The Spanish shot-stopper is aiming to secure a gold medal this summer after being named as La Roja’s first choice defender of the posts.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463 has enjoyed cult status in Manchester after rising to top-form at the end of the season.
Having signed for the Red Devils last summer, he failed to perform when it mattered most and by December was ousted from the starting line-up by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anders-Lindegaard-c5553.
The Dane was seen as Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s obvious choice after putting in some spectacular saves but injury curtailed his imperious run in the team.
De Gea was then named in the line-up for the crunch tie against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in February, where he showcased some of his potential by stopping an onslaught of attacks from the Blues.
After the showing at Stamford Bridge, his confidence soared and he eventually proved his worth at Old Trafford, confirming his position as a first choice starter.
Although he wasn’t picked for the European Championships, he is set to take part in the Olympics and claims that he will take the competition very seriously by staking his share for the gold.
"We are calm, we want to play our game and be at 100 per cent and go match after when we are in London. The entire team is eager to try to get http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 a medal. The Euro 2012 squad? They made history, we cannot do more than try to emulate them,” the talented
glove-man was quoted as saying.
The Red Fury have a number of top goalkeepers at their disposal, with current skipper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 topping the list.
However even the Real Madrid man has conceded that De Gea can reach greater heights than him in the future, but will need to keep focus on his domestic career first before turning to the International arena.
Manchester United see the former Atletico Madrid man as a long-term asset in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and considering his young age, it is expected that he will remain first-choice for at least a decade or so if he continues to shine at the highest level like he has done
since the start of the year.
