DBasia.news – Manchester United goalkeeper, David De Gea responded after many criticized the way he played.
De Gea’s quality as one of the best goalkeepers in the world cannot be doubted. Performing glorious saves had become his routine.
But De Gea is considered to still have shortcomings. What he meant was his ability to build attacks from below.
These components have now become an obligation that must be owned by modern goalkeepers. The development of football has made the role of a goalkeeper not only to block the opponent’s shots.
De Gea is considered not to have this ability. This is also one of the reasons he was left out of the Spanish national team.
De Gea is also said to be struggling to meet the goalkeeper qualifications wanted by the new Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag. The Dutch tactician also relied on the goalkeeper to start the attack.
De Gea denied that he did not have the ability to start his team’s attack. He has carried out this task since joining Manchester United.
“I think I’ve shown it. If you watch my game with the national team or when we played with Sir Alex at the start (of my arrival), you can see it, so I don’t have to show it to anyone,” De Gea said.
“As always, I’ll stay calm, calm and try to show that to the team by playing from the back. But the most important thing for me is to make saves and help the team.”
De Gea really doesn’t talk nonsense. The accuracy of the 31-year-old player’s long pass is adequate.
This can be seen in the three pre-season test matches that have been played by Manchester United under the tutelage of Ten Hag. De Gea did carry out that role quite well.
“We want to build the game from the back, I’m ready to give the option to the players to play from behind. Of course, I’m also ready to give the long balls.”
