Sergio Romero: Caliph for an hour. Who will give United a goalkeeper a new chance?

Next year, after winning silver medals in the Argentinean national team, the main goalkeeper, who had held more than 60 matches at the national level, could be out of work. When in the summer of 2015, Sergio Romero's lease expired in the Genoa "Sampdoria", no European team showed interest in the 28-year-old goalkeeper. The only one who paid attention to the unclaimed Argentine was his former mentor Louis Van Gull. The Dutch specialist took care of the player, who previously coached in the "AZ".

Confused situation with the goalkeepers in the "United"

Despite the fact that in the camp of the "Red Devils" was a full set of goalkeepers, the mankunians actively looked for another goalkeeper, capable of replacing the dreamer of "Real" David De Gea. So Sergio Romero, mentally bid farewell to the continuation of a career in one of the top clubs, was in England and signed a three-year contract with "MU".

It is worth noting that Van Gull positions himself as a dictator coach, and if any of the players disobey the boss, he immediately falls into disgrace. Thus, Victor Valdés was in the double, and David De Gea was not going to release the leadership to Real Madrid on conditions of Madrid, but the goalkeeper number 1 did not receive the game practice either. It was the insidious calculation of Van Gall, who wanted in this way to force the Spaniard to sign a new contract.

Sergio Romero in this game of characters looked more like a pawn, a caliph for an hour. He got his chance and immediately lost his will by his own will. Having played in the Manchester United August games of the 2015-2016 season, with the signing of a new contract by David De Hea, the Argentinean sat down on the bench.

Why goalkeeper number 1 in Argentina is not in demand in the European arena?

A modern football scheme does not line up around one player. Now everything is based on team interaction and understanding by each other's players. Goalkeepers are not particularly valued in the world market due to the fact that they do not have a key role in the team. An exception to this rule can only be 2-3 extra-class goalkeepers. All other guards of the gate are approximately equal in strength, equally good in the frame, but almost all admit errors at the exits.

Evaluation of the game Romero for "United"

If you evaluate the games of Sergio Romero for Manchester United, you can recall a couple of spectacular saves and several unsuccessful exits from the goalkeeper's area. Despite the fact that the Argentine went out to games with glowing eyes and was very eager to prove his right to place in the starting line-up of the great club, he lacked confidence in the game with his feet when he left the gate area. Once, at the match of the Champions League qualifying tournament with the Belgian "Bruges", the English fans even booed Romero for the ridiculous actions in his own penalty area, which almost led to a goal.

At first, the Argentinian played some dry games, but for the sake of justice, it should be noted that the opponents of United at that time were not from the rank of grandees, and the defense of the English club simply did not give opponents the chance to make aim shots at the gate. While a stronger opponent appeared on the horizon, Sergio Romero was powerless. The goalkeeper still took out of the net his own goal several balls from the category of "taking". Fans of "United" eagerly eagerly finished the saga with David De Gea and again wanted to see in the frame of the gate only a Spaniard with his dizzying saves and matchless legs.

A new occasion for rumors

Despite the fact that the Argentinian resignedly returned the guard of the gate to his capricious predecessor, in the press again there are rumors about Sergio Romero. The personal life of the goalkeeper, who moved to the Foggy Albion, does not give peace to the English paparazzi. This is how the rumors about the love affair of his wife Romero with another Argentinian football player - Sergio Aguero, who is in favor of Manchester City. Romero and his wife Ellian even appeared on television to provide a refutation. According to the wife of the goalkeeper, "MU", despite the fact that both football players have been friends for many years, she is not even familiar with the star of "Manchester City".
