Chapter 94 Discussion
De Gea is a youth training product of Atletico Madrid youth team. At the age of 10, he joined Atletico Madrid's football school for professional training. Since then, until he was 18 years old, De Gea has always been a member of Atletico Madrid's youth training system.
At the age of 18, De Gea signed with Atletico Madrid to become a professional player and began to represent Atletico Madrid in the second division.
For a goalkeeper, 18 is really too young. Atletico Madrid did not consider introducing De Gea to the first team, but planned to let him practice in the low-level league and then loan him out for recycling. Only then did De Gea have the ability to stand on the stage of La Liga.
One month after the turning point.
At the beginning of the 20092010 season, Atletico Madrid introduced Sergio Asenjo for 500 million euros, but Asenjo later temporarily left the team because he represented Spain in the 20 World Youth Championships 21.
So De Gea was promoted to Atletico Madrid's first team for the first time and officially became the No. 2 goalkeeper.
Being promoted to the first team, less than a month later, De Gea's luck came again. In a Champions League match away from Porto, the main goalkeeper's accidental injury left the court, allowing De Gea to be ordered to check the team in a dangerous situation and get the chance to play.
Although Atletico Madrid lost 02, De Gea, who was only 18 years old, got a precious opportunity to make a debut.
After that, De Gea's performance became out of control.
De Gea took advantage of the opportunity of substitutes to play and participated in the game, and he always performed stably and outstandingly. When the victory came, De Gea had stabilized his goalkeeper position.
With such a talented goalkeeper, Wan Sheng would not let De Gea play the main player because of his age.
According to the memory of the previous life, De Gea would go to the Premier League with a net worth of nearly 25 million euros in 2011. In other words, in just one season, De Gea's value increased by more than 20 times.
This shows how outstanding De Gea is!
Now De Gea has returned Wan Sheng's trust. When facing Iniesta's shot, De Gea calmly waved his foot from Iniesta, judged the direction of the football in advance, and then he rushed out to that side.
Barcelona fans were shouting that they were all going to celebrate the goal, but De Gea made a very accurate pass.
The football rushed directly into De Gea's arms!
"Iniesta! Iniesta! Iniesta!"
"Shot"
Spanish National Sports TV broadcaster Fernandos Sanchez Bob was shouting nervously, and the tone was raised completely. At the normal rhythm, the shouting of a "" syllable was immediately followed by a "syllable" syllable, but the syllable was stuck in his throat, because the next moment, the young goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid threw the ball.
Yes, I hit it!
It wasn't saving it, it was just holding the ball in its arms!
Fernandos San Bob grew up and then reacted, swallowed the syllables that were on his lips, and shouted again, "De Gea! De Gea! Atletico Madrid's 20-year-old young goalkeeper made a great save!"
"This is a great save, sorry, but it's not an exaggeration to describe it as great!"
"Faced with Iniesta's shot from ten meters away, De Gea accurately threw the ball into his arms! This save cannot be described as an exaggeration! It's so amazing! It's so amazing!"
"De Gea, only 20 years old, the information shows that he is still 7 months away from his 21st birthday, but he is already on the stage of La Liga and makes a great save, which is quite incredible for a goalkeeper!"
"What can a 20-year-old goalkeeper perform in the top league?! Just look at De Gea, he is simply amazing!"
"In the summer, Atletico Madrid introduced Roberto, but after he arrived, he could only serve as a substitute for De Gea. He was dissatisfied with his position, so he left during the winter transfer. Now when we see De Gea's performance, we know why the wins made De Gea play the main player!"
"De Gea is a complete Atletico Madrid youth training product. Perhaps he will become the most successful player in Atletico Madrid youth training in recent years!"
""
Amid the numerous discussions, De Gea became the protagonist, and undoubtedly De Gea will definitely become the central figure in media reports after the game.
In fact, after de Gea entered the first team of Atletico Madrid and stabilized with the team's performance, he became well-known in Spain.
After officially becoming the main goalkeeper this season, De Gea has been constantly reported by the media.
He is no longer a little player with little fame.
In January after Christmas, News of the World assessed De Gea's value at around 13 million euros. Atletico Madrid also plans to sign a contract with De Gea. Atletico Madrid, he is only 20 years old, has been ranked among the stars.
