Ability Quote by David de Gea

“It certainly helps that I'm quite a relaxed guy and I take things in my stride, and if you hear the odd murmur of criticism, you just stay focused on your job and doing what you're working hard to do. I've always been confident in my own ability, and that's just as important.” quote by David de Gea
