Chapter Ninety-Four: Discussion

De Gea is a youth product of Atletico Madrid's junior team, joining Atletico Madrid's football school at the age of 10 for professional training, and has been a member of Atletico Madrid's youth system until the age of 18. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the age of 18, De Gea signed with Atletico Madrid as a professional player and began representing Atletico Madrid B in the second division.

18 years old is too young for a goalkeeper, and Atletico Madrid is not thinking about bringing De Gea into the first team at all, but intends to let him experience in the lower leagues, and then go out on loan to recycle, and then De Gea will have the ability to stand on the stage of La Liga.

A month after the turning point.

At the beginning of the 2009-2010 season, Atletico Madrid brought in Sergio Assenjo for 500 million euros, but Asenjo left temporarily due to the fact that he represented Spain's U-21s in the U-20 World Youth Championship.

As a result, De Gea was promoted to the first team of Atletico Madrid for the first time, officially as the second goalkeeper.

Less than a month after being promoted to the first team, De Gea's luck came again, and in a Champions League game away from Atletico Madrid's trip to Porto, the main goalkeeper was injured and left the pitch, allowing De Gea to be called in for the team to be called in for the team and get the chance to play.

Although Atletico Madrid lost 2-0, the 18-year-old De Gea was given a valuable debut.

De Gea's performances were out of control after that.

De Gea has been on the bench to play consistently, and by the time the win arrived, he had already settled himself as the starting goalkeeper.

With such a talented goalkeeper, Wan Sheng will not let De Gea play the main team because of his age.

According to the memory of the previous life, De Gea will go to the Premier League in 2011 with a value of nearly 25 million euros, that is to say, after becoming the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid for just one season, De Gea's value has increased more than 20 times.

This shows how good De Gea really is!

Now De Gea repaid Wansheng's trust, and in the face of Iniesta's shot, De Gea very calmly waved his foot from Iniesta, judged the direction of the ball in advance, and then he slammed into that side.

The Barcelona fans were chanting that they were all about to celebrate the goal, but De Gea made a precise save.

Football straight into De Gea's arms!

――――

"Iniesta! Iniesta! Iniesta! ”

"Shoot-"

Fernandos Sanchez Bob, the broadcaster of Spain's national sports television, was nervously shouting, the pitch was completely raised, and according to the normal rhythm, followed by a shout of the "Go" syllable, but the syllable was stuck in his throat because the next moment, the young goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid saved the ball.

Yes, pounced!

It's not a save, it's a complete cuddle in your arms!

Fernandos Sambob grew his mouth, and immediately reacted, immediately swallowing the syllables that came to his lips, and yelled again, "De Gea! De Gea! The 20-year-old goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid made a great save! ”

"It was a great save, sorry, but it's not an exaggeration to say 'great'!"

"In the face of Andres Iniesta's shot from 10 meters out, De Gea saved the ball in his arms accurately! It was an overstatement! It's amazing! It's amazing! ”

"David De Gea, who is only 20 years old, has seven months to go before his 21st birthday, but he is already on the stage of La Liga and has made great saves...... For a goalkeeper, it's incredible! ”

"What can a 20-year-old goalkeeper do in the top flight?! Just look at David De Gea, he's just amazing! ”

"In the summer, Atletico Madrid brought in Roberto, but when he arrived, he could only be used as a substitute for De Gea, he was dissatisfied with his position, so he left in the winter transfer, and now we see De Gea's performance, we know why Wansheng simply let De Gea play the main team!"

"David De Gea is a complete Atletico academy product and perhaps he will become the most successful player in Atletico's academy in recent years!"

“…………”

In the midst of much discussion, De Gea became the protagonist, and there is no doubt that De Gea will be the central figure in the media coverage after the game.

In fact, De Gea has made a name for himself in Spain after breaking into the first team at Atletico Madrid and playing well and steadily.

After officially becoming the main goalkeeper this season, De Gea has also been constantly reported in the media.

He's not a well-known kid anymore.

In January after Christmas, the News of the World assessed De Gea's value at around €13 million, and Atletico Madrid also intends to re-sign De Gea, who is already a star at the age of 20.

Atletico Madrid have shown excellent attacking ability in the league, so several attacking players such as Mesut Ozil, Raul Garcia and Sergio Aguero have been reported and mentioned, and the defensive aspect also includes the goalkeeper position, which feels a bit overlooked.

