It was really David De Gea's match and if it wasn't for Girona's goalkeeper, who kicked essentially three penalties, you could say that David De Gea is the real hero of the game day.
We should also take the note that De Gea was practically a year without practice and trained by himself, so the achievement is more than serious. Fiorentina are probably already happy that they offered him a contract with the possibility of extension and despite the fact that he is the highest paid player of the team, David De Gea fully justifies the money invested in him.
I am not surprised by this because basically De Gea is a very qualified goalkeeper and he has shown his quality since the beginning when he joined Fiorentina even though he has not been active in playing for a long time.
And it cannot be denied that De Gea is an influential player in leading Fiorentina to victory over AC Milan because of the 2 penalties that he was able to thwart.
And if we look at it from another side, AC Milan's defeat is inseparable from their failure to rise to change the game of the team that has not shown its best performance since the beginning of the season.
Paulo Fonseca is currently under real pressure now, it is already week 7 but he still has not been able to make changes in AC Milan's performance.
When Manchester United didn't renew De Hea's contract and instead bought Onana for 50 million, it was clear that it was probably the decision of Ten Hag who didn't want De Hea in the team. because even 2 years ago De Hea could have remained at least a backup goalkeeper and a contract extension would have cost 7-10 million.
Now De Hea brings wins for Fiorentina not only in Serie A, but he also helped Fiorentina qualify for the Europa League.
Fonseca got into a bad situation when he said that the penalty in the game with Fiorentina should have been taken by Pulisic, as Milan's marquee penalty taker, but in the end two penalties were taken by 2 different players and now it is not clear whether Fonseca is in control of his team or not?
Because it seems to me if players of the team twice didn't follow the coach's instructions in such an important moment is a sign of not the best discipline.
