Manchester United’s embarrassing 4-0 loss to Brentford on Saturday, sealed after just 35 minutes in the first half, drew the harshest criticism from the majority of players, including David de Gea, who utterly missed. on the first two goals. The Spanish goalkeeper, used to defending himself, admitted his guilt in the mixed zone after the match.
“It was a terrible day”
“I lost my team three points. I had a bad performance. It was a horrible day,”
He told the English press.
David De Gea quickly analyzed his two errors. “If I had saved the first shot, the result would have been different,” he said of the first goal, where his not firm enough hand in a low post save saw Josh Dasilva’s strike finish at the bottom of the nets. As for the second, born from a bad ball exit in combination with Eriksen , he indicated that “maybe I have to read the game better and go further”.
De Gea went on to say:
“We’re not like the other teams, who concede first and win 5-1 or 6-1. It was an easy stoppage for the first goal and I felt like everything was okay. worse and worse as you go…”.
“when games are important, you have to have courage and be a good player. We have to keep working with our heads held high. This is just the beginning, with a new coach, and there is has a lot of room for improvement, although I don’t know how, to be honest.
“The team must take responsibility”
In a post-match press conference, his coach Erik ten Hag had asked his players to take responsibility after this heavy defeat. Which seems to be done for David De Gea.
“The team must take responsibility and I’m sorry for the fans, we disappointed them, he had launched, admitting a “draw” match. I asked the players to play with conviction and to take responsibility, they didn’t. The manager is the main culprit and I take that on board, but I have to give them confidence and they have to get it on their own as well.”
