Romero deserves to start in the Europa League final.
Degea was caught in the rumours of a move to Real Madrid and was not included in the squad for this game. The famous journalist balague broke the news: "Real Madrid dressing room is convinced that Degea will become a Real Madrid player and he will earn less." If the Spanish goalkeeper does move, the 37th Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur in the 20 16-20 17 season may be the last battle of his Manchester United career, because Mourinho will use goalkeeper Pereira in the final round and Romero will start the Europa League final.
Earlier, Mourinho had made it clear: "I think it is fair to let Romero start in the final, and Degea accepted this, especially because Degea also participated in three Europa League matches, two against Feyenoord and one against Fenerbahce. This also means that if we win the championship, Degea can also win the trophy with the team. If all goes well and we don't encounter any problems, Romero will start in the final. "
This game is Romero's "warm-up" for the Europa League final. People expected him to stand the test, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly: in the 5th minute, Bailly handball was fouled outside the penalty area, but the referee on duty, mike dean, awarded a penalty. Italian striker Gabriadini took the penalty. He and Romero were teammates of Serie A team Sampdoria, and they knew each other well. In this battle of wits, the Red Devils goalkeeper won a great victory, and his judgment was completely correct. He dived to the right and saved Gabriele Adini's shot with one hand!
The data shows that Romero is the eighth goalkeeper in Manchester United's history to save a penalty in the Premier League. You know, flapping is his specialty. In the semi-final of the 20 14 World Cup in Brazil, he saved penalties from Folad and Sneijder of the Netherlands, and he also successfully dived several times in the last two Copa America. The British media praised: "With this jump, Romero deserves to start in the final." Gary Neville, a famous Manchester United player, also shouted on Twitter: "Stockholm Romero (the venue of the Europa League final in 20 16-20 17 season)!"
Saving the penalty is just the beginning of the show. Romero used five wonderful saves to keep the door open in the game. Saint winger Raymond's long shot from his right foot was firmly caught by him, and Tadic's strong shot from his left foot was bravely resolved by the Argentine goalkeeper, especially the curveball in front of Ward Palisse's restricted area, which was beautiful enough. Romero danced more beautifully, relaxed the ape arm and hit the ball out of the baseline!
In the 38th round, Mourinho should start No.3 goalkeeper Portugal U2 1 goalkeeper Joel Pereira, so that Romero can concentrate on preparing for the Europa League final. 20 16-20 17 season, his performance is trustworthy: 17 started, 1 1 game kept clean sheets, conceded five goals in one * *, and Manchester United 13 won and drew unbeaten. More importantly, the Argentine international has rich experience in finals. 20 14 World Cup, 20 15 America's Cup, 20 16 Centennial America's Cup Final, the main goalkeeper of Pampas Eagle. Unfortunately, Romero was runner-up three times. Can he break the fate with Manchester United this time?