Now that De Gea is playing, it will definitely attract a lot of media coverage.

――――

De Gea's save was undoubtedly a serious blow to Barcelona's morale!

This is the best chance Barcelona has had so far in the game, Iniesta's shot of about ten meters was accurately saved in the arms of the opposing goalkeeper, which is unimaginable.

The chance to tie the score is gone.

The game time has also entered stoppage time, Barcelona did not even have the fighting spirit to continue to attack, and they began to hope that the first half would end quickly and return to the dressing room to rest and adjust.

In stoppage time, the two sides attacked each other in waves.

The referee then blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two teams returned to their dressing rooms to prepare for the second half.

The Atletico Madrid players all let out a long breath.

A one-goal lead over Barcelona was certainly a great favour for the team, but the first half was so tiring and they desperately needed time to relax.

On the way back to the dressing room, a lot of people were talking about Sergio Aguero's goal and De Gea's save, Aguero's goal was not surprising at all, there was nothing particularly to talk about, De Gea's save was the point, and everyone was talking about it.

De Gea was constantly complimented by his team-mates.

At just 20 years old, De Gea is not yet so mature and is visibly shy in the face of praise from his team-mates.

But that's not all.

After Wan Sheng walked into the locker room, the first thing he said was to praise De Gea, "David! Well done! That save...... Oh my God, I thought I saw God! ”

This sentence made the players in the locker room laugh.

De Gea bowed his head shyly.

The young lad is still very happy in his heart, to have such a good performance, his teammates and coaches have praised him, he thinks there is nothing better than this.

The next thing Wansheng emphasized was defense.

He first affirmed the team's performance, and then talked about the lack of performance of the players, in the first half of the game, the central defense supported by Morris did a good job, Messi basically didn't get any chances, but the left side defense Iniesta was still a little worse, and the few chances Barcelona got were basically related to Iniesta.

"You have to pay attention to Iniesta, you have to limit his play!" Wan Sheng emphasized, "The central defenders should also make up for the defense at the right time, don't let Iniesta get the ball in the danger zone, and if the opponent gets the ball, he must also make up for it as soon as possible." ”

After that, Wan Sheng talked about the possibility of the second half, especially the situation of conceding a goal, "If the opponent scores, don't worry, continue to play according to the tactics, I believe that at least we will not lose at the Camp Nou!" ”

This is somewhat pessimistic.

Wan Sheng had already figured out what he was going to explain to the players.

Compared with Barcelona, the team is still too 'young', Raphael Varane at the back is not yet 18 years old, goalkeeper De Gea is just over 20, even Aguero, Ozil and other famous stars, are not yet 23 years old, in the starting lineup, the 25-and-a-half-year-old Felipe Luis is already the second oldest, and the older than him is only 33-year-old Morris.

This Atletico Madrid team is undoubtedly a young team.

Although there is no need to talk about the experience of the game, but age also means immaturity, and the immaturity of the heart will lead to problems when the team encounters difficulties.

Against Barcelona, the biggest difficulty is undoubtedly that the opponent equalises the score.

It takes a toll on the mentality of the whole team.

Wansheng hopes to eliminate the impact to the greatest extent, so that the team can play normally when the score is caught up, so that the best possible victory.

So at this time, he has to give an account to the team.

――――

During the intermission, many media commentators and commentators were talking about the game.

The Catalan media is nothing more than criticizing and satirizing Wan Sheng and Atletico Madrid, they are dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid's conservative style of play, and believe that Atletico Madrid should play against Barcelona in an upright manner.

Of course, they may be unhappy with the score, but in a different way.

Other media analysed the first half of the game from a tactical and playful point of view, and came to the conclusion that "Atletico Madrid's defense was very good, and Barcelona conceded a goal due to a defensive mistake." ”

This sentence can cover the first half.

For the second half, media analysts believe that Atletico Madrid will definitely continue to strengthen their defense, for them, "this is the best option." ”

The Madrid media are optimistic.

Atletico Madrid was suppressed in the half, but the score was superior, which shows that Wansheng's tactics are correct, for the game, whether it looks good or not is secondary, the key is to win, in this regard, Atletico Madrid did quite well.

As a result, the Madrid media also began to look forward to how to sing the praises of Atletico Madrid after the victory over Barcelona. (To be continued.) )
