingMessi]

Actually his first name is Marc-Andre, but that doesn't matter

Hyphen shmyphen. The first half of his first name is still the same as Bartra's.

 

[suckabov]

That's great. I wonder if he talks to Marc and Sergi in spanish or english.

In English, for now:

1:05

 

[Galning]

Wish I could hear more of Bartra's English accent I really like it, same with Piqué and others. Sounds awesome.

Can't really make out what Ter Stegen was asking either, only understood "and it's always like this?"

That was more Spanglish than English by Bartra. lol
But yeh, most La Masia boys opt for English as one of the languages while still being formed. Thiago is another who speaks english fluently.

Was Mats not supposed to be learning spanish for like 2 years before he signed? Either Domínguez was a poor teacher, or he didn't really put much effort.

Why is Zubi there? Someone tell him to get back to work on finding a CB

He's scouting Huelva.

 

[Galning]

Seriously, how many times are people going to freak out whenever they see Zubi? You guys do realise Zubi is the technical director, right? Not an actual scout. Yes, he scouts players every once and a while but it's not like it's the only thing he has to do.
God knows what he's doing there. They might have a meeting with an agent, player, club, ... who knows.

It was a joke. I probably should have made an effort to make that clear.

 

[Galning]

It was more directed at Jaden and some other board members in general I understood the joke. It's just annoying to see people blaming Zubi for everything, especially this summer where he's done pretty well so far. Also, Barça not having signed a centre back for all these years is not Zubi's fault which some people seem to believe. As if he's the one making the decisions. Travelling with the team? Zomg WORK!

 

[Qonny]

Could see ter Stegen doing his best to show his quality, and he did according to me!

 

[blaugrana1987]

Ter Stegen seriously looks like Manuel Neuer's younger brother. That German goalkeeping.

 

[Galning]

Never got tested but great distribution.

 

[linetty]

Loved that German confidence in our goal.

 

[Flavia]

He's so composed. Looked a different class to masip, or my biased eyes were in full control
