Amelia: Fiorentina keeper De Gea best in Serie A; he’s inspiring his teammates

Amelia says the former Manchester United goalkeeper is the best performing player in Serie A this season.

He said on Radio FirenzeViola: “He is the goalkeeper who has achieved the highest performance and contributed to his team's results and for this reason he can be the strongest in Serie A, where there are many strong goalkeepers.

“The triple rescue? I saw it, it was three different interventions on the same occasion and the most difficult was the last, because he got up with a burst of energy, which is not easy, it is physically demanding. Therefore it shows that he is in in excellent physical condition.

“Fiorentina played a less exciting match in Como, but they brought home the result partly thanks to that decisive intervention.

“It is the strength of goalkeepers from big clubs, who may not be called upon much and in that case you have to be ready. De Gea is good at being ready even on that one occasion after a 30-minute stop, especially if he hasn't taken action.” at home where the opponents can distract you.

“When a goalkeeper with that experience puts in such performances on the pitch, it makes everyone perform great. He responds big, as do all his teammates, and there is a positive atmosphere and the performances come as a result of that.”
