Besides his excellent performance, Andre Onana attracted attention when he continuously applied a white cream to his gloves, as if it was a way to help him increase his confidence.

Andre Onana faced 15 shots from Liverpool in just the first 45 minutes and had to save 6 times in the Super Sunday match round 32 of the Premier League. The Cameroonian goalkeeper attracted attention with his excellent saves. But besides that, the way Onana takes care of her gloves is also of interest to the media.

During the match, when his hands were free, Onana repeatedly applied a white cream to the inside of his catcher’s glove. Reporters temporarily called it Vaseline cream. He was also seen putting vaseline on his gloves during the game against West Ham in December

But why Onana did that was something no one could explain at the time.

In a conversation with goalkeeper Ben Foster (Man United), colleague Ben Wilson (Coventry City) revealed what Vaseline cream is and why many goalkeepers, not just Onana, use it. often during the match.

“A lot of goalkeepers around the world tend to use this cream. As for me, I don’t allow myself to do that cheating. No matter how peeling and damaged the catcher’s gloves are. , I also do not use this cream.

“Honestly, this is a game-changer!

“While working with Martyn Margetson in Cardiff, he told me to put Vaseline on my gloves. I could feel the difference between applying and not applying, it was unbelievable

“I can tell who has applied Vaseline to their gloves because that person will be able to catch the ball much better than usual. When the ball fits in the palm of the hand, the sticky feeling will be more noticeable. ” – Foster shared.

Currently, the world football governing body does not have any ban on applying Vaseline cream to football gloves. It takes more time to verify the effects of this cream and how it affects the game.

With Andre Onana, he is gradually becoming a true pillar of Manchester United. The Cameroonian goalkeeper, after initially having mental troubles, is getting better with each match. He has now kept 8 clean sheets since the beginning of the season in the Premier League.
