According to the Spanish media Daily Sports, all members of the Barcelona locker room support Ter Stegen to continue to serve as the team captain, and the players are unwilling to betray their teammates due to the club's request.

Originally, the voting election for the new Barcelona captain was scheduled to be held this week, and coach Frick also made a promise that he would complete the captain election before the start of the new La Liga season. In fact, according to Barcelona's tradition, the new captain's candidate should be determined before the Gambel Cup, and during the Gambel Cup, the players wearing the captain's armband will deliver speeches to the public on site as usual. However, the club's unwillingness to allow Ter Stegen to continue to serve as captain due to controversy over the public injury time, which has put the club in a rather difficult situation.

Barcelona locker room collectively expressed opposition to this. The players felt that the conflict between goalkeeper Ter Stegen and the club was only at the competitive level and had nothing to do with their teammates. Everyone hoped that the storm could be quelled as soon as possible. If they can follow the players' wishes, Ter Stegen will continue to be the captain.

In recent days, many Barcelona players have publicly expressed their attitude, emphasizing that Ter Stegen is still the team's well-deserved captain. Some players even contacted Ter Stegen directly during their trip to the United States and told him clearly that unless the club makes an unprecedented move - cancel the captain's vote, they will never make concessions on the captain's candidate. The players knew very well that such a conflict might come to anyone in the future, so they didn't want to see such a dangerous precedent being created.

According to Barcelona's usual practice, the locker room usually selects the captain based on the player's qualifications. But this time, the club hopes to try to break this rule, hoping that coach Flick can nominate a player with great prestige in the locker room as captain.

And although Barcelona does have the power to modify the captain's election rules, the players firmly refuse to make compromises. If the club initiates disciplinary procedures, it will inevitably try its best to remove Ter Stegen from the captain's shortlist.
