The goalkeeper David de Geainternational with the Spanish team in two World Cups and two Euro Cups, stated that the focus he has David RayaArsenal’s goalkeeper, is possibly younger than other goalkeepers because he plays in the Premier League.
There are people who are doing very well outside of Spain who also deserve credit
“Surely Raya has less focus. Now the Premier League is seen a little more, but before only the Spanish League was seen and the Premier was not seen at all. There are people who are doing very well outside of Spain who also deserve credit. Playing in England as a goalkeeper is very complicated and in a bigger team,” De Gea expressed in the mixed zone to EFE after the defeat of the Fiorentina against Crystal Palace in the first leg of the Conference League quarterfinals.
“The other goalkeepers in Spain are doing very well
“The other goalkeepers in Spain are doing very well. If they all continue at this level, they are decisions that the coach has to make and I am sure he will look out for the good of the team,” he added.
David de Gea joins the debate about Spain’s goal for the 2026 World Cup
A little more than two months before the World Cup, both Unai Simón (Athletic Club de Bilbao) like David Raya (Arsenal) and Joan Garcia (Barcelona) They are playing to be the starting goalkeeper of the Spanish team along with Álex Remiro (Real Sociedad)which could also enter the equation.
In the last call, coach Luis de la Fuente decided to include the four in the call and opted for Simón in the match against Serbia and for Raya and Garcia against Egypt, with Remiro being the only one who was left without playing.
“The one who decides is the coach. The team is doing wonderfully and they are complicated decisions because there are high-level goalkeepers. In Spain there have always been and what he decides will be very good,” De Gea stressed.
David De Gea also experienced a similar situation in the 2016 Euro Cup when he started ahead of Iker Casillas, undisputed until now, which led to great controversy due to the decision made by Vicente del Bosque.
