A Newcastle player has revealed De Gea’s weakness they exploited to beat United

The specific strategies followed by a team to defeat a rival are not usually explained openly in the world of football, let alone point directly to a fellow professional, but the player of NewcastleJacob Murphy did not hesitate to explain that his team had exploited a weak point in the dey to beat at Premier in Manchester Utd in an important battle to get into the Champions League. The key, according to him, is the slowness and the doubts in the development of the game from the goal.

With a player to chat with Ferdinand River on the YouTube channel Vibe with Lima, Murphy assured that on the first kickoff served by the Spanish goalkeeper “we smelled that we could win” because of how he hesitated when it came time to serve. “With his first goal kick, De Gea took a long time. It was a bit strange; he took his time, he was asking everyone to go up the field, then he kicked long,” explained the Newcastle midfielder. “They were taking their time, signaling a lot, I could feel from that we were going to have a good game from there,” he added about the doubts and the slowness in creating play from defense.

That first game was the one that according to Murphy made them adjust themselves to the pressure and distribute the players to whom each of their teammates had to go. The pressure from Newcastle players on United players at kick-offs was terrifying, putting pressure on De Gea and the team’s defenders there is a hag. In the play before Newcastle’s goal, you can see how they take advantage of the slowness of approach to get the ball out to force Varane’s turnover and capitalize on the scoreboard later.
