Rubinho: De Gea's impact has resurrected Fiorentina reminiscent of the Toldo and Frey era, says Carlos Volcano

In an interview with Radio FirenzeViola, he mentioned that despite De Gea still feeling the effects of being out for over a year, he has already made a significant impact on Fiorentina in the early matches.

"I think he can only grow further and show everyone the qualities he has. He is a top goalkeeper and seeing him defend Fiorentina's goal reminds me of when there were the likes of (Francesco) Toldo and (Sebastien Frey.

"Goalkeepers need to feel confident on and off the pitch. (Pietro) Terracciano was a goalkeeper who, even in a match in which he played well but at the end made a mistake, the fans criticised him.

"De Gea, on the other hand, even if he doesn't have a top game, is still De Gea. The Spaniard has the trust of the environment because he gives a lot of security. Terracciano didn't have that much confidence."
