David De Gea Quintana

Star young Spaniard David de Gea promises to take the place of the world's best goalkeeper. Two well-known clubs are in constant dispute over the right to get an athlete in the squad. It is not surprising that the Spaniard's biography is inextricably linked with football.

David was born on November 7, 1990 in Madrid in the family of the former goalkeeper of the Spanish professional football club Getafe - Jose de Gea. Mother Marivi Quintana is a housewife. The boy became the only and late child of a married couple. The boy grew up in Illescas, which belongs to the Spanish province of Toledo.

The family had an income above average, and the parents provided their son with a decent education and the development of sports talents. However, the mother of the future star goalkeeper was of the opinion that being just an athlete in life was not enough. It is always necessary to devote time to study. David managed to successfully combine both, to the delight of a caring mother.

Soon, the passion for sports, inherited from his father, won. The boy plays for the school football team. Moreover, the young athlete appears on the field in different guises - both as a striker and as a midfielder. De Gea did not always appear at the gates.

By the way, since childhood, David was distinguished by his high growth (now the height of the goalkeeper is 192 cm with a weight of 76 kg). Due to physical data, the young man was fond of basketball for some time.

At the age of 13, de Gea joined the team of the football club Atletico Madrid. In order for the boy to be quickly enrolled in the squad, coach Juan Luis Martin had to go for a trick and announce that another football club was planning to get a promising footballer.

After the start of training in the youth squad of Atlético, David is determined to be a goalkeeper. His father played an important role in the career of a football player. The former goalkeeper spends a lot of time training with his son, comes to the stadium in any weather and bad weather to support and help with advice.

The first professional contract in the goalkeeper's career was signed by de Gea in 2008 with the same Atlético. David started from the position of the third goalkeeper of the club. However, in 2009, fate gave the athlete a chance to be on the field in a game with Portuguese Porto. Although the outcome of the match was not in favor of Atlético, the goalkeeper's performance was positively noted by the club's mentor. A little later, in the match of Examples - the professional football league of Spain, having defended the club's gate with brilliance, David took the position of the main goalkeeper.

The 2009-2010 season was a win-win for Atlético largely due to the impenetrable goal defense. The club took the Europa League Cup for the first time after a 48-year break. It is not surprising that world football clubs became interested in the young goalkeeper.

In 2011, Manchester United's longtime goal keeper Edwin van der Sar decided to end his career on the field. The leadership of the “red devils” has started looking for a candidate worthy to take a place at the gates of the club. The choice fell on the young and promising David de Gea. True, the management of Atlético did not immediately agree to give up the player. The star goalkeeper was needed on the field until the end of the European Youth Championship.

After the Spanish U-21 team won the championship, the clubs transferred de Gea for a record for goalkeepers at the time, the amount of 18.9 million pounds.

The young goalkeeper had a hard time starting his English football career with Manchester United. Increased physical activity and psychological pressure from the team's authority affected the safety of the goal. The Spaniard did not shine in the first two matches for the Red Devils. However, already the third appearance on the field ended with "dry" gates of Manchester. De Gea worked with honor on defense.

Since then, the Spaniard has never tired of justifying the deserved title of the main goalkeeper of one of the world's best football clubs. In 2015, the contract with the English club was extended until 2019. The football player's agent is the famous Jorge Mendes, who represents the interests of such world football stars as Cristiano Ronaldo and Diego Costa.

De Gea also participates in the international representation of the Spanish football team. The national team goalkeeper's career began in the youth youth squad. The goalkeeper played a record 27 matches for the national youth team of the country. In 2011 and 2013, he won the European Youth Championship as part of the national team.

In 2012 he takes part in the Olympic Games. In 2014 he made his debut as the goalkeeper of the Spanish national team in a friendly match against El Salvador at the World Cup. At Euro 2016, he remains the main goalkeeper of the national team.

The young footballer is in a serious relationship with the Spanish singer, TV presenter and model Edurne. The girl is five years older than the chosen one. In 2015 she represented Spain at the international Eurovision Song Contest. True, the singer did not achieve much success, taking only 21 lines in the final.

But his personal life with the goalkeeper of Manchester United is cloudless and calm. Photos of the couple in love with enviable constancy appear in the press and on the Instagram pages of the stars. According to all forecasts, Edurne may well become the future wife of a football player.

In 2012, the goalkeeper was diagnosed with hyperopia. Fortunately, the vision problems did not affect the game and career. Going out on the field, David wears contact lenses.

Although the goalkeeper's girlfriend sings pop songs, de Gea himself remains an avid heavy metal fan. The favorites among the groups are called Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold, whose concerts the goalkeeper attends in Manchester.

The popularity and love of the fans is confirmed by the incredible number of the athlete's subscribers on social networks. Thus, more than 9 million people have subscribed to the keeper's Instagram page.

The success of the Red Devils goalkeeper on the pitch continues to delight fans this season. In 2017, the goalkeeper played his 100th clean sheet during his career with Manchester United.

In recent months, sports experts are inclined to believe that de Gea can be safely awarded the title of the best goalkeeper. Considering that the stellar Manuel Neuer, after his injuries, somewhat surrendered the position of the top goalkeeper, David rapidly rose in the ranking of world goalkeepers.

During 2017 and 2018, disputes and rumors about the player's transfer to Real Madrid do not subside. The Spaniard is closer to a club from his hometown, so it is not surprising that the goalkeeper wants to change the team. However, Manchester is in no hurry to let David go. Leadership negotiations dragged on. The transfer price, which the English club is ready to consider, reaches 100 million pounds.
