Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen says his goal is to show coach Luis Enrique that he is worthy of more first-team minutes.
The Germany international signed for the Liga leaders last summer
from Borussia Monchengladbach and was handed the No.1 jersey vacated by
the departing Victor Valdes.
However, all of his appearances have come in the Champions League
and Copa del Rey, with the 22-year-old keen to usurp Claudio Bravo as
the club's first choice keeper.
"The truth is that I have full belief in myself," he said at a press conference.
"My recent games have gone well and I want to keep going as I have
been. My only goal is to continue helping the team and we're still
moving along, so I want to play.
"It's not easy when you're not in the rhythm, but I'm playing in the
Champions League so I don't lose my rhythm. I'm happy with this
situation; it's fine for me.
"I obviously intend to play at a high level to show the boss that I can play more."
The Catalans take on Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their
Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday and Ter Stegen wants his
team-mates to replicate their performance against Manchester City in the
last 16.
"We always want to perform at our best and I think we put in a great performance against City," he added.
"It was dangerous at times. We're focused on the game. I think that
when we're focused we always have a chance of winning. We're hungry."
