Friedel and de Gea, two decades of contrast

Goal

Old Trafford, Theatre of Dreams. Tottenham visited the manor of Manchester United in the second round of the Premier League. Two old friends than a year faced its forces, but this time both were in other hands. Van der Sar and left your site Gomes De Gea and Brad Friedel to defend their goals. Two good archers hired this summer with one major difference: the second, forty years, twice his age to the first twenty.

One has now been fourteen years in the Premier League, while the other debuts this year. When De Gea even born, and Friedel was at UCLA looking for a place in professional football. When the Spanish had four years, the American was in his first World Cup. When the Spaniard had seven springs, the Ohio sign for Liverpool. And in yet, today they have found the pitch to defend the goals of two of the biggest teams in the Premiership.

De Gea came and won with 17 when he showed from the first game that Calderon had the goal of the new owner. Just two years later, one of the best clubs in the world would spend twenty million per his record. A Friedel cost much more to gain a foothold in the Premiership after wandering through the world until their thirties, but it was not until his move to Blackburn in 2000 when he became one of the best goalkeepers in the league. After eight years and three in the Rovers, Aston Villa this summer came to Tottenham to be the only signing to date. However, to the position in which Redknapp suffered most last year, when the lodge was occupied by the irregular Gomes. Today they have a goalkeeper of guarantees.

Thus, the duel was served. The game started for the U.S. busy when he had to pull a trigger reflexes to clear the red devil in a magnificent Cleverley stop. A taste of what was coming. The United did not clarify his ideas and was circulated over the ball in his own field, delaying the possession to De Gea regularly. The Spanish goalkeeper will also be coming in the new phase to be handled with the feet, a task that has brought with flying today . Van der Sar, one of the pioneers in these conflicts, set the bar very high. Even De Gea had to haggle over the frivolity of Van der Vaart, who ended up making it necessary. With what has been raining in recent days, De Gea has the personality and the courage to do these things is a great sign.

GEA

There was too much work for both goalkeepers, but a couple of shots of the spurs from the edge of the Spanish area without problems solved. The second part would be different but like the previous start: with a fine save from Friedel throw from Ashley Young, one of the best attack in Manchester. However it could not prevent the opening goal after Ferguson's defensive forgetfulness and a header Wellbeck unappealable. Just five minutes later would have to cope with a failure at the edge of the area. Seconds before launch, the cameras focused foreground Friedel, in which the veteran expressed his face and over the years in contrast with the goalkeeper that was to rival yesterday. Rooney would get the fault by good sense, but again the American star in a major intervention.

The work is building up to the defense of Tottenham Friedel and also, the result of outrageous 82% possession of the Red Devils. Even a Chilean had to stop. With little danger, though. But on 76 minutes start to see that their work would have its reward on the scoreboard when Anderson made the second of Manchester. Then a section would lead the party in the Tottenham goal would come to rival and worst moments came when De Gea made ​​it clear that the air is not strong or when pad two balls that should have their gloves trapped. However, none of those plays resulted in a goal. Former Atletico you are costandacquire the confidence, however has his hand to his fans, great support and applaud each of their successes.

All hope for Tottenham would end on 87 when Rooney scored the third headed goal. The celebration would play the head, perhaps fearing that his hair implant had suffered a mishap. Once again the Spurs defense offered all the facilities. The game ended as it began: with a new stop Friedel merit. The American completed a great performance fit despite three goals, while De Gea received no goal, but lost the individual duel. These are the things you have football.
