The Spanish shot stopper insists that his side will not ‘park the bus’ and will instead go for a win ahead of their crunch visit to the Etihad Stadium.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, the former Atletico Madrid has strengthened his
case as one of the best youngsters in the game.
His confidence seemed to be the problem, as he endured a slow start to life in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anders-Lindegaard-c5553.
However in a series of unlikely events, the Dane was sidelined and it gave De Gea the chance to become a hero again. Just a few months ago, the Old Trafford faithful would have gasped at the prospect of someone taking a shot at the goal or testing the keeper
with a cross, but now they urge on the Spaniard.
The upcoming derby against Manchester City will be the ultimate test of De Gea and United’s title credentials, and according to the man himself, his side will go for the win tonight, instead of trying to play for a draw.
“We won't park the bus or try to get a point. We don't know how to do it and that would mean giving them the advantage on the match. We are approaching this derby as a final because it really is, but we have more chances than them. They need the victory
and that's an extra pressure they could resent on the pitch,” he said.
“I don't expect a crazy match but rather a tactical one. This is not a knockout tie but a match in which a goal can give you the title, so we have to remain calm. This is the match of the season and we are planning up to the most minimal detail. We cannot
fail,” the La Roja International was quoted as saying.
United play City today, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463 expected to make the starting line-up, barring any late fitness problems.
