One of the big decisions that Hansi Flick has had to make in recent months is that of his starting goalkeeper. Marc-André Ter Stegen’s serious knee injury had left the position vacant and, at least for now, it is left vacant by previous substitute Iñaki Peña, despite the arrival of Wojciech Szczesny.
According to MD, Peña spoke about his feelings about the situation and also paid tribute to Flick for the faith he has shown.
“On a mental level I am the same, but everything adds up and especially if you play games you gain confidence. The first results I had when I entered the goal were positive. “I am very grateful to Flick for the trust he has shown me.”
Pena had a difficult time when he replaced Ter Stegen last season, although he is happy to have the opportunity to make another contribution for Barcelona.
“Last year the results in the Super Cup, the final, hurt us. At the group level the season was tough and when I had to play it was the decisive stretch of the season, but last year I don’t even remember. On a personal level I am very good, it is important to play games with continuity and I think it shows.”
