I believe that many Manchester United fans feel the same as me, many games this season, without de Gea Adam's daddy save, Manchester United may not have scored points. From a data point of view, he has now completed 84 saves, ranking first in the Premier League save list, 13 more than leeds united goalkeeper Messlier in second place.
Since the previous season, he has continuously conceded goals due to low-level mistakes, resulting in nearly full support for Dean Henderson's rise to power. So far, Dean Henderson has been sitting on the bench without anyone feeling unreasonable, and even began to feel that it was a win-win to rent it out. This shows a problem in all its aspects: the brave De Gea has returned.
Goalkeepers are a position where confidence, trust and opportunity are in great need, and de Gea's return is due to many reasons.
First, De Gea began to save himself.
Last summer, De Gea hired his mentor Alvarez as his personal trainer. It should be known that alvarez has previously been completely "opposed" to De Gea and Manchester United: he unilaterally announced through the Spanish media that De Gea had "betrayed" him in order to renew his contract with a high salary at Manchester United, which eventually led to his departure from Manchester United.
The deep-seated reason is that Alvarez himself "did". In Manchester United's pre-season at the time, Alvarez made a big mistake in the hotel where Manchester United was staying, drinking until more than 4am on the floor where there was a "bet" item. This directly touched Sochaux's reverse scales, because Sochaux had just announced the management rules of the team, and there was no doubt that Alvarez, de Gea's fixed coach, had become the one who left Sochaux in the rectification. At the same time, Manchester United also gave the Spanish goalkeeper a high salary extension in the consideration of combining various aspects of reality and out of the consideration of appeasing De Gea.
As for Alvarez's public "diss", neither Manchester United nor De Gea has made a plea. This in itself is problematic, and de Gea hired Alvarez alone last summer to train himself, which is not in line with the logic of "anti-eye".
It was alvarez's special training for De Gea that allowed him to find himself in the familiar training mode. Similarly, the harsh public criticism that De Gea encountered after the Europa League final last season also made him start a full range of self-help. After all, he hopes to play in the World Cup in Qatar. Unai Simon, whom Enrique trusts, is a goalkeeper with a lot of low-level mistakes.
Second, De Gea's luck was really good.
Dean Henderson's infection with COVID-19 and the point at which he suffered a hip injury were very unfortunate. This allows De Gea to get enough playing time in self-improvement and resilience. With the "moisture" of the appearance time, De Gea's play is getting better and better.
Third, the Manchester United problem broke out, and De Gea was more suitable for "anti-pressure".
Sochaux eventually stepped down this season because he didn't integrate new signings into the new system that was inherent or ready to be polished. Coupled with the fact that many key points of Manchester United have suffered injuries, or because the consumption of national team matches has shown a significant decline in status, the situation of constantly being impacted by opponents is everywhere. In this situation, De Gea's attack ability is still weaker than Dean Henderson, but his save response is still better.
Moreover, in the past season of "picturesque frontcourt, backcourt De Gea", the Spanish goalkeeper has long been familiar with this pressure model. De Gea, who is constantly regaining his feelings, has regained his confidence and state with the courage of saving again and again.
