One of the games I had most fun being part of the match chat, honestly.

it?s a friendly & we have practically a C team out for half the game before anyone comes in the replies crying

Boca would have won this if Xavi started with any of Ter Chit, Pique, Bob, Umtiti, Alba, and Busi.

Because of ter Stegen.

AFAIK all of Valverde, Koeman and now Xavi intended on bringing their own GK Coaches as most managers do, but he was kept because of ter Stegen.

It was even reported that ter Stegen only renewed on the condition that de la Fuente would stay.

Sounds familiar. Very stupid if true. Typical of Bartomeu though. Not that there isn't any development, MAtS seems to get worse year by year which is very uncommon for a goalkeeper his age.

So the guy is here since before Ter Stegen. Survived 3 presidents and multiple managers.

And all that barcaforum comes up with is this shite story on how De la Fuente is kept at the club because Ter Stegen wants it.

Dumbest theory around if you ask me.

Neto is even worse than ter Stegen

No shit Sherlock. Who would have thought?!

Football managers in here would rather put their family members in goal instead of Ter Stegen. Because anything instead of Ter Stegen works.

We should've made Cillessen first choice.

Except it's been reported by multiple outlets.

What outlets mate? Catalan media and then all the phonies on tweeter and other websites copy-pasting the same thing?

Nah, I copied it off there

At least that's what was reported. Also, Setien actually brought his own goalkeeping coach.

Elsewhere, Marc-Andre ter Stegen has preferred to work with Jose Ramon de la Fuente as his goalkeeper coach instead of Jon Pascua, who arrived with Setien in January. The Germany international has a great relationship with De La Fuente, which has raised questions about the need for two goalkeeping coaches.

There were also rumours about Xavi and Koeman wanting to bring their own goalkeeping coaches, but in the end De La Fuente always stayed. Now we can say it's all bullshit, but there seems to be a connection between MAtS and Ramon. And yes, Ramon was already at the club before MAtS joined.

My criticism towards de la Fuente might have been premature tbf. MAtS developing in the wrong direction could be accounted for by his ongoing knee issues in the last two or three years.

Of course there is a connection. When you have a work colleague for so many years it is bound to happen. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

What I'm asking is how De la Fuente survived 3 presidents and a couple of coaches all these years?
