Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Koeman doesn’t have the cup keeper
HGiven a designated league goalkeeper and a cup goalkeeper it has become an accepted practice in many football clubs, but Ronald Koeman he made it clear that he did not see her that way Barcelona.
The Dutchman will choose between Marc-Andre ter Stegen and nephew depending on the match, so don’t be surprised if we see the Germans starting in the Copa del Rey.
Remember, in 2007/08 Victor Valdes played in every competition with Frank Rijkaard not wanting to take risks and fully trusting its owner no.
Last year Ter Stegen played in the finals 16 and quarterfinals of the Cup, where Barcelona were knocked out after nephew took an injury against Ibiza.
However, from 2016/17 to 2018/19, Jasper Cillessen it was the undisputed shot from the Copa. Ter Stegen he himself was the cup goalkeeper appointed in 2014/15 and 2015/16, while Claudio Bravo occupied the league jersey.
In previous years, we got used to the Liga-Copa duet from Valdes and Jose Manuel Pinto, and the separation was clear.
Now, it remains to be seen whether Koeman will stay with nephew or put Ter Stegen for Wednesday’s final match against Rayo Vallecano in Vallecas.
He insists he doesn’t have a cup goalkeeper and a league goalkeeper, but time will tell how this works in practice.