Atletico Madrid has shown excellent offensive ability in the league, so several offensive players, such as Ozil, Raul Garcia and Aguero, have been constantly mentioned, and the defense also includes the goalkeeper position, feels a bit overlooked.
Now that De Gea plays out, it will definitely attract many media to report.
De Gea's save undoubtedly dealt a serious blow to Barcelona's morale!
This is the best opportunity that Barcelona has ever obtained until now. Iniesta's shot of about ten meters was accurately thrown into his arms by the opponent's goalkeeper. It is simply unimaginable.
The chance to tie the score is gone.
The game time has entered stoppage time, and Barcelona has no fighting spirit to continue to attack. They also began to look forward to the end of the first half soon and return to the locker room to rest and adjust.
In stoppage time, the two sides attacked each other in a wave.
After that, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, and the two teams returned to the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game.
All Atletico Madrid players breathed a long sigh.
Leading Barcelona with one goal is definitely very beneficial to the team, but it was so tiring in the first half that they urgently needed time to relax.
On the way back to the locker room, many people were talking about Aguero's goal and De Gea's save. Aguero's goal was not surprising at all, and there was nothing particularly easy to talk about. De Gea's save was the key point, and everyone was hotly discussing this.
De Gea is constantly praised by his teammates.
De Gea is only 20 years old and is not that mature. He is obviously a little shy when facing the praise from his teammates.
But this is not over yet.
After Wan Sheng walked into the locker room, his first sentence was to praise De Gea, "David! You did a good job! That save God, I thought I saw God!"
This sentence made the team members in the locker room laugh.
De Gea lowered his head shyly.
The young man was still very happy. He had such outstanding performances, and his teammates and coaches praised him one after another. He felt that nothing was better than this.
Next, Wan Sheng emphasized defense.
He first affirmed the team's performance, and then talked about the players' lack of performance. In the first half, Morris supported, the defense in the middle was good, and Messi basically did not get any chance, but the defense on the left side of Iniesta was still a little worse. Barcelona's several opportunities were basically related to Iniesta.
"You must pay attention to Iniesta, and you must limit his performance!" Wan Sheng emphasized, "The central defender should also make up for defense in time. Don't let Iniesta get the ball in a dangerous area. If the opponent gets the ball, you should also make up for defense as soon as possible."
After that, Wan Sheng talked about the possibility of the second half, especially the concealment of the ball. "If the opponent scores a goal, don't worry and continue to play according to the tactics. I believe that we will at least not lose at the Camp Nou!"
This is a bit pessimistic view.
Wan Sheng had long thought about what to explain to the players.
Compared with Barcelona, the team is still too young. Raphael Varane in the backcourt is less than 18 years old, and goalkeeper De Gea has just passed 20. Even famous stars such as Aguero and Ozil are less than 20 years old. In the lineup, 25 and a half years old, Phillip Luis is already the second oldest, and the 33-year-old Morris is only the older.
This Atletico Madrid is undoubtedly a young team.
Although there is no need to talk about the experience of the game, age means immaturity. Immaturity in the heart will lead to problems that can easily arise when the team encounters difficulties.
In the match against Barcelona, the biggest difficulty is undoubtedly the opponent tied the score.
This will affect the mentality of the entire team.
Wansheng is to hope to eliminate the impact to the greatest extent and allow the team to perform normally when they are caught up with the score, so that they can strive for victory as much as possible.
So at this time, he must explain to the team.
During the intermission, many media commentators and commentators were talking about the game.
The Catalan media made various criticisms and satirical criticisms of Wan Sheng and Atletico Madrid. They were dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid's conservative style of play and believed that Atletico Madrid should play against Barcelona in a dignified manner.
Of course, they may be dissatisfied with the score, but they just changed the statement.
Other media analyzed the first half of the game from tactics and performance perspectives and concluded that "Atle Madrid's defense was very good, and Barcelona lost the ball with a defensive mistake."
This sentence can cover the first half.
Regarding the second half, media analysts believed that Atletico Madrid would definitely continue to strengthen its defense, and for them, "this is the best choice."
Madrid media hold optimistic views.
Atletico Madrid was suppressed in the half, but it had the advantage in the score, which shows that the strategy of winning is correct. For the game, whether it looks good or not is second to the point. The key is to win. Atletico Madrid has done a very good job in this regard.
So the Madrid media began to look forward to how to praise Atletico Madrid after defeating Barcelona. To be continued.
