Rubinho praises David De Gea: “He brings Fiorentina back to the times of Toldo and Frey”

Rubinoformer Brazilian goalkeeper with a long career in Italy Genoa, Palermo, Leghorn, Turin,Juventus And How now having become prosecutor, he spoke to the microphones of Radio FirenzeVioladuring the broadcast “Garrisca al Vento”, starting with a consideration on the first victory in Florence of his former teammate at the time of Griffin, Raphael Palladino: “Winning is always good for the locker room and the environment. But next time we start from scratch. We start from here, with high morale and with three more points”.

How do you rate De Gea’s performance?
“De Gea is still suffering from having been out for more than a year, but he has already helped Fiorentina a lot in these first games. I think he can only grow further and show everyone the qualities he has. He is a top goalkeeper and seeing him defend the Fiorentina goal reminds me of when there were the likes of Toldo and Frey.”

Has he definitively benched Terracciano?
“Goalkeepers need to feel confident on and off the pitch. Terracciano was a goalkeeper who, even in a match in which he played well but at the end made a mistake, the fans criticised him. De Gea, on the other hand, even if he doesn’t have a top performance, is still De Gea. The Spaniard has the trust of the environment because he gives a lot of security. Terracciano didn’t have that much confidence”.
