2. His music taste
David De Gea is a calming presence on and off the pitch and in the dressing room as well. However, very few are aware that the Spaniard is a big fan of heavy metal genre – a kind of music that hardly goes with his appearance.
Apparently, the 28-year-old is a big fan of Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold and has been sighted at their concerts whenever they are in town. In the dressing room, however, De Gea is hardly allowed to put on his favourite songs.
In an interview in 2014, he said,
“I like metal and rock bands like Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica.
“When I put it on in the dressing room, everyone moans. Most of the other players are into hip-hop.”
For that matter, De Gea’s girlfriend Edurne Garcia is also a famous singer who has represented Spain at an international level.
