David de Gea

will reach his thirties next November.

And he will do so without having managed to tear off the label of a suspect goalkeeper, a sentence that goalkeepers, always goalkeepers, maintain forever.

History usually refers to the Brazilian

Moacir Barbosa

, despised after the defeat in the 1950 World Cup final. Legend has it that, years later, he grabbed an ax and smashed the posts of Maracana to burn them at the stake.

What difference does it make.

No exorcism could be enough.

He already looked dead in life.

Goalkeepers are not used to allowing redemption.

There will always be a new game to play.

Another goal to concede.

After his replacement in Portugal, De Gea returned to the title in the national team against Switzerland after a new series of stormy days in

Manchester

.

Up to eleven goals had been received by the Spanish goalkeeper in his first three games of this

Premier

, six of them scored by

Tottenham

in the last debacle at

Old Trafford

.

De Gea advertised a photograph stretched out, looking at the sky - more like nothing - and a text apologizing.

Few times a forward must apologize in the mistake.

Two realities in the same sport.

Although this last duel of

Spain

against

Switzerland

will soon be forgotten due to the discreet nature of the game, perhaps De Gea would like to recall one of the most aesthetic stops of his future with the national team.

A granite hand after the hammer blow from

Loris Benito

.

An action that should have opened the scoring for Switzerland.

Luis Enrique's bet for the Eurocup

Luis Enrique Martínez, determined that it is De Gea who defends his goal in the next

Eurocup

, has to go listing arguments in his favor.

Hence, the coach has spent weeks pampering him in his media pulpit.

In the draw against Germany in this League of Nations, he had already claimed "a cover" for De Gea.

«It would be nice if it was said that we have a great goal.

But as it is not going to happen, I already tell him.

Praise has been denied for the United goalkeeper since his participation in the 2018 World Cup in

Russia

.

Yes, that stormy tournament in which the Spanish team was eliminated in the second round by the host, and in which De Gea only made one stop in four games.

As far as is known, he did nothing with the sticks from the

Luzhniki

stadium

in Moscow.

Meanwhile, and with

Kepa

in the basement of

Chelsea

, Spain can dilute some debate.

It's not little.

In

Kiev

awaits a

Ukraine

that yesterday fell at home against

Germany

(1-2).

Those of

Joachim Löw

, after their first triumph in the League of Nations, should play the lead of the group with Spain on November 17.
