Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen: Why Coutinho doing better than Dembele...

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen insists the players appreciate the arrival of new teammates Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.

Ter Stegen says they believe the pair have improved them.

He said: "I think we have new players that have made us even stronger and we hope they feel good and comfortable in the team, that they adapt very quickly, but we want to give them some time.

"I think Coutinho is very calm. He is good and is a good person. He can easily focus on football, build his skills, and adapt to the Barça style, the way we play, and it's exactly the same for Ousmane. For Coutinho, it's a little easier because he already speaks Spanish, Dembélé needs to learn the language as quickly as possible, to feel good in the locker room with his partners."
