In the portal "EuroFootball.com," a vote was held yesterday to select the best player of the week (2017-12-01 / 2017-12-03).
A total of exactly 500 portal visitors participated in the survey until midnight, choosing from the following five players: Eden Hazard, Philippe Coutinho, Iago Aspas, Ivan Perisic, and David De Gea.
The portal visitors almost unanimously chose "Manchester United" goalkeeper David De Gea as the best player of the week, who had a fantastic performance in the match against London's "Arsenal."
The Spanish national team goalkeeper repeated the "Premier" league record for saved shots - 14. De Gea received a total of 378 votes - 75.6 percent of the visitor votes.
The most visited football news portal in the country traditionally presents five interesting facts about the player who was selected as the player of the week:
1. When David De Gea arrived from Madrid's "Atletico" to "Manchester United" in 2011, he became the most expensive goalkeeper in English football history at that time - a sum of 18.9 million pounds was paid for him.
2. Legendary "Red Devils" goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel referred to the Spaniard as "Van de Gea" in 2011 - it was then that the young goalkeeper was meant to replace the legendary Edwin van der Sar.
3. The Spanish national team goalkeeper confirmed in 2012 that he is nearsighted, but as his performances show - this visual impairment has absolutely no negative impact on him.
4. The 27-year-old player is a big fan of rock and heavy metal music, and one of his favorite bands is "Avenged Sevenfold." The Spaniard can also play the drums himself.
5. De Gea's girlfriend, Edurne, is one of the most popular pop music artists in Spain. In 2015, she participated in Eurovision, where she finished in 21st place.
