A World Cup is just a little preparation time, the participating teams are squeezing out a little space from the tight league schedule to select and train intensively, a huge squad, which is not only complete preparation, but also the greatest recognition and encouragement to their national players. In the talented Spanish team, the most controversial is the central striker and goalkeeper positions, and the latest 55-man squad does not have the name of Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.
▲An era is over
It is reported that the Spanish national team has submitted this squad to the National Football Federation, so we will not see De Gea in the World Cup next month. The major live broadcast platforms learned that this letter can be described as a lot of scolding, Manchester United fans even scolded Enrique for having no eyes, and did not give a reasonable explanation, is it because the scene of De Gea being beaten by Ronaldo in the last World Cup made Enrique linger?
▲ Enrique just can't look at Daddy Duck
Enrique values "traditional qualities" more?
Since the last World Cup, De Gea seems to have been knocked into the cold by Luis Enrique, and it is obviously unconvincing to say that it is the age factor. David De Gea remains the strongest link in the defence at Manchester United, and his goalline ability is hard to find in the Spanish goalkeeper. Last season, David De Gea was voted United's Player of the Season. Manchester United have gone all the way up after a poor start to the season, and David De Gea continues to be indispensable. However, Enrique is completely unimpressed, believing that the goalkeeper he chooses must have traditional qualities such as ball control and ball ability, and Unai Simon is clearly far superior to him in this regard.
Maguire: I'll make an aggravated return pass later
Admittedly, the ability to play the ball has always been De Gea's weakness, and his passing success rate at the back this season has not been high. In addition, the passes given to him by defenders such as Maguire at the beginning of the season are always "challenging", and he not only has to accept difficult return passes one by one, but also coldly prevents his teammates from playing with fire. Luis Enrique has questioned De Gea's ability to play on his feet more than once, in fact, during the Van Gaal period, De Gea often used long passes to find high points (such as Fellaini), and now Manchester United has no real high points, De Gea's long balls have nowhere to play, and they are rusty over time.
This man is now a teammate
In fact, De Gea has been having trouble with the Spanish national team, with only 45 appearances, which is too little for a world-class goalkeeper. While this is a good thing for Manchester United, anyway, it is a time when the league and Europa League are tight, and his own "duck daddy" is healthy enough to protect the team. And when the contract expires next summer, Manchester United may sharply cut the salary extension on the grounds of "no appearance in the national team", no matter how you look at it, it will not be a loss.
▲ In fact, I am willing to accept the substitute position
Not even eligible to be a substitute?
Since Luis Enrique has taken a hard look to put Simon in the main goalkeeper position, can he follow the example of De Gea as a substitute goalkeeper? At least the players themselves are acceptable, and it's hard to imagine anyone keeping Spain's door secure in the heat of the World Cup fixture if Simon had an accident. In addition to Simon and Robert Sanchez, there are now as many as three goalkeepers on the list, David Raya, Kepa and Soria.
▲ Can "Guidance Kai" really be ordered in danger?
In addition to Simon, several other people have extremely shallow experience in the Spanish team. Among them, Kepa, who has been in good form recently and successfully counterattacked at Chelsea, can be looked forward to, but his nerve knife-like play is really not absolutely reassuring. The remaining three may basically be soy sauce characters. Even if Enrique declared: "I would like to have three goalkeepers competing for the starters, I think I have them now... I need a goalkeeper who can stay calm and calm, that doesn't mean they don't make mistakes, and making mistakes is part of football. ”
▲ Duck Dad finally said goodbye to the World Cup
Being a man of the rhetoric about allowing mistakes is a contradiction between De Gea and his outstanding performance in the league and his contribution to the national team, which is a contradiction between Enrique's words and actions. Simon can be forgiven for such a serious mistake in the European Championship, and Luis Enrique has helped him build his confidence to secure his position in Spain, so why not take David De Gea as a "double insurance"? After all, this may also be the last World Cup of "Daddy Duck".
