Spanish chief Marchena: De Gea has support of all of us

Spanish Federation chief Carlos Marchena insists no-one doubts Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.

There's been media calls for De Gea to be dropped by Spain after his performance in their 3-3 draw with Portugal.

But Marchena said: "As the master Luis Aragonés said, David has wide shoulders and has been playing for a long time. He is a player with a lot of experience and accidents can happen.

"He is a goalkeeper, one of ours, he has the confidence of the group, the coach and everyone to do well and continue to enjoy the World Cup."
