Hansi Flick has indicated that he has provided specific orders to goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to avoid a repetition of his costly error in Barcelona’s 2-1 defeat to Monaco.
The early red card in Barcelona’s Champions League opener was attributed to a wayward pass by Ter Stegen, which Bayern Munich coach Flick acknowledged had a significant impact on the match.
Ter Stegen’s performance has received significant criticism on social media. Flick voiced his backing for the German goalkeeper but emphasized the importance of preventing such mistakes.
Flick explained that Ter Stegen’s proficiency with his feet, along with his strong shot-stopping skills, are among his key strengths. His capacity to initiate plays from the defensive line is integral to the club’s tactical approach.
“Errors are inevitable; they are a natural aspect of humanity. After analyzing the situation, I trust that my explicit instructions will prevent a recurrence. I do not think it will.”
