"Messi in gloves" - such a nickname got a goalkeeper "Barcelona" and the national team of Germany Mark-Andre Ter Gägegen for the ability to combine the talent of the execution of brilliant savors and accurate transfers. However, a footballer career who wears number 1 on a Catalan club T-shirt, not always remained cloudless and easy. Happened in the biographies of the goalkeeper and difficult periods.Childhood and youth
The future goalkeeper "Barca" was born on April 30, 1992 in Monachengladbach, Germany. The surname is not common among the Germans, although by nationality, the young man belongs to them. The origin of the family originates from the Dutch ancestors.
The boy grew together with the older brother Jean-Marcel. The boys began to drive the ball between the garages when Marcu-Andre turned two years. To three, he has already done the game azami well. The grandfather of a young athlete drew attention to such early. The man advised the parents of the grandson to give the baby to the football section.
Adults took the ter Ghehegen to workout, despite the bad weather and employment. At the same time, as a footballer recalls, the relatives did not presumably on the son, supported in the game and in training, which helped the boy to achieve success.
In the local children's club, a novice football player first occupied the position of the field player. However, soon Marcu-Andre liked the position of the goalkeeper, although the teams were preferred to score balls. The coach liked more when the kid stood in the frame. The little goalkeeper began to praise for success in the gate, he began to like this role more and more.
Goalkeeper recalls that in childhood, the goalkeeper of the German national team and the club "Bavaria" Oliver Kan, who completed his career in 2008.
In the fifth year of life, the boy was lucky to get into the list of students of Borussia, which was in the center of the native city. Football Childhood and Youth Seres Gödhegen took place in this school, which young man graduated in 2010.
Football
Immediately after the release from the Borussia school, Ter Gödhegen falls into the second composition of the club, taking the place of the main goalkeeper. Both goalkeepers of the team of the first composition, Logan Bayia and Christopher Highimot, allowed incredibly many mistakes at the gate in the 2010-2011 season. The club stood under the threat of departure from the Bundesliga.
Then the appointed coach gave a chance to young Mark-Andre, who took the place at the gate. In the first meeting, the goalkeeper missed only one ball, and the team won with a score of 5: 1. With brilliance, follow-up matches. Not without the help of Mark-Andre "Borussia" retained registration in the league. Each season, before leaving the club, Lähegen invariably occupied the first goalkeeper on the field.
In 2014, Barcelona agents were interested in a talented young man. In the same season, a goalkeeper transition to the dream team took place. On May 22, the contract was signed, and the goalkeeper replaced the extended "blue-pomegranate" unstable Victor Valdez. The transfer amount amounted to € 12 million.
The footballer was debuted for the "blue-pomegranate" on July 19 in a friendly meeting with "Recreative". Ter Gothegen went to the gate for 46 minutes of the match.
The beginning of the career in the club can not be called successful for goalkeeper. Before the start of the season, Mark-Andre was injured during a workout. The young football player had to skip the first matches, and Chilean Claudio Bravo appeared at the gate.
Returning to the field, the German makes a number of errors, passing frankly ridiculous goals into the Gate "Barca" and causing outrage of fans. By decision of the Coach, Bravo remains the main goalkeeper in the championship, and Ter Gothegen goes into the framework of the Cup matches. Gradually, Mark-Andre was mastered in Spain, learned from his own mistakes the necessary experience, and the goalkeeper yield on the field could not be called fail.
In August 2016, the Competitor of the German bravo goes to Manchester City, and Ter Lähegen becomes the unchanged defender of the Catalans gate. In the same 2016, the club extended a contract with a goalkeeper on a more profitable environment for the Player, including with an increase in salary.
By the way, the debut of the goalkeeper at the world level was also not cloudless.

On Euro 2012, however, as the 2014 World Championship in Brazil, Manuel Neuer went to protect the national team. The success of Lähegen in the national team on the national team on the Confederations Cup in 2017.
An interesting fact remains unique for goalkeeper style game Marka Andre. Most often, goalkeepers are divided into two types: those that show the highest class in the frame, performing shiny saves, but at the same time there are uncertainly playing legs. The second type is those who are imperfect in the target of the gate, but perform accurate films of field players. The ter shyman manages to combine both type in the game, becoming a versatile protector of the gate.
At the same time, the perfect and real idol in the game of Gägen calls Janluigi Buffon - the legendary goalkeeper of the Italy national team. According to Mark-Andre, an incredible Italian game at that time, when others are completing his career, amazes and remains an example for goalkeepers.
Personal life
Each successful man is a loving and understanding woman. Mark-Andre Ter Gägegen did not exception. For five years, the beloved goalkeeper remained beauty-Dane Daniela Yel. Young people met when the German played for Borussia.

Mark-Andre ter Glue now

According to statistics, the goalkeeper has the highest percentage of seizes in the group stage of the Champions League, which is 92.86%. In the Spanish Championship, the difference between the balls is incredible: 52 against 9.
It is worth remembering the appearance of the termination of the center at the Confederations Cup in Russia in 2017. The German national team became the winner of the Cup, and the goalkeeper was officially recognized as the best player of the final match.
Clearly sincere disorder of a young football player, when at the FIFA-2018 World Championships, by decision of the Joachim coach, Lyva Ter Gächegen did not enter the main structure of the national team.
