Ter Stegen Back to Adidas Ahead of Juventus Champions League Clash
Update: Following on his surprising switch to the Nike Magista Obra II football boots and Nike Premier goalkeeper gloves on Sunday, Marc-André ter Stegen has returned to his usual Adidas boots and glove combination (Adidas Ace 17.1 Primeknit cleats and Ace Trans gloves) ahead of the Champions League clash against Juventus.
Marc-André ter Stegen Returns to Adidas Boots & Gloves
Ter Stegen trained in Adidas Ace cleats today.
Marc-André ter Stegen, FC Barcelona and Germany goalkeeper, could be officially switching brands shortly. More than one of our followers made us aware of ter Stegen ditching his usual Adidas boots (and gloves) in training today.
Ter Stegen to Join Nike
Replacing Adidas appears to be Nike, which was ter Stegen's choice for both boots and gloves in Sunday's Barcelona training session. Regularly wearing Adidas Ace 17.1 Primeknit cleats and Ace Trans gloves, including in yesterday's Liga game against Espanyol, ter Stegen laced up in Magista Obra 2 boots and opted for Nike Premier goalkeeper gloves.
Despite the fact that today is the first time there's anything to suggest that ter Stegen could leave Adidas, there are a few points that support an imminent confirmation of the move. First, ter Stegen shared the picture on his own Instagram profile, which would be rather odd if he still had a valid contract with Adidas. The fact that neither boots or gloves were blacked-out further supports this angle. Finally, it makes sense for Nike to pick up ter Stegen who is one of five Adidas players in Barcelona's strongest XI, who are of course one of Nike's most important teams.
Either way, one should keep and eye on ter Stegen's feet as well as hands during the next sessions as well as next week's Champions League opener against Juventus.
The Number on the Egypt Puma Kit Came Off
During Egypt's World Cup match against New Zealand, striker Mostafa Ziko was seen wearing a 'damaged' jersey after one of the digits on the front came off. Although he was wearing the number 11 shirt, one of the "1"s fell off, making it look like he was wearing number 1 instead.
The number appears to have been poorly heat-applied to the jersey and gradually peeled off due to sweat during the game. The incident occurred as Mostafa Ziko celebrated his goal, when one of the digits in his number 11 shirt detached, leaving only a single "1" visible on the front.
