In an interview with the World Sports newspaper on December 29, Barcelona goalkeeper Terstgen said: “I don’t think there is anyone like Lionel Messi, who deserves all this. For me, there is no discussion about who is the best in history.”
Your son is about to celebrate his third birthday, and there is no better way to celebrate than a victory in the Battle of the Catalan Derby, right?
“this is our goal, the time of this game is very friendly for the children, I look forward to him to accompany me during this period of time. I hope we can end the year in a good way. ”
What lessons have you learned from this World Cup?
“it is difficult to discuss the result of one situation or another, but I think as a team as a whole, we could have played better, especially in the first game, in which we were in complete control of the game. but in the end we lost 2-1 to Japan. This is what happened at the start of the World Cup, and everything became complicated after that. We need points, so it will be even more difficult after losing the first game. After that we have to play against Spain, they are a strong team. In the end, we were almost eliminated because of the result of the game in Spain. ”
As a regular starter for Barcelona, are you used to playing a substitute role in the national team?
“No, you’ll never get used to it if you have a personal goal. Obviously I want to play more games, but I have to say that Neuer is standing in front of me. He has done very well for the national team over the years. We can’t forget that or the honor they brought before. As always, I will try my best to show my best at Barcelona in order to provide some options when the national team manager has other ideas. I will fight hard for that position. ”
You should think in your head that the starting position will be yours in four years.
“now I don’t think about the national team because now is not the time. The next six months will be very demanding for our body and mind, so now I only focus on the club, focus on what I have to do, and I am very eager to face the next game. ”
What do you think of Barcelona’s state in the second half of the season?
“very good, very much looking forward to it. It’s not an easy situation for the coach because some players play more games in the World Cup and some end on the 18th, which is difficult to deal with. Now we are all focused on the next challenge. ”
After not having a club game for such a long time, would you like to have the intensity of Gartaderby for the first game?
“that’s how it should be. Everyone knows what the derby means to the Barcelona fans and we will do our best. ”
Is being at the top of the list an extra pressure?
“after the games before the World Cup, I think we deserve this position and what we should do now is to try to keep it up in order to win the title. These are things that everyone is willing to do, and we now have the opportunity to continue the good state of the first half. ”
The only “but” for this is that Levan will not be able to play because of his suspension. What has the team lost without him?
“he is a player who can break the balance, but I am calm because we know that the team has a strong quality, especially up front. It is not easy to fill the vacancy of Leavan, but I am sure we will deal with it in another way and the team will also play well. ”
Levan said he had a good relationship with you and Derong.
“what we want most is that the new players can quickly integrate into the team and we will try our best to help everyone. As for Levan, because he speaks German, it is easier to help him integrate quickly. I think he is going very well both on and off the court. I think he likes to play here, he is very motivated, I think he is very eager to succeed here, very eager to show his ability. ”
After Messi left, Levan was the best signing for Barcelona?
“mainly because I think he is a player who can break the balance and Barcelona knew very well what kind of player he was going to sign. He is a player who does not need much introduction, all the honors and achievements he has won, he will be able to help us … I am very happy because he can always help the club and teammates and it is very important to have experienced players. ”
What do you think of Levan’s suspension? the referee committee didn’t believe his explanation.
“I couldn’t comment on what I didn’t see, not even on the pitch, when it was 70 meters or 80 meters away from me. This is their decision and we need to respect it. Although we have different views on this, we accept their decision. Although Levan can’t play, we will try our best to make everything go smoothly. ”
After Lionel Messi won the World Cup, the best discussion in history is over?
“I don’t think there is anyone like Lionel Messi who deserves all this and I hope he can get the satisfaction he always needed. But for me, this discussion never existed. ”
Did you send a message to Macy? Roberto said he sent it, but Messi didn’t reply.
“it should be that too many people send messages to Macy.”
