Santiago Canizares believes Marc-Andre ter Stegen should be stripped of the Barcelona captaincy amid disputes over his medical status. Ter Stegen declined to sign a consent form allowing the club to share his medical report with La Liga, while the club asserts he will be out for four months following back surgery. This situation could impact Barcelona's ability to register new players, such as Joan Garcia. Canizares argues a captain must set an example and that Ter Stegen's behavior contradicts this responsibility, creating unnecessary conflicts with the club.
"A captain represents the players in a game and at the negotiating table in the face of a bonus issue or conflict. You can't be lazy, create a bad atmosphere or be selfish. You have to set an example."
"He has to inspire everyone to be committed and give good performances, to be a team, to give good vibes and try to solve conflicts with the club or team-mates."
