The 33-year-old De Gea is still the top goalkeeper in today's football!
In the seventh round of the Serie A match that ended in the early hours of this morning, Fiorentina, who are playing at home, will face the challenge of AC Milan, which has been gaining momentum recently. In the end, thanks to De Gea's two consecutive penalty saves in this game, the Purple Lilies won 2-1 at home to AC Milan and achieved this crucial victory. As the biggest contributor to Fiorentina's win in this game, De Gea was undoubtedly named the Player of the Match award after the game.
In this game, De Gea saved Teo Hernandez and Abraham's penalties in the 46th and 56th minutes respectively, giving the Rossoneri soldiers a real sense of what a wall of sighs is. In addition to saving two direct penalties, De Gea also made seven saves in the game, and if it weren't for Pulisic's goal, the Spain goalkeeper might have kept a clean sheet. De Gea also instigated Fiorentina's second goal in this game, and it was the Spain goalkeeper's big foot that instigated the attack and helped Gudmundsson score the winning goal.
David De Gea made two consecutive saves in this game, and the Spain goalkeeper became the first goalkeeper in Serie A to save two penalties in a single game in the past nine seasons. The last goalkeeper to do so was former Italy international and former Lazio goalkeeper Marchetti. In the 2015/16 season, in Lazio's 3-1 win over Carpi, Marchetti made two saves in a single game.
David De Gea continues to excel in Serie A and delight all the fans who love him. You must know that as the best goalkeeper in world football, De Gea was at the peak of his career, and he fell into an embarrassing situation where no one cared about him, and his career once came to an end. (When he was 31 years old, the Spain goalkeeper was ruthlessly abandoned by Manchester United just after winning the title of Premier League goalkeeper of the season, and he did not find a new owner for a whole season).
Now, De Gea has used his practical actions in Serie A to slap his old club Manchester United and those teams who look down on him in the face. As a goalkeeper, the 33-year-old De Gea only needs to stop on the goal-line to ensure the team's victory. This season, the Purple Lily chose to sign the Spain god without signing and only need to pay an annual salary of 3 million euros, which is too good a deal from the current point of view. If nothing else, Fiorentina with David De Gea can pick up at least five to 10 more points in Serie A this season. This match against AC Milan is the best example of this.
Abandoned by the Red Devils and now reborn at the Purple Lily, the 33-year-old De Gea is now back strong!!
